Common Questions

Residential Electrical FAQs

Common questions from Triangle homeowners about residential electrical services. Don’t see yours? Call us directly — we’re happy to help.
How long does a typical inspection take?
Most residential inspections take between 90 minutes and three hours. The time depends on your property size and electrical system complexity. Larger homes with sub-panels, outbuildings, or older wiring require more time. We don’t rush the process. Missing a safety issue isn’t acceptable. Commercial properties typically require longer inspection periods.
Yes, we need to access all areas where electrical wiring runs. This includes attics, crawl spaces, basements, and utility areas. We examine junction boxes, wire routing, and connections in these spaces. Problems often hide there. If certain areas are truly inaccessible, we note that limitation in our report. Most serious issues are found in these hidden locations.
We document every code violation we discover. We explain the safety concern it creates. Our report categorizes issues as immediate hazards, necessary upgrades, or minor deficiencies. We provide repair recommendations with estimated priority levels. You decide how to proceed based on our findings. We can also provide quotes for correction work if you choose to hire us for repairs.
We can open and inspect panels that have been painted shut. This indicates previous maintenance neglect. Paint inside electrical panels is a code violation. It can hide problems and interfere with connections. We carefully document the panel’s condition. If corrosion or other damage exists beneath the paint, we’ll identify it. We recommend appropriate action based on severity.
Someone needs to provide access. They should show us the location of all panels and sub-panels. After that, you can leave if necessary. Many homeowners prefer to stay so we can explain findings in real time. We’ll need you available by phone if questions arise. For vacant properties, we can coordinate with real estate agents or property managers.

For vacant properties, we can coordinate with real estate agents or property managers.
Missing GFCI protection in kitchens and bathrooms tops our list. We also frequently find double-tapped breakers, improper wire sizing, and Federal Pacific panels that need replacement. Ungrounded outlets, open junction boxes, and insufficient panel capacity for modern loads are common problems. Many older homes have aluminum branch circuit wiring that requires special attention. We see improper DIY work regularly.
