Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about electrical inspections in Durham, the GTA and Northumberland County? Here are answers to the questions we hear most often.
When should I book an electrical inspection?
Book an inspection if your insurance company has requested one, you’re buying or selling a home, you’re planning a renovation, or your property is more than 25 years old and has never been checked. Warning signs like flickering lights, warm outlets, frequently tripping breakers or a burning smell mean you should call right away.
My insurance company is asking for an electrical inspection. Can you help?
Yes, this is one of the most common calls we get. Ontario insurers often require an inspection when a home has knob and tube wiring, aluminum wiring, a 60 amp service or an older fuse panel. We inspect the system, provide the written documentation for your insurer, and if upgrades are required we quote them on the spot so you can keep your coverage without the runaround.
What does your electrical inspection include?
We inspect your panel and breakers, wiring type and condition, grounding and bonding, outlets and switches, GFCI protection and any areas specific to your situation, such as aluminum wiring connections or renovated spaces. You receive a written report covering what passed, what needs attention and a clear quote for any recommended repairs.
How long does an electrical inspection take?
Most home inspections take one to two hours depending on the size and age of the property. Commercial and industrial inspections vary with the facility, so we scope those when you book. Either way, you get your report quickly, which matters when an insurer or a closing date is waiting on it.
Do you inspect commercial and industrial buildings?
Yes. We handle annual maintenance inspections, insurance and compliance audits, panel and distribution checks, emergency lighting testing and industrial inspections covering three-phase power, motor controls and equipment wiring. We schedule around your operating hours to keep downtime to a minimum.
What happens if the inspection finds a problem?
You get straight answers, not scare tactics. Your report explains each issue, how urgent it is and what it will cost to fix, with no pressure and no obligation. If you want the work done, our electricians handle the repairs and back them with a 1 year labour warranty. If something can safely wait, we’ll tell you that too.
