An electrical inspection answers the questions you cannot answer by looking: what wiring type is in the walls, whether the panel is sound, whether the grounding exists, and whether the system matches the loads. We inspect homes across Stuart and Martin County for buyers, sellers, insurance, and plain peace of mind.
You get a written report with photos: what we found, what it means, and what — if anything — needs attention.
Pre-Purchase Inspections
Buying a Stuart home — especially one of the older downtown houses or a riverfront property — means inheriting someone else's electrical decisions. Our pre-purchase inspection documents the panel, the wiring types, the grounding, GFCI protection, and any DIY surprises, so you negotiate with facts instead of discovering them after closing.
The report prioritizes findings: safety issues first, then code and insurance concerns, then improvements worth planning.
4-Point Inspections for Insurance
Florida insurers commonly require a 4-point inspection on older homes, and the electrical section is where many homes stumble: outdated panels, ungrounded wiring, double-tapped breakers, and missing GFCI protection. We perform the electrical portion with an eye toward what underwriters actually flag.
If the inspection finds problems, we quote the fixes — panel work, rewiring sections, device upgrades — so you can clear the insurance requirement in one coordinated job.
Safety Inspections for Homeowners
Not buying or insuring — just want to know? A safety inspection covers the panel interior, a sample of devices and connections, grounding and bonding, smoke and CO detector placement, and surge protection status. It is the right move for a newly purchased older home, after a lightning strike, or when the electrical system is simply a mystery.
Every inspection ends with the written report. No scare tactics, no inflated findings — just what is there and what it means.
Common questions
What does an electrical inspection cover?
The panel and breakers, wiring types, grounding and bonding, GFCI/AFCI protection, a sample of outlets and switches, and smoke/CO detector placement. You get a written report with photos.
My insurance wants a 4-point inspection. Can you do the electrical part?
Yes. We document the electrical system with insurers' requirements in mind, and if anything needs fixing to satisfy the underwriter, we quote the repair work too.
How long does an inspection take?
A typical home inspection runs one to two hours, depending on the size of the house and the accessibility of the panel and attic.
Will the inspection damage anything?
No. It's non-invasive — we open the panel cover and device plates for visual inspection and testing, then put everything back. No drywall gets opened.
