Our commitment goes beyond simply checking boxes on an inspection form. We believe every home deserves the peace of mind that comes with a thoroughly evaluated electrical system.

Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge you need to make informed decisions about your home’s electrical safety.
Why Electrical Safety Inspections Matter More Than Ever
Electrical failures or malfunctions are a factor contributing to the ignition of four out of five home fires, making electrical issues the second leading cause of residential fires. These alarming statistics underscore a critical truth: many electrical hazards develop silently over time, often going unnoticed until a dangerous situation occurs.
Modern North Texas homes place unprecedented demands on electrical systems that were often designed decades ago. From high-definition entertainment systems and home offices to electric vehicle chargers and smart home devices, today’s electrical loads far exceed what older wiring systems were designed to handle. This increased demand, combined with the region’s extreme weather conditions—including intense summer heat that can stress electrical components—makes regular inspections essential.
The good news is that most electrical hazards are preventable when caught early. Professional electrical inspections can identify outdated wiring, overloaded circuits, improper installations, and other potentially dangerous conditions before they result in fires, injuries, or property damage.
What Our Comprehensive Electrical Inspections Include
Electrical Panel Assessment
Your electrical panel serves as the control center for your home’s entire electrical system. Our thorough evaluation includes checking the panel’s condition, testing amperage capacity, inspecting circuit breakers and connections, and ensuring proper labeling. We pay special attention to older panels, particularly Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) panels, which have a documented history of failure and may require replacement for safety reasons.
Complete Wiring and Safety Device Evaluation
We examine all accessible wiring throughout your home, looking for signs of damage, deterioration, or outdated materials. Knob-and-tube wiring, common in homes built before 1950, poses significant fire hazards and typically requires replacement. We also test all GFCI outlets and verify that AFCI protection is installed where required by current electrical codes, particularly in bedrooms and living areas.
Common Warning Signs That Indicate You Need an Inspection
Several warning signs indicate your home needs professional electrical attention immediately. Flickering lights, especially when large appliances turn on, can signal overloaded circuits or loose connections. Frequent circuit breaker trips suggest your electrical system is working harder than it should. Burning smells, scorch marks around outlets, or sparks when plugging in devices are serious red flags that require immediate professional evaluation.
Other warning signs are less obvious but equally important. Outlets that feel warm to the touch, lights that dim when appliances start, or extension cords used as permanent solutions all indicate potential electrical problems. Additionally, if your home is over 20 years old and hasn’t had recent electrical updates, it may lack the capacity to safely handle modern electrical demands.
Investment Benefits of Regular Electrical Inspections
Safety and Peace of Mind
The primary benefit of regular electrical inspections is knowing your family is protected from preventable electrical hazards. Early detection and correction of electrical problems can literally save lives while providing invaluable peace of mind.
Property Value and Efficiency
A well-maintained electrical system protects and enhances your property value while often identifying opportunities to improve energy efficiency. Documented electrical inspections can be valuable selling points when it’s time to move, while preventing electrical problems helps avoid costly emergency repairs. Many clients discover that electrical improvements pay for themselves through reduced energy costs.
Insurance and Code Compliance
Regular electrical inspections help ensure your home meets current safety codes and insurance requirements. Some insurance companies offer discounts for homes with documented electrical safety maintenance, while proper electrical systems help avoid coverage issues if problems arise.
