Getting an Electrical Inspection When Buying/Selling Your Home

We all know the old saying ‘don’t judge a book by it’s cover’ – but did you know it applies to home electrical systems as well? The state of an electrical system simply can’t be determined by how it looks on the outside. Just because you haven’t noticed flickering lights doesn’t mean that your panel is in tip top shape. An electrical inspection, as part of a home inspection, is the only way to know what’s truly going on with a home electrical system. When it comes to buying and selling a home, inspections are even more important.

Many homebuyers neglect to have an electrical inspection conducted in a home they are intending to purchase. However, not doing so can lead to surprise expenses later on down the line. Even newer homes can have faulty or poorly-installed electrical systems that require repairs or even replacements down the line. By performing an electrical inspection in your prospective home, you can make sure there aren’t any costly surprises down the line.

Purchasing a home is often the biggest financial decision many of use make in our lives. You might fall in love with the home so much that you bypass an inspection, only to find out that there is danger lurking in the walls. Electrical deficiencies aren’t just annoying, they can be incredibly damaging. The value of an inspection greatly outweighs the upfront cost. Furthermore, if a licensed inspector does find something wrong with the place, you can use this new information to adjust, or rescind, your offer.
