Your home’s electrical system is hidden, but it powers everything you use daily. Lights, outlets, appliances, and safety devices all depend on wiring done the right way. Even brand-new homes can have electrical problems that go unnoticed until it’s too late. That’s where we come in. Our electrical warranty inspection helps protect your home and keeps your system safe and up to code.
Homes built recently or remodeled often come with a warranty from the builder. These warranties usually last a year, and during that time, you have the chance to fix things without paying out of pocket. But once that time passes, you’re on your own. That’s why it’s smart to have the system checked before that deadline hits.
Why is an inspection needed?
Most people only notice problems once something stops working. A flickering light. A tripping breaker. A dead outlet. But by the time those signs appear, your warranty might already have expired. That means you’d be paying out of pocket for mistakes made during the original work.
A full inspection now can help avoid bigger trouble later. It gives you a clear view of what’s going on behind walls, under floors, and inside panels. We check it all. If something’s off, we’ll let you know. That gives you time to ask for repairs while the builder still covers them.
What we look for
Every inspection we do is careful and detailed. We check outlets, switches, panels, wiring, breakers, and safety devices. We also look for signs of poor workmanship. This includes loose wires, wrong breaker sizes, missing labels, or broken covers.
We pay close attention to areas like kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor spaces. These spots need special safety devices, like GFCIs, to protect against shock. If they’re missing or wired wrong, you could be at risk.
Bedrooms and living spaces should have protection too. AFCIs are required in many areas now. We make sure they’re installed and working like they should.
hidden problems we often find
You can’t always see trouble. That’s why so many electrical issues stay hidden until they cause damage. We’ve found wires bent too tight inside boxes. We’ve seen outlets wired backward or left with loose screws. Sometimes, there’s a missing ground wire, which could lead to shock.
Other times, breakers are too big for the wire they’re protecting. That can lead to overheating and fire. Or, a breaker might trip too easily, which gets annoying fast. None of these issues should be part of a new home or a remodel, but they happen.
That’s why this inspection is more than just routine. It’s protection.
Why timing matters
Your builder’s warranty has a time limit. For many people, that window closes before they even think about the electrical system. But once it ends, repairs are your cost. If you find out your panel was wired wrong after the warranty expires, that fix comes out of your pocket.
Getting an electrical warranty inspection before that date helps you use the coverage that’s already part of your home purchase. We give you a full report on anything wrong, so you can send that list to the builder and get it corrected on time.
How do we do it
We send a licensed electrician with the right tools for the job. We don’t rush. We take time to look closely at each part of the system. That includes testing outlets and switches, opening panels, checking safety devices, and reviewing wiring setups.
We also check labels, breaker sizes, wire connections, and code compliance. Every step is focused on safety and performance. We look for what others miss. You don’t need to be an expert, we explain what we find in plain language.
After the inspection, you get a clear report. You’ll know what’s working, what’s not, and what action you can take.
What makes our service reliable
We don’t treat this as a formality. Each inspection is done with care. We’ve seen homes where everything looked fine on the outside, but behind the walls, the system was unsafe. We’ve helped families fix things just in time before warranties ended.
Our goal is safety and clarity. We don’t give guesses. We don’t push extra services. We give facts, based on what we find.
We also know the local rules. Every city has its code, and we stay up to date. That helps us find what might pass a quick look but fail under closer inspection.
issues we check often
One common issue we find is a loose connection inside outlets or panels. That might seem small, but it can cause sparks, heat, and even fires. We’ve also found overloaded circuits, where too many things are on one breaker. That’s a setup for tripping breakers or burnt wires.
We also catch missing or broken GFCI and AFCI protection. These devices are safety tools, and without them, parts of your home may not meet code or safety rules.
Another problem is wrong or missing labels inside panels. In an emergency, you need to know which breaker controls what. Labels help with that. If they’re missing or wrong, we make sure you know.
a smart choice for new homeowners
This inspection gives you peace of mind. You’ve already paid for the warranty—it makes sense to use it while you still can. Getting the electrical system checked before time runs out is one of the smartest moves you can make.
Even if everything seems fine now, small issues can grow. This service gives you a chance to catch those issues while they’re still small and fixable under the warranty. Once the warranty ends, repairs are no longer free.
How to get ready
You don’t need to do much before the visit. Just make sure we can get to your electrical panels, outlets, and rooms. We’ll handle the rest. We bring everything we need and clean up when we’re done.
You’ll get your results the same day in most cases. No long wait, no confusion. Just clear answers and a path forward.
Don’t wait too long
Once the warranty period ends, it’s over. Most people forget to schedule this inspection in time. Then they find a problem and end up paying for something the builder should’ve fixed.
This inspection isn’t about guessing. It’s about knowing. Knowing that your home’s electrical system is safe, correct, and built to last. Knowing you’ve used your warranty the right way. And knowing your home is better protected for the years ahead.
Let us check it now, while there’s still time to fix what the builder missed. That’s a step worth taking.
