Thorough, Real-World Electrical Inspections
- Main service equipment, meter, grounding & bonding
- Panel condition: breakers, labeling, double-taps, overheating
- Branch circuits and visible wiring methods
- GFCI/AFCI protection where required (kitchen, bath, laundry, exterior, etc.)
- Receptacles, switches, and fixtures for function & safety
- Smoke/CO detector placement & operation (where present)
- Common hazards: loose connections, open junction boxes, DIY work
- Readiness for renovations, EV chargers, heat pumps, and added loads
You get a practical explanation in plain language—what’s safe, what’s marginal, and what should be corrected now vs. planned for later.
Inspections for Buyers, Sellers & Homeowners
- Buying an older home and want a deeper look than the general home inspection.
- Selling and want to fix issues before they show up on a report.
- Owning a home with flickering lights, tripping breakers, or past DIY work.
- Planning upgrades like mini-splits, EV chargers, hot tubs, or additions.
A focused electrical inspection can prevent surprise costs, failed transactions, and unsafe conditions.
Clear Findings. No Scare Tactics.
After the inspection, Melone Electric provides a clear summary of:
- Any immediate safety concerns that should be addressed.
- Items that are code-deficient or outdated but not emergencies.
- Options for upgrades to support future loads and modern usage.
You’re free to share our findings with your realtor, home inspector, or contractor. No pressure sales—just honest information and pricing if you want us to handle the work.
Our Inspection Process
- Schedule your visit with a narrow arrival window.
- Walkthrough to understand concerns (age of home, issues, plans).
- System check of service, panel, circuits, and visible wiring.
- Test devices: outlets, GFCIs, AFCIs, and accessible fixtures.
- Review findings with you on-site in clear, simple terms.
Most inspections take 60–120 minutes depending on the home and access.
Home Electrical Inspection FAQs
Is this the same as a full home inspection?
No. A general home inspector looks at many systems at a surface level. We focus solely on electrical and go deeper on panels, wiring, protection, and hazards.
Will you fix problems during the inspection?
Minor issues can sometimes be corrected on the spot. For larger items, we’ll provide straightforward pricing so you can decide next steps.
Can I schedule this before making an offer or after I’m under contract?
Yes. Buyers often schedule us during their inspection period, or sellers bring us in before listing so there are no surprises later.
Do you provide written findings?
We can outline key observations and recommendations in writing so you, your agent, or your contractor have a clear reference.
How much does an electrical inspection cost?
Pricing depends on the size, age, and complexity of the home. Contact us with the address and basic details and we’ll give you a clear number up front.
