    Electrical Inspections

    What happens during an electrical inspection?

    During a home electrical inspection, a licensed electrician checks the switchboard, safety switches, visible wiring, power points, light fittings and smoke alarms, and tests key circuits. You then receive an explanation of what was found, what is safe, and what should be repaired or upgraded.
