Home Electrical Inspections

What to Expect

A full inspection covering panel and breaker condition, outlets, switches, and grounding throughout the home, GFCI and AFCI protection, and smoke and CO detector placement. Identifies knob-and-tube, aluminum, or other outdated wiring, with a written summary of findings and recommended next steps.

Insurance companies in Moncton, Dieppe, and Riverview increasingly require an electrical inspection before covering older homes, and our reports are written to satisfy that requirement directly.

An inspection is often the first step before any other electrical work happens, and it’s also frequently requested on its own, by a homeowner who wants to know where they stand, a buyer doing due diligence before closing, or an insurance company asking for documentation before renewing a policy on an older home. TLB Electric performs the same thorough process regardless of the reason: a full walk-through of the panel, wiring, and every accessible outlet and switch.

The goal of an inspection isn’t to find a reason to sell you a rewire. It’s to give you an honest, written account of the electrical system’s actual condition, so you can make an informed decision about what needs attention now, what can wait, and what’s already fine. If something urgent turns up, such as a double-tapped breaker, exposed wiring, or missing GFCI protection, we’ll flag it clearly and explain the risk in plain terms.

For home purchases specifically, an inspection can uncover issues that aren’t visible during a general home inspection, since electrical problems are often hidden behind walls, in the panel, or in older additions. Catching those before closing can save a lot of negotiation and expense later.
