Ensuring the grounding system is properly installed

Testing AFCI & GFCI breakers and receptacles

When should you schedule an Electrical Inspection?

Unlike your plumbing or HVAC systems, yearly inspections of your wiring and overall electrical system are often not necessary. A good rule of thumb is every 10 years for residential homes, every 5 years for commercial buildings, and every 5 years for rental properties.

However, there are special instances where an electrical inspection is recommended immediately:

You are Purchasing a New Home – It’s easy to get drawn into a charming heritage or an older home with good bones, but keep in mind that most older homes (and some newer ones too) may have hidden electrical issues. Do your part as a diligent homebuyer and make sure to check if an inspection has already been performed. If not, call Kobalt Systems to schedule an immediate inspection. We want you to confidently purchase your new home with peace of mind that there won’t be any electrical surprises once you’ve moved in.

Recurring Electrical Problems – Electrical issues are usually caused by poor installations, worn out or damaged circuit breakers, or an inadequate electrical system that can’t keep up with your modern devices and appliances. A comprehensive inspection will need to be performed on your system to determine the cause of the problem.

Appliance or Equipment Upgrades – Are you planning to upgrade your kitchen, garage or laundry room appliances? Have you discovered the energy efficiencies of a tankless water heater or personal EV charging stations and are wanting to have them installed? Make sure new appliances and equipment are installed by licensed electricians who can properly inspect your current electrical system and make sure it’s able to handle the demands of your new additions.

Water Damage – If your home recently experienced a plumbing emergency or storm damage that flooded your home, your electrical system may have been affected as well. If you start to notice reoccurring issues, please don’t hesitate to contact us for a professional inspection.

If you don’t know when your wiring was last inspected, especially if you have any of these warning signs:

Breakers that trip or fuses that blow repeatedly
A tingling sensation when you touch an appliance
Flickering or dimming lights
A persistent burning smell from a room or appliance
Warm, discolored, or sparking outlets
Two-prong ungrounded outlets throughout the house
No ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets in kitchens, baths, and other areas exposed to moisture.

Please call to schedule an appointment immediately.
