What A Whole Home Electrical Safety Evaluation Includes

Your evaluation covers the essentials that keep power safe and reliable every day. We look at age, condition, and how well your system supports how you live right now.

• Service entrance, meter base, mast, and bonding
• Main panel and any subpanels: breakers, labeling, clearances, and signs of heat or corrosion
• Grounding and bonding for water, gas, and supplemental electrodes
• Wiring methods and splices we can see without opening walls
• Outlets, switches, and fixtures for damage, heat, and proper polarity
• Protection devices like gfci and afci where they make sense
• Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors for placement, age, and interconnection
• Surge protection and sensitive electronics risk points
• Common add‑ons: hot tubs, EV chargers, sheds, and exterior circuits

If you want an even deeper check, we can pair your evaluation with our full electrical safety inspections for added testing and documentation.

What We Often Find During Evaluations

Every home is unique, but these issues come up often in our area:

• Panels without clear labeling, double‑taps, or aging breakers
• Two‑prong outlets mixed with newer devices on the same circuit
• Missing gfci or afci protection in kitchens, baths, laundry, bedrooms, and outdoors
• Loose or overheated connections at outlets and switches
• Detectors past their service life or not interconnected
• Minimal surge protection for sensitive electronics and appliances

We will explain what’s urgent, what’s recommended, and where a simple fix can go a long way. If protection is missing, we may recommend gfci and afci upgrades or whole‑home surge protection to add strong layers of safety.

Local Context: Moscow, Pullman, And Latah County

Older homes near downtown Moscow and student rentals around the area sometimes have mixed‑age wiring and add‑ons from past remodels. Rural properties across Latah County may have long runs to shops and outbuildings. In Pullman, pre‑purchase buyers often want a quick electrical hazard assessment that fits a tight inspection window. We tailor each evaluation to the property so you get focused answers fast.

Fast fixes we often help with after an evaluation include breaker labeling, replacing worn receptacles, adding protection where water is present, and bringing detectors up to date. If your evaluation shows limited capacity or frequent trips, choosing a right‑sized upgrade through our panel upgrades service can improve both safety and convenience. For homes with electronics and backup power, ask about whole‑home surge protection. And if detectors need attention, we handle smoke and co detector installation with neat, professional wiring.

What This Service Is Not

A safety evaluation is a practical, non‑invasive check. We do not open finished walls or provide structural or appliance certifications. Where detailed diagnostics are appropriate, we will explain your options and next steps. Exact costs vary by home size and the work you choose to complete.

When To Schedule An Evaluation

• Before listing or making an offer on a home
• After a remodel adds new loads
• When breakers trip, lights flicker, or outlets feel warm
• Annually for rentals and student housing
• Before winter or after storm‑related power issues
