The primary reason for an electrical inspection is safety– and the peace of mind that comes with the reduced risk of fire and electrocution in your home. It can also mean cost relief, not just from high hydro bills, but also from steep insurance premiums.
Insurance companies like safe homes. Safe homes mean fewer fires and resulting insurance payouts. Often, insurance companies will reduce your insurance premiums if a professional electrical inspection is done. Sometimes when you switch insurance providers, your new provider will ask for a home electrical inspection from a licensed electrical contractor. It can even happen when you’ve had the same provider for a number of years, often after a claim– or if your home is more than 30 years old.
Even aside from the insurance premium savings, it’s best to ensure the safety of your home and family with annual preventive inspections to ensure that the wiring, circuit breakers, and outlets are up to date and that there is no overloading.
