The Electrcial System: 

The electrical system is one of the most important parts of the home if nothing more than for the safety. We will report on the overall condition of the system and report on the wiring materials and methods including any substandard workmanship. Starting with the receptacles we will test for proper polarity and grounding of all accessible receptacles. Next we will report on the presence or need for and ground fault circuit interrupter protection. We will also report on any adverse condition of the receptacles. We will operate all of the light fixtures and report on the condition on the day of the inspection.

We will also remove any accessible electrical panels and report on the condition and wiring methods, presence of grounding and bonding in the panels. We will also report on any visible and accessible wiring methods in other parts of the house such as the basement and attic.
