Reasons for Electrical Inspections in BC

A solid electrical system is essential to the safety and functionality of your home. If not properly maintained, your electrical equipment can become a serious safety hazard. However, regular electrical safety inspections will not only identify and correct any issues, but they will also put your mind at ease. So, whether you want to sell or buy a home, replace outdated aluminum electrical wiring, report electrical issues, or ensure the safety of your family from potential hazards, a detailed electrical safety inspection by BPM is the way to go.

Some additional reasons homeowners require a professional electrical safety inspection include:

• Installation Inspection: If you have a new electrical installation, renovation, or addition to your home, an electrical installation permit may be required to be approved for technical safety.
• Service Inspection: When an electrical service connection is installed or upgraded, a licensed electrical contractor can approve it for electrical safety.
• Maintenance Inspection: This is performed to ensure all electrical work is safe, well-maintained, and does not pose any safety hazards. This is often performed for clients looking to sell or buy a home or for general safety inspections.
• Re-Inspection: If your equipment fails the initial inspection request, you will need to undergo another round of electrical safety inspections for certification.

Benefits of Electrical Safety Inspection

A whole-house electrical safety inspection ensures that your home's electrical system complies with federal and provincial standards. This is not only legally required in some cases, but it also gives you peace of mind, knowing that the electrical components in your home are safe for everyday use.

An electrical safety inspection can also bring attention to unsafe electrical work, such as deteriorating electrical equipment, outdated aluminum, knob tube, or rough electrical wiring, old light fixtures, an overloaded electrical panel, and more. Identifying these issues before they present in your home allows for proactive measures to be taken. This can ultimately prevent unsafe conditions such as electrical fires, shocks, and power surges.

While important for your safety, a home electrical safety inspection can also save you money. For one, a well-functioning electrical system will cut down your BC Hydro bill. Additionally, being in good standing with your inspection requests can reduce the premiums for your home insurance. Furthermore, updated electrical equipment that has passed an electrical safety inspection can increase the value of your home. And lastly, you can avoid the costly repairs and replacements that come with neglected electrical issues.

The electrical safety inspection cost varies depending on the size and complexity of the inspection, but the peace of mind it offers is invaluable.

Residential electrical inspection services ensure that all electrical installations in your home meet the highest safety standards, providing a safe living environment.

For commercial property, commercial electrical testing can identify potential issues before they become serious problems, ensuring the safety of employees and customers alike.
