What to Expect During Your Electrical Inspection

Your NorTech electrical inspection is non-invasive, conducted by qualified professionals, and designed to identify safety risks, system inefficiencies, and code issues—before they become serious problems. Most inspections take 60–90 minutes, depending on your home’s layout and system accessibility.

During the Visit, Your Technician Will:

Perform a complete walkthrough of your electrical system, including panels, breakers, outlets, switches, lighting, and visible wiring
Use voltage testers, thermal cameras, and load meters to detect overheating, faulty connections, or system overloads
Document findings with photos, performance metrics, and compliance notes
Deliver a detailed report within 24 hours, outlining any concerns and next steps for repairs or upgrades

Please note: Corrective repairs are not included with the inspection unless they are pre-scheduled by contacting NorTech Dispatch Support.

Common Issues We Catch Early:

Breakers that silently fail to trip
Undetected aluminum wiring or ungrounded outlets
Overloaded circuits powering too many appliances
Heat damage behind light fixtures or outlets
Missing or expired surge protection systems
Electrical panels with outdated brands or unsafe configurations
