Frequently Asked Questions
A professional electrical home inspection generally runs $450-800, depending on the size and age of the home.
It’s a small price for knowing exactly what’s living behind your walls — especially before buying, or with a house
that’s a few decades old. You get a clear, flat price upfront.
We go through your panel, breakers, wiring, outlets, GFCI protection, grounding, smoke detectors, and overall
load to surface anything unsafe, outdated, or out of code. You come away with a plain-English report — what’s
solid, what needs attention, what’s urgent — with no jargon and no scare tactics, just the truth about your
home’s wiring.
It’s one of the smartest moves you can make, particularly with older homes around Gainesville and Hall County.
A standard home inspection barely scratches the electrical surface; a dedicated one catches outdated panels,
unsafe DIY wiring, missing GFCI protection, and aluminum wiring before any of it becomes your expensive
problem. Knowing before you sign can save you thousands.
Watch for flickering lights, warm outlets, frequent breaker trips, two-prong outlets, a fuse box, burning smells, or
a panel brand that’s been recalled. If the home is more than a few decades old and hasn’t been looked at, it’s
worth an inspection. We’ll tell you honestly whether it’s fine or whether it needs work.
Most home electrical inspections take 2-4hrs depending on the size of the house. We’re thorough but efficient,
and you’ll get the findings walked through on the spot — no sitting around afterward wondering what we found.
