Electrical Inspections
The electrical system
One of the most important part of the home inspection is the electrical system. The electrical system distributes 120-volt and 220-volt alternating current power around the house. This power is used to operate devices or appliances for cooking, cleaning, entertainment, lighting, etc. Improperly installed wiring or electrical safety devices can have disastrous outcomes.
