Volt Electrical performs thorough electrical inspections for homeowners, home buyers, real estate agents, insurance companies, and businesses throughout Norristown, Eagleville, King of Prussia, Conshohocken, and Plymouth Meeting. Our inspections follow a systematic 50-point checklist that covers every component of your electrical system against the current 2020 NEC standards.

Many homes in Montgomery County — especially those built before 1990 — have electrical systems that were code-compliant when installed but no longer meet current safety standards. Issues like ungrounded outlets, lack of GFCI protection in wet areas, missing AFCI protection on bedroom circuits, oversized breakers, double-tapped breakers, and deteriorating wiring insulation are common findings that represent real safety risks.

After every inspection, you receive a detailed written report with photographs documenting every finding, its severity level, and our recommended remediation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an electrical inspection take?
A standard residential electrical inspection takes 1-2 hours depending on the size and age of your home. Older homes with more complex or deteriorated electrical systems may take longer due to the additional findings that need to be documented. Commercial inspections vary based on the size and complexity of the facility. We schedule inspections with enough time to be thorough — we never rush through an inspection.
How often should I have an electrical inspection?
We recommend an electrical inspection every 5-10 years for homes, or sooner if your home is older than 40 years, you experience electrical problems (flickering lights, tripping breakers), you are buying or selling a home, your insurance company requests one, or you are planning a renovation or major appliance addition. Homes in Norristown and Conshohocken with pre-1940s construction should be inspected more frequently due to the age of their wiring systems.
What is the most common issue found during inspections?
The most common findings in Montgomery County homes are: lack of GFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, and garages (required since 1987 but many older homes were never updated); ungrounded outlets with two-prong receptacles; oversized breakers that do not match the wire gauge on the circuit; missing AFCI protection on bedroom circuits (required since 2017); and deteriorating wiring insulation in attics and basements. These are all correctable issues that significantly improve your home's electrical safety.
