A Dedicated Electrical Inspection Goes Far Deeper Than a Home Inspection

A general home inspector looks at dozens of systems in a few hours — they can’t give your electrical system the deep evaluation it deserves. ElectriciansX provides dedicated electrical inspections performed by a licensed electrician who focuses exclusively on your electrical system: panel condition, wiring type, grounding, bonding, GFCI and AFCI protection, service entrance, and every visible code violation.

Southwest Florida’s housing stock is unique. Many homes — particularly in Cape Coral, Fort Myers, and Lehigh Acres — were built in the 1960s through 1990s and may have Federal Pacific Stab-Lok or Challenger panels, aluminum branch circuit wiring, knob-and-tube wiring, or other issues that represent real safety and insurance problems. Our written inspection report gives you the facts you need to negotiate, plan repairs, or walk away from a bad deal.

What We Inspect & Why

Pre-Purchase Inspection

Buying a home in SW Florida? Before you close, know exactly what you’re inheriting electrically. We identify panel hazards, code violations, and wiring issues — with a written report you can use to negotiate repairs or a price reduction.

Insurance Inspection

Your insurance company requires a 4-point or electrical inspection before issuing or renewing your policy? We provide the licensed electrician inspection and documentation your insurer needs, including panel condition, wiring type, and service size.

Knob & Tube Assessment

Knob-and-tube wiring lacks a ground conductor and is incompatible with modern 3-prong devices and GFCI protection. We assess condition, remaining life, and code compliance — and provide options for upgrading or isolating problem areas.

Aluminum Wiring Evaluation

Aluminum branch circuit wiring (common in homes built 1965–1973) is a fire risk at connections. We identify aluminum wiring, assess connection integrity, and recommend CO/ALR device upgrades or pigtailing to eliminate the hazard.

Panel Hazard Evaluation

We identify Federal Pacific Stab-Lok, Challenger, Zinsco, and other recalled or problematic panels — and provide documentation for insurance, real estate transactions, or personal peace of mind.

Code Compliance Inspection

Older homes often have deficiencies that were code-compliant when built but don’t meet current NEC requirements. We document violations and prioritize them by safety impact so you know what must be fixed and what can wait.

Inspection Questions

How much does an electrical inspection cost?
Residential electrical inspections are priced based on home size and scope. Call us for current pricing — most single-family homes in Cape Coral and Fort Myers are quoted over the phone in under two minutes.
How long does the inspection take?
A thorough residential electrical inspection takes 1–2 hours depending on home size and how accessible the panel, attic, and crawl spaces are. The written report is typically delivered same day or within 24 hours.
Can you provide the inspection report for my real estate transaction?
Yes — we provide a signed, written report that can be submitted to your real estate agent, the seller, an insurance company, or a lender. It includes our license number, the date of inspection, and a clear summary of findings with severity ratings.
Do you inspect docks and marine electrical as part of a pre-purchase inspection?
We can include the dock electrical system as part of a waterfront home inspection. NFPA 303 compliance, grounding, and Electric Shock Drowning (ESD) risk assessment are included for any dock we evaluate. Please let us know when scheduling if the property has a dock.
