Electrical Inspection Services Borough Park
First, we’ll examine your main electrical panel, checking for proper labeling, appropriate breaker sizes, and any signs of overheating or wear. This is where most electrical problems start, so we take our time here.
Next, we test outlets throughout your home, checking for proper grounding, GFCI protection where required, and making sure everything’s wired correctly. We’ll also inspect your circuit breakers, looking for frequent tripping patterns or signs they’re not functioning properly.
We examine all visible wiring for damage, proper installation, and code compliance. In Borough Park’s older homes, this often reveals outdated systems that need attention. Finally, we provide you with a detailed written report that explains our findings in plain language, prioritizes any issues we found, and gives you realistic timelines for addressing them.

Electrical Code Inspection Borough Park
Your electrical inspection covers everything that affects your family’s safety and your home’s compliance with NYC electrical codes. We examine your electrical panel, all visible wiring, outlets, switches, and circuit breakers. We test GFCI outlets, check grounding systems, and verify that your electrical system can handle your home’s current demands.
In Borough Park, we often find homes with electrical systems that were adequate decades ago but struggle with today’s electrical loads. Modern families use more devices, larger appliances, and have different electrical needs than when many of these homes were built.
We also check for common Borough Park electrical issues: overloaded circuits from window air conditioning units, outdated wiring that can’t handle modern appliances, and electrical panels that need upgrading. Our inspection identifies these issues before they become safety hazards or expensive emergencies.
How much does an electrical inspection cost in Borough Park?
Most electrical inspections in Borough Park cost between $150 and $200, depending on your home’s size and age. This includes a thorough examination of your electrical system and a detailed written report.
The investment is worth it when you consider that electrical problems can lead to fires, expensive repairs, or failed home sales. Many of our Borough Park clients tell us the inspection paid for itself by catching issues early, before they became major problems.
We provide upfront pricing with no surprises, and our detailed report helps you prioritize any needed repairs based on safety and budget considerations.
How often should I get my electrical system inspected?
For newer homes in Borough Park, we recommend electrical inspections every 3-5 years. If your home is over 25 years old, you should have it inspected every 2-3 years, since older electrical systems are more prone to problems.
You should also get an inspection whenever you’re buying a home, after major renovations, or if you’ve added significant electrical loads like central air conditioning or electric vehicle charging. Many Borough Park homes were built before modern electrical demands existed, so regular inspections help ensure your system keeps up with your needs.
If you’re experiencing frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, or burning smells, don’t wait for your regular inspection—call us immediately.
What electrical problems do you commonly find in Borough Park homes?
In Borough Park’s older homes, we frequently find electrical panels that need upgrading, outdated wiring that doesn’t meet current codes, and circuits that are overloaded from modern electrical demands. Many homes still have the original electrical systems from decades ago.
We also see issues with GFCI protection in bathrooms and kitchens, improper grounding, and electrical work that wasn’t done to code. Window air conditioning units often overload circuits that weren’t designed for that kind of load.
The good news is that most of these issues can be addressed systematically over time. Our inspection report helps you understand which problems need immediate attention for safety and which ones can be planned for your budget.
Do I need an electrical inspection to sell my home?
While NYC doesn’t require electrical inspections for home sales, many buyers request them, and some mortgage companies require them. Having a recent inspection can actually help your sale go more smoothly.
If you get an inspection before listing, you can address any issues on your timeline rather than scrambling to fix problems during the sale process. Many Borough Park sellers find this approach reduces stress and helps them get better offers.
Even if buyers don’t request an inspection, having documentation that your electrical system is safe and up to code gives potential buyers confidence in your home. It’s one less thing they need to worry about.
What happens if you find electrical code violations during the inspection?
When we find code violations, we explain exactly what needs to be corrected and help you understand the priority level. Some violations are safety-critical and need immediate attention, while others can be addressed when convenient.
We provide clear explanations of what each violation means and realistic cost estimates for corrections. Many Borough Park homeowners are surprised to learn that some “violations” are simply older installations that were legal when installed but don’t meet current standards.
Our goal is to help you understand your options, not create panic. We’ll work with you to develop a plan that addresses safety issues first while respecting your budget and timeline.
Can you inspect electrical work done by other contractors?
Absolutely. We regularly inspect electrical work completed by other contractors, whether it’s for warranty purposes, insurance requirements, or your peace of mind. This is especially common in Borough Park, where homeowners want to verify that renovations were done correctly.
We approach these inspections objectively, focusing on safety and code compliance rather than critiquing another contractor’s work style. If we find issues, we document them clearly and suggest appropriate corrections.
Many homeowners request these inspections after buying homes where electrical work was done by previous owners. It’s a smart way to ensure that all electrical work in your home meets current safety standards, regardless of who did it originally.
