What's Covered
A Complete Electrical Code Inspection of Your Entire Home
Our home electrical inspection is a full-system review, not a quick panel glance.
Wiring Condition & Type
We review accessible wiring for age and condition, including legacy systems like aluminum or knob-and-tube where present.
Outlets, Switches & GFCI Protection
We inspect grounding, polarity, and GFCI coverage where code requires it: kitchens, baths, garages, and exterior circuits.
Grounding & Bonding
We verify grounding and bonding integrity so fault current has a safe path, and shock and surge risks stay controlled.
Circuit Load & Capacity
We assess overloading risks, uneven circuit distribution, and panel capacity limits that affect your home's safety and reliability.
Code Compliance & Hazard Identification
We flag visible conditions that fail current NEC or Michigan electrical code and walk you through practical fixes.
Who This Is For
Common Reasons to Book an Electrical Inspection
Homeowners schedule electrical inspections for many reasons. Below are the situations where one is worth booking.
Pre-Purchase Home Inspection
Before closing, we look past a general inspection to catch panel defects, wiring concerns, and code hazards that become costly surprises.
Older Home Safety Inspection
Homes built decades ago often run on aging components and legacy wiring methods that no longer meet today's electrical safety standards.
Insurance-Required Inspection
We provide professional inspection documentation that insurers accept for underwriting, policy renewals, and corrective-action verification.
Post-Storm & Surge Inspection
Storms and power surges can leave hidden damage behind. We find compromised components before they escalate into larger, costlier failures.
Home Selling Prep Inspection
Sellers can avoid negotiation surprises by identifying and fixing electrical issues before buyers begin their due diligence on the home.
Landlord & Rental Inspection
Periodic rental inspections help landlords document electrical safety, reduce liability exposure, and protect the well-being of every tenant.
What We Find
What Home Electrical Inspections Often Find
Older Metro Detroit homes tend to share the same electrical risks. Here's what we find most often:
- ✓Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or other recalled panel equipment still in service
- ✓Aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring needing modernization
- ✓Panels at or near capacity with no room for safe circuit expansion
- ✓Missing or improperly installed GFCI protection
- ✓Double-tapped breakers or wrong-sized circuit protection
- ✓Ungrounded outlets in older living spaces
- ✓Exposed, improvised, or improperly spliced wiring
- ✓Brittle or degraded insulation on older conductors
When we find a problem, we can fix it directly. Common follow-up work includes Electrical Panel Services, Whole-Home Surge Protection.

FAQs
Questions Homeowners Ask About Electrical Inspections
How often should a home get an electrical inspection?+
A 10-year baseline works for many homes, but older properties, renovations, home purchases, insurance requirements, and post-event concerns often call for an earlier inspection.
What is the difference between a general home inspection and an electrical safety inspection?+
General inspections are broad by design. A licensed electrician performing an electrical code inspection goes deeper into panel condition, wiring integrity, grounding, circuit loading, and code compliance.
My insurance company requires an inspection. Can Saturn Electric help?+
Yes. We provide professional inspection documentation built for insurance submission, and we can quote any required corrective work.
Do you inspect the whole house or just the panel?+
We inspect the complete accessible electrical system including panel, wiring, outlets, switches, grounding, bonding, GFCI protection, load distribution, and code concerns.
What happens if the inspection finds problems?+
We explain the findings and your options clearly, then provide straightforward pricing for any follow-up work if you decide to proceed.
Is an inspection required when buying a home in Michigan?+
It is not universally required by statute, but many buyers treat it as an important due-diligence step, especially for homes built before 1990.
How long does a home electrical inspection take?+
Most single-family inspections take about 1 to 3 hours, depending on home size, system complexity, and documentation needs.
