What Is an Electrical Home Inspection?
An electrical home inspection provides a thorough examination of your entire electrical system, ensuring all electrical wires, systems, and components (such as appliances) meet legal safety standards. The Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) is the code that all electricians operate under when examining your home, and defines the parameters for minimum standards across the Canada. Upon completion of your electrical home inspection, a Blitz Electric inspector will provide a detailed, prioritized checklist including areas in need of immediate attention, recommendations for improvements, and potential upgrade possibilities.
