Schedule: Monday - Friday: 12:00PM - 10:00PM
An electrical inspection is a licensed electrician going through the system and telling you what is safe, what is worn out, and what is a genuine hazard. It is not a sales visit, and it is not a guess based on the age of the house.
People book inspections for a handful of reasons: a real estate transaction, an insurance requirement, a house that has never been checked, or a specific worry such as a panel brand or a problem that keeps coming back. Depending on the age and usage of a property, the electrical system should be checked at least once a year.
407 Electrical inspects residential and commercial electrical systems across the Orlando area. You get a clear picture of the system's condition and a straight answer on what, if anything, needs to be done.
Any one of these is a good reason to have an electrician look at the system.
A general home inspection is not an electrical inspection. If the report flags the electrical system, or the house is older, having an electrician look at it gives you real information to work with.
Panel age and brand, wiring type and service size all come up in underwriting, particularly on older Central Florida homes.
Depending on age and usage, the electrical system should be looked at at least once a year. Most homes have never had it done at all.
FPE (Federal Pacific Electric), Sylvania/Zinsco and Challenger panels are worth confirming before something goes wrong.
Breakers that trip, lights that flicker, outlets that work sometimes. An inspection finds the pattern instead of chasing symptoms.
An EV charger, pool equipment, a new air conditioning system or an addition. Knowing capacity before you commit saves rework.
Ungrounded outlets, missing GFCI protection, undersized service and previous do-it-yourself additions are common finds.
Scope varies with the property and is confirmed on your free estimate. An inspection generally covers:
Service size, panel brand and condition, breaker sizing, grounding and bonding, and whether any capacity is left.
Wiring type and condition, visible code violations, and previous work that was not done properly.
Condition, grounding, polarity, and whether devices are appropriate for where they are installed.
Whether protection is present and working where it is required, including kitchens, bathrooms, garages, laundry rooms and outdoor locations.
Fixtures, junction boxes and reachable connections checked for damage, heat and improper work.
What is safe, what is worn, what is a hazard, and what it would take to correct each item.
Most serious electrical hazards stay invisible until they are not. An inspection finds them while they are still inexpensive to correct.
Knowing capacity and condition before adding an EV charger, a pool or a new air conditioning system prevents surprises mid-project.
A documented electrical condition is far more useful in a negotiation than a general note that the system looks old.
Understanding where the system falls short of current National Electrical Code requirements lets you address it deliberately.
For plenty of customers the finding is that the system is in reasonable shape. That is worth knowing too.
An inspection is only as good as the electrician doing it. 407 Electrical is a certified electrical contractor with over 20 years in Central Florida, license #EC13011955, and our electricians attend ongoing National Electrical Code training.
We make it easy for you to receive electrical services.
Send us a short description and photos of the situation, or set up a video call. We look at it with you and give you a quote.
Once the quote works for you, approve it and we move forward. No work starts before you have agreed on the price.
We send payment information for the deposit. As soon as it is received we move on to scheduling.
We work Monday to Friday, 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Pick a time from our availability and we will be there to do the work.
You get a plain summary of what we found. If items need correcting, we quote them and you decide what to do and when. Urgent safety items are flagged as urgent; everything else is prioritized so you are not pushed into doing it all at once.
If the panel turns out to be the issue, that is usually the first thing to address, since both capacity and circuit protection run through it. See electrical panel replacement for what that work involves.
Replacement of outdated, undersized or recalled electrical panels for Orlando-area homes and businesses, permit and inspection included.
Troubleshooting and repair for outlets, switches, breakers, wiring and fixtures in homes and businesses across the Orlando area.
Installation and replacement of light switches, dimmers and multi-location switching, including the wiring corrections that come with them.
We provide electrical inspection across our Central Florida service area:
Answers to what customers ask us most about electrical inspection.
Depending on the age and usage of the property, the electrical system should be checked at least once a year to confirm it is still safe.
No. A general home inspector reviews the whole property at a high level. An electrical inspection is a licensed electrician examining the electrical system specifically.
It is not required, but for an older home it is one of the more useful checks you can do. Electrical corrections can be significant, and it is better to know before closing.
Several panels have been recalled or are known to fail. The brands we see most often are FPE (Federal Pacific Electric), Sylvania/Zinsco and Challenger. Some can fail to trip during a fault, which can lead to a house fire.
Yes. We inspect residential and commercial systems throughout the Orlando area.
Estimates are free. Tell us the property type, age and size when you request one and we will quote it.
