It is becoming common for insurance companies to require an electrical safety inspection for older homes and buildings. Some issues are older types of wiring (knob & tube wiring and aluminum wiring), fuse panels, aging and obsolete breaker panels, and added wiring not to code. They will need to see these items corrected before they will bind coverage. Additional improvements are also recommended, including 120-volt smoke/CO detectors.
Trust our experience at Evanson Electric to identify these problems and make your home safe.
Real Estate Agents
At Evanson Electric, we always recommend the real estate industry be proactive about having an electrical inspection done when listing a home. We often do inspections during subject removal, and electrical issues are identified, potentially adding to an already stressful time. We recommend an inspection be done and issues remedied in advance, and a safety report can be put in a potential buyer’s hand. This will assist a buyer in being able to obtain insurance, which is also required for financing. One step towards a successful subject removal!
