What Is an Electrical Safety Check?

An electrical safety check is a top-to-bottom evaluation of your home’s electrical system. We inspect critical areas like your:

  • Main panel and breakers
  • Wiring and junctions
  • Grounding and bonding systems
  • Outlets, switches, and GFCI protection
  • Smoke and CO detectors
  • Outdoor circuits and service connection


We look for code violations, fire hazards, and wear-and-tear issues that could cause problems now or in the future.

You’ll get a full report, and we’ll walk you through any concerns we find. No jargon, no pressure, just clear answers.

Common Questions About Electrical Safety Checks
Q. When Should You Schedule an Electrical Safety Check?

ANSWER: Electrical systems don’t last forever. If it’s been a while since someone looked at your wiring, or if you’ve noticed warning signs, it’s a good time to schedule a check.

Here’s when most homeowners call Bierlein-Trombley Electric for a safety inspection:

  • You’ve just purchased an older home
  • Lights flicker or breakers trip frequently
  • You smell burning or notice warm outlets
  • You’ve added major appliances or electronics
  • You’re getting ready for a remodel
  • You’re not sure your system is up to current code
  • Your insurance company requested an inspection
  • You want peace of mind, plain and simple

ANSWER: We’ve inspected homes that looked fine until we opened the panel or tested the circuits. Some of the most common issues we uncover include:

  • Ungrounded or outdated wiring
  • Double-tapped breakers
  • Overloaded circuits
  • Loose neutral connections
  • Faulty GFCI or AFCI protection
  • Improper junctions in attic or crawlspace
  • Aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring still in use
  • Missing surge protection or outdoor disconnects (now required by code)


We don’t expect homeowners to know all the codes. That’s our job, and we take it seriously.

ANSWER: Yes. Many electrical problems are silent risks you won’t notice until something fails.
A safety check is like a wellness visit for your home. It helps you:

  • Catch issues early before they become emergencies
  • Avoid fire, shock, and insurance headaches
  • Plan upgrades or repairs with real data
  • Understand what’s safe, what’s outdated, and what to watch


Unlike a rushed home inspection, we take the time to dig into your electrical system properly with licensed, trained eyes.

ANSWER: Our standard safety check is affordable, thorough, and worth your peace of mind.

  • Standard Electrical Safety Check: $200–$400 depending on size of home
  • Add-on Infrared Scanning: $100–$250
  • Code compliance reports: Available upon request


You’ll receive a written report and walkthrough of what we found, what’s urgent, and what’s recommended. You’ll never feel pressured into unnecessary upgrades.

ANSWER: People around here call us because our reputation comes down to safe, honest, high-quality work.

Here’s what sets our safety checks apart:

  • Licensed, experienced electricians
  • Familiar with both current code and older systems
  • Respect for your home and family
  • Clear education and communication
  • Full transparency and fair pricing


We’ve been called in after house fires, failed inspections, and close calls. Our mission is to prevent those things from happening in the first place.
