A residential electrical inspection from Castle Electric Inc. includes a licensed, whole‑home check of wiring, the panel, grounding, and safety devices, followed by a clear written report. Most homeowners schedule it to catch hazards, code issues, or aging wiring early. We also prepare documentation you can use for insurance, real estate, or Mass Save projects. Our team regularly performs these inspections in the Chestnut Hill area, with special care for older homes. Urgent risks are flagged for repair now, while lower‑risk items are noted to monitor. In many pre‑1975 houses, we find leftover knob‑and‑tube segments on lighting runs and map them clearly.
Typical checklist highlights:
- Visual review of wiring, outlets, switches, and light fixtures.
- Panel, breakers, and grounding condition; circuit testing of GFCI and other safety devices.
- Surge protection, appliance connections, and load balancing; code and hazard findings.
- Optional: smoke/CO detector verification or install; knob‑and‑tube mapping; BX rewiring; final forms for insurers, real estate, or Mass Save.
If you notice frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, or warm outlets, schedule an inspection soon. <br/> Updated: 2026-04-05 <br/> Need help in Chestnut Hill, MA? Call (781) 762-9891 or book online. “We were very happy with our experience with Castle Electric!” — Erin C.
