Inspectors are supposed to check every inch of your home for defects or for soon to be defects that have to be repaired before you occupy your home. Electrical home inspectors, similarly, have to check the electrical systems, both indoor and outdoor and all the electrical outlets as well to make sure they are working as required and that there are no defects such as any broken wires. It is important to hire a good electrical home inspector to ensure that he or she will do a terrific job since some inspectors do not do a full inspection; they only check a few things quickly and are out of the place.

One can also claim some of the damage costs from the respective insurance in case the inspector reported no problems found and it is found later on that there have been some long term outstanding electrical issues.

Finally, a good electrical inspector will include the client along the inspection tour to be able to explain to them in detail exactly what is wrong and where, and what kind of repairs will be required hence the client knows exactly what they are getting into. The depth of knowledge of the inspector is also shown on this tour.
