At Wicks Electric, we believe that peace of mind starts with proactive care, not reactive repairs. That’s why we’re proud to launch our 20-Point Electrical Safety Inspection—a detailed, professional walk-through of your electrical system, designed to help you spot issues before they turn into costly problems.
Whether you’re a homeowner, property manager, or business owner, this inspection is a smart, preventative step that ensures your system is running safely, efficiently, and up to code.
So… Why Get an Electrical Inspection Now?
Electrical systems are often out of sight, out of mind—until something goes wrong. But just like regular tune-ups for your car, your electrical system needs checkups too. Here are a few great times to consider booking one:
- You’ve just moved into a new home
- You’re planning a renovation or upgrade
- You’re getting ready to sell or list your property
- You’re experiencing recurring issues or have safety concerns
- You haven’t had a proper inspection in years
If any of these sound familiar, it might be time to take a closer look at what’s behind your walls.
Why This Inspection Matters
Electrical issues can be silent — until they’re suddenly not. Overheating breakers, outdated wiring, overloaded circuits, or a missing GFCI outlet can pose real risks to your property and your safety.
Our licensed electricians have designed this inspection to give you a clear, honest look at how your system is performing, how up to code it is, and where small improvements can make a big impact. It’s not just preventative — it’s empowering.
What’s Included in Our 20-Point Inspection?
We’ve crafted a checklist that covers the most important aspects of your electrical system — from the main panel and breaker functions, all the way to smart device integration and EV charger readiness. Each point is clearly explained, and you’ll receive a detailed digital report with notes and photos so you can make informed decisions about your space.
Here’s what we inspect:
- Main Service Panel – Check for proper labelling, corrosion, overheating, and loose connections
