Residential Electrical Inspection — Know What You Are Working With
Whether you are buying, selling, or just want to know the state of your home’s electrical system, we provide thorough inspections with clear, actionable reports. ECRA/ESA 7014730.
An Electrical Inspection Takes the Guesswork Out
Most homeowners do not think about their electrical system until something goes wrong — a breaker that keeps tripping, an outlet that feels warm, or an insurance company asking questions about the wiring. A professional electrical inspection gives you a clear picture of your home's electrical health before issues become emergencies.
At KV Bear Electrical (ECRA/ESA 7014730), we inspect the full electrical system: the panel, the wiring type and condition, the grounding, the outlets, switches, fixtures, and any code violations. You receive a detailed written report with findings and recommendations — no jargon, just clear information you can act on.
What the Inspection Covers
Panel Inspection
We inspect the electrical panel condition and capacity, check for known safety issues (FPE, Zinsco), look for double-tapped breakers, and assess the overall state.
Wiring Assessment
We identify wiring type (copper, aluminum, knob-and-tube), check visible wiring condition in accessible areas, and assess grounding and bonding.
Outlets & Fixtures
We check outlet and switch condition, verify GFCI protection where required, test for proper grounding, and look for code violations throughout.
Written Report
You receive a detailed written report outlining our findings, any code violations or safety concerns, and our recommendations for priority repairs.
Electrical Inspection Cost
A residential electrical inspection typically costs $250-$450 depending on the size and age of the home. You receive a detailed written report that can be used for real estate transactions, insurance requirements, or personal planning. Call us to discuss your specific situation.

“KV Bear was recommended to us by a friend. We wanted to install a Tesla charger only to find out our electrical panel was known for faulting resulting in an electrical fire. He showed us signs of the panel arcing. The work was clean, professional, and fast! We are so happy we hired a professional.”
