Code, permits & peace of mind

We treat the National Electrical Code as the floor, not the finish line.

Old wiring doesn’t announce itself until something goes wrong. We offer dedicated electrical safety inspections for homebuyers, landlords, and anyone in a house built before 1990 — checking for aluminum branch wiring, ungrounded outlets, overloaded panels, and missing AFCI/GFCI protection.

Why it matters

Most fires start in wiring that looked fine.

A lot of Maine’s housing stock predates modern wiring standards. Aluminum branch circuits, two-prong outlets, fuse boxes packed past capacity — they work until the day they don’t. A safety inspection turns “I think it’s fine” into a written, prioritized plan so you can fix what matters and stop worrying about the rest.

Renting it out?Document that the electrical is safe and compliant for your tenants and your insurer.
What an inspection covers

From the meter to the last outlet.

Whole-home safety inspection

A documented top-to-bottom check with a written report and a prioritized fix list — ideal before you buy, rent out, or renovate.

Knob-and-tube & aluminum remediation

We safely retire legacy wiring common in older Maine homes and bring circuits up to today’s standard.

Permits & inspections, handled

We pull the permit, coordinate the AHJ inspection, and hand you the paperwork — no chasing town hall.

Surge & storm protection

Whole-home surge protection and generator-ready service so Maine weather stops costing you electronics.

On the report

The red flags we look for first.

01
Aluminum branch wiring
Common in homes built 1965–1973. We check connections and recommend proven remediation, not a full rewire if it isn’t needed.
02
Ungrounded & two-prong outlets
We identify what’s actually grounded and add GFCI protection where a true ground isn’t practical.
03
Overloaded or undersized panels
Fuse boxes, double-tapped breakers, and panels packed past capacity — flagged with a clear upgrade path.
04
Missing AFCI / GFCI protection
Kitchens, baths, exteriors, and bedrooms checked against current code for the protection they should have.
05
Knob-and-tube & cloth wiring
Legacy wiring located and assessed — what’s safe to leave, what needs to go.
06
No surge protection
Whole-home surge devices recommended where sensitive electronics and heat pumps are at risk.
