When Should You Get A Home Safety Inspection?
The short answer is whenever you’d like. If you feel you may be at risk, get the inspection.
Even if for no other reason you’d like this type of inspection for your own peace of mind, that’s a good enough reason. Some other good reasons include, but aren’t limited to:
- If the place you call home sweet home happens to be 40 or older, you owe it to yourself to stay current with inspections. Having an older home has its perks, historic homes certainly have plenty of charm. Yet, you don’t want to take unnecessary risks so use these electrical inspections to make certain your home is safeguarded.
- If you plan on doing any major renovations, it’s a good idea to make sure your home is ready to handle it. Once the work is completed, have another inspection carried out to be sure it’s in good shape.
- If you’re adding a major appliance, it’s a good idea to first determine if your home is up to the challenge. If it’s going to just blow fuses or put too much of a strain on your existing system, it’s a better idea to upgrade your electrical system and then add the new appliance.
