What Is a Home Electrical Safety Inspection?

A home electrical safety inspection is a professional evaluation of your home’s wiring, electrical panels, outlets, circuits, and safety devices to confirm everything is functioning safely and up to current code standards.

Who Is It For: Homebuyers, home sellers, and current homeowners seeking peace of mind or preparing for a real estate transaction.

Typical Timeline: Most inspections take 2 to 4 hours on-site. You will receive a report overview before our electrician leaves your home, with a guaranteed PDF delivery within 24 hours.

Service Area: Central Florida, including Orlando, Lake Nona, Winter Park, Oviedo, Longwood, Clermont, and surrounding communities.

What's Included in a Home Electrical Safety Inspection

A home electrical safety inspection covers far more than a visual scan. Super Fast Electric’s certified electricians conduct a structured, code-referenced review of every major component in your home’s electrical system. Whether you are preparing to buy, sell, or simply want to know your home is safe, this inspection delivers a clear picture of where your system stands and what, if anything, requires attention.

What We Inspect

Every home electrical safety inspection by Super Fast Electric includes the following:

Main Electrical Panel Breaker condition, panel labeling, signs of overheating, double-tapped breakers, and capacity evaluation

Wiring Throughout the Home Identification of outdated wiring types (aluminum, knob-and-tube, cloth-wrapped), exposed wiring, improper splices, and code compliance

Outlets and Switches Verification of grounding, proper wiring orientation, and GFCI protection in all required locations (kitchens, bathrooms, garages, outdoors)

AFCI Protection Verification of Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter protection in bedrooms, living areas, and other NEC-required zones

Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors Placement, age, and operational status per current Florida building code

Ceiling Fans and Fixtures Proper box support, grounding, and wiring integrity

Exhaust Fans and Bathroom Ventilation Wiring safety and code compliance

Exterior Outlets and Service Entrance Weather protection, GFCI status, and service entrance condition

Subpanels (if present) Full evaluation matching main panel standards

Our Process — From Booking to Final Report

Before the visit

Schedule Your Inspection

Contact Super Fast Electric by phone or through our online form to book your home electrical safety inspection. We will confirm your appointment window and let you know what access we need on the day of the visit.

Inspection Day

On-Site Arrival and Initial Walkthrough

Our certified electrician arrives at your home, introduces themselves, and does a brief walkthrough with you. This gives us context about any known issues, recent renovations, or areas of concern you want prioritized.

Inspection Day

Full System Evaluation

We inspect every component covered in the scope above, from your main panel and subpanels to outlets, wiring, safety devices, and exterior service entrance. This is a hands-on, code-referenced evaluation, not a visual scan.

Same Day

Findings Review With the Homeowner

Before we leave, your electrician walks you through every finding. We explain what we observed, why it matters, and what the recommended next steps are. No jargon. No pressure. Just clear answers.

After the Visit

Written Report Delivery

You receive a digital PDF report — typically before our electrician leaves your home, and always within 24 hours. The report documents all findings, photographs where applicable, code references, and recommended repairs. It is suitable for sharing with realtors, lenders, insurance providers, or your own records.

Pre-Purchase Electrical Inspections

A pre-purchase electrical inspection is one of the most important due diligence steps a buyer can take, and one of the most frequently skipped. A standard home inspection covers electrical systems only at a surface level. A certified electrician goes further: inside the panel, behind the outlets, and through the wiring to verify what a general inspector simply cannot.

What a Pre-Purchase Electrical Inspection Reveals

In a typical pre-purchase electrical inspection, Super Fast Electric evaluates and reports on:

Panel brand, age, condition, and capacity relative to the home's demands

Presence and condition of whole-home grounding and bonding

Circuit breaker sizing relative to wire gauge (a mismatch is a fire hazard)

GFCI and AFCI protection presence in all required locations

Outlet grounding status throughout the home

Signs of DIY wiring or unpermitted electrical work

Evidence of pest damage, water intrusion, or heat damage in wiring or junction boxes

Meter socket and service entrance condition

Smoke and carbon monoxide detector placement per Florida code

What This Means for Your Transaction

The findings from a pre-purchase electrical inspection give buyers factual, documented leverage. A written report identifying a panel replacement, missing GFCI protection, or unpermitted wiring work can be used in negotiations, included in a repair request addendum, or simply used to set a realistic repair budget before closing. Sellers also benefit: ordering a certified electrical inspection before listing provides documentation that reduces buyer uncertainty and can support a stronger asking price.

Client Story

The Oviedo Pre-Purchase Inspection That Caught What the General Inspector Missed

We recently had a buyer under contract on a home in Oviedo, Florida, reach out to us regarding an electrical inspection. The buyer had already completed a general home inspection and the report came back mostly clean — just a few minor flags including non-working GFCI outlets and smoke detectors that needed verification, however, the buyer wanted to check all their bases so they reached out to us.

Our licensed electricians confirmed the GFCI and smoke detector issues the general inspector had noted, but we also discovered something the general inspection had missed entirely: significant overheating damage to the main breaker panel. Despite the home being only about 12 years old, the panel had sustained enough thermal damage that it required full replacement before the new owners moved in — a critical safety issue that would otherwise have become the buyer’s problem after closing.

This is the difference a certified electrical inspection makes. A general home inspector reports what they can see. A licensed electrician evaluates the system as a whole.

Fantastic Company! Patty did an amazing job at scheduling and getting into contact with me. Carlos Rentas went over the work we asked for and showed us everything that needed to be done with several option. will definitely call back for any electric job!

Carlos spent two hours with us doing an inspection going over the things we were concerned about in our home.

We felt like he was very knowledgeable and that he went above and beyond to help us. We will definitely choose Super Fast Electric to address our issues in our home.

The service provided today by Carlos Rentas of Super Fast Electric today was absolutely fantastic. He arrived in the early part of the communicated arrival window. He was very courteous and professional, provided an excellent service and took the time to explain everything that he was doing. Absolutely will use them for all electrical needs in our house.

Steve came out and did an amazing job hooking up my ONT to my whole house battery backup system. He was quick, neat, and also super friendly and personable to boot. Based on my experience with him, I definitely would recommend Super Fast (ask for Steve!) to anyone looking to have electrical work done.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a home electrical safety inspection include?

A home electrical safety inspection from Super Fast Electric includes a full evaluation of your main electrical panel, all visible wiring, outlets, switches, GFCI and AFCI protection, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, ceiling fixtures, and exterior service entrance. We provide a written findings report and walk through all findings with you before we leave.

How much does an electrical inspection cost in Central Florida?

A home electrical safety inspection from Super Fast Electric starts at $197. This base price covers approximately 90% of homes, including standard single-family homes, condos, and apartments. Homes over 3,500 square feet move into a higher pricing tier due to the additional panels, outlets, and circuits requiring evaluation. Contact us for a quote specific to your home.

How long does a home electrical inspection take?

A standard home electrical safety inspection takes 2 to 4 hours on-site, depending on home size, age, and the number of panels and subpanels included. You typically receive your digital PDF report before our electrician leaves your home, with a 24-hour delivery guarantee in all cases.

What is a pre-purchase electrical inspection and why do I need one?

A pre-purchase electrical inspection is a certified, in-depth evaluation of a home’s electrical system performed before the sale closes. Unlike a general home inspection, a licensed electrician opens the panel, tests every outlet and circuit protection device, and evaluates wiring type and condition throughout the home. For buyers in Central Florida, it is one of the most important due diligence steps available because electrical repairs can be expensive and general inspectors do not evaluate electrical systems to this level of depth.

Does a home electrical inspection meet lender or insurance requirements?

It depends on what’s being requested. Florida homeowners insurance on homes 25+ years old typically requires a 4-point inspection (roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC), which is a separate product from a home electrical safety inspection.

When a lender, appraiser, or insurer flags a specific electrical concern like an outdated panel, aluminum wiring, or a code violation, they usually require documentation from a licensed electrical contractor. Super Fast Electric is a Florida-licensed electrical contractor (License #EC13013514), and our PDF reports include what lenders and insurers commonly request: a licensed contractor’s evaluation, photographs, code references, identified hazards, and recommended repairs.

If your lender or insurer has a specific form, contact us before your inspection to confirm we can complete it.

What is a certified electrical inspection?

A certified electrical inspection is one performed by a licensed electrical contractor evaluating the home against current code standards. Super Fast Electric is a Florida-licensed and certified electrical contracting company (License #EC13013514). Our inspections are performed by service electricians with 11+ years of experience, led by Owner and General Manager Steve O’Toole, a Florida-licensed Master Electrician. Every inspection follows a documented protocol and concludes with a formal written PDF report.

What happens if the inspection finds something wrong?

If your inspection uncovers code violations, hazardous conditions, or outdated components, your electrician will walk you through every finding the same day. We will explain the severity, the recommended repair, and provide a quote for any corrective work. There is no obligation to proceed with repairs through Super Fast Electric.

Do you inspect older homes in Central Florida?

Yes. Older homes are frequently our most important inspections. Homes built before 1985 in the Orlando area may contain aluminum wiring, older panel brands with documented safety histories, or wiring types that are no longer code-compliant. Our electricians are specifically trained to identify and evaluate these conditions.

How soon can I schedule a home electrical inspection?

Standard residential inspections are typically scheduled within three business days. For homebuyers facing tight closing timelines, we offer an emergency same-day option with a 12-hour turnaround (an additional emergency fee applies). Contact us through our online quote form or by phone to confirm current availability in your area.

Is Super Fast Electric licensed and insured?

Yes. Super Fast Electric is a fully licensed and insured Florida electrical contractor — License #EC13013514 — operating throughout the Orlando metro and Central Florida region.

What is the difference between a home electrical inspection and a code compliance inspection?

A home electrical inspection evaluates your system for safety, functionality, and code compliance but is performed at your request and for your benefit. A code compliance inspection is typically ordered by a municipality in connection with a permitted project.

Can a home electrical inspection affect my homeowners insurance?

In some cases, yes. Insurance carriers may require an inspection before issuing or renewing a policy on an older home, and findings from a certified inspection may affect your coverage terms or premiums. Some insurers also offer premium reductions for homes with updated electrical systems.
