Electrical Insurance Inspection

If you are a home or business owner, one of your main concerns is likely the safety of your building. When it comes to keeping a safe space for your family, friends, staff and colleagues, it is recommended to have regular electrical safety checks. For any electrical work – commercial or residential – we recommend having one of our licensed, bonded, and insured electricians perform regulatory electrical safety checks. From qualifying the property’s electrical system and inspecting its condition to looking for code breaches, fire hazards, and more, our experienced electrical inspectors can work to improve your system and reduce the cost of your insurance premiums.

Any building that is being insured will require an electrical insurance inspection. With an increase in the number of fires caused by electrical hazards, the standards for electrical safety have become stricter in recent years. As such, insurance companies are requiring commercial and home electrical insurance inspections before granting any policies. Typically, any building owner who fails to have regulatory electrical safety checks conducted are liable to pay 3-5 times more for insurance. To help you save money and increase the safety of your building, our experienced electrical inspectors are here to help.

The benefit of having a commercial and/or home electrical inspection is that it ensures the electrical components of your building are operating safely. From overloaded electrical panels to outdated wiring, deteriorated electrical components, and oversized fuses, we can identify any areas of concern to minimize electrical risks.

Professional electrical safety checks can also save you money in more way than one. For starters, you will benefit from the lower insurance premium costs. Additionally, BC electrical safety inspections can reduce your energy usage, resulting in a lower electrical bill each month.

Lastly, you will have the peace of mind knowing that your building meets electrical safety standards. Your risk of experiencing electrical issues and fires is minimized, improving the wellbeing of everyone in your building.
