Home Electrical Inspection in Morris County, NJ

A general home inspector opens the panel, looks for obvious problems, and often writes that the system should be evaluated by a licensed electrician. That is the point at which homeowners call us. Trapani Electric inspects homes across Morris, Passaic, Essex, Bergen, and Union Counties for buyers who want to know what they are purchasing, for sellers who want to correct problems before they are flagged, and for homeowners who have recently bought an older house and want a clear answer about the wiring.

The inspection covers the service and panel, grounding and bonding, the type and condition of the branch wiring, outlets and GFCI protection, smoke and CO detectors, and any work a previous owner did themselves. You receive a plain-language summary of what is a safety issue, what is a code item that matters only at the time of sale, and what can be left alone.

The inspection covers the following:

• Service size, meter, and panel condition, including recalled panel brands
• Grounding and bonding at the panel and water main
• Wiring type: knob and tube, cloth, aluminum, or modern copper
• Outlets tested for polarity, ground, and GFCI where code requires it
• Smoke and CO detector placement and interconnection for NJ sale requirements
• Attic, basement, and garage wiring, where DIY work is usually found

If you already have the general inspector's report, send it to us and we will focus on the items they flagged.
