New Installations
and Repairs
Are you looking to make a major change to your home’s electrical system? If so, you likely will need to arrange for a permit to complete the job.

This is where a professional inspection is a crucial part of your project.
You can trust our team of certified electricians to help you not only make sure the work is done right but that it is ready for inspection by government officials. We care about our customers and will do whatever it takes to help you.
What Happens During an Electrical Inspection?
Our certified electricians are trained to be thorough with every inspection they perform. As with any inspection, the process begins with a walk-through of your home or business to visually inspect the system and learn more about what it is tasked with each day. This includes looking at light fixtures, switches, outlets, and what appliances you have. The inspection also includes a thorough check of your panel and all components. We will compare your system to the Idaho Building Code and National Electrical Code to determine if there are any issues.
Some of the components that will be inspected include:
- Your main electrical panel
- All circuit breakers
- Individual circuits
- Your grounding system
- Your outlets and switches
- Dimmers
- Smoke detectors
- Interior lighting
- Porcelain light sockets
During your inspection, our technicians will make a note of anything they find that does not comply with current electrical codes or local building standards. If they find any components that are not up to code, we can arrange to have them replaced or repaired as needed. We will also do a safety check of all outlets and appliances.
When Do I Need an Electrical Inspection?
There are a number of reasons why you may need an electrical inspection. Some of the most common include:
- Moving into a new home
- Upgrading your electrical system
- Installing a hot tub or pool heater
- Repairing damage from an electrical fireYour grounding system

It’s also not a bad idea to schedule an electrical inspection every few years to make sure your home or business remains code-compliant and up to all current safety standards. Wear and tear can set in over time, and that could cause headaches if it were to cause something to go wrong. Make sure your lights stay on with quality services from Idahome Energy.
