Home Electrical Inspections

A general home inspection often identifies electrical problems that should be evaluated and repaired by a licensed electrical contractor. Blue Sky Electric reviews home inspection reports and provides repairs for the electrical deficiencies identified during the purchase, sale, or insurance review of a property.

Common electrical findings in inspection reports

Common findings include open wiring splices in attics or crawl spaces, missing junction boxes, improperly protected wiring, incorrect wire sizes, damaged receptacles, missing GFCI protection, faulty switches, corroded panels, worn breakers, improper grounding, and electrical work that may have been completed by unqualified or unlicensed individuals.

Evaluating remodeled and mixed wiring systems

Kauaʻi has many homes that have been remodeled or added onto several times over the years. As a result, electrical systems may contain a combination of original wiring and later modifications. We are experienced in evaluating these conditions and separating minor repair items from more serious safety concerns.

Humidity, salt air, and aging equipment

Humidity, moisture, salt air, and age also contribute to the deterioration of receptacles, switches, breakers, lighting fixtures, and outdoor electrical equipment. Items that may still appear functional can be worn, corroded, or unreliable.

Clear estimates from reports and photos

In many cases, we can review the home inspector’s written report and photographs to prepare an initial estimate. Our goal is to help homeowners understand the findings, correct unsafe conditions, meet insurance requirements when necessary, and provide a dependable electrical system they can feel comfortable living with.
