Contact Dan Wilcox Electric Today!
We're fully licensed and certified electrical inspectors, providing comprehensive electrical inspection services throughout the Lower Mainland of British Columbia.
In British Columbia and the rest of Canada, the Safety Standard Act applies to anyone who installs, alters, maintains, or operates electrical equipment. The CEC (Canadian Electrical Code) sets the standards for electrical work.
As a fully licensed electrician company in the Fraser Valley, we not only have electrical safety inspection services, but also provide a detailed report on what needs immediate attention, offer you recommendations for future improvements, and we'll even suggest upgrade options that will reduce your electric bill. Our experienced electric inspectors ensure your electrical system meets all safety codes and regulations.
What Are The Benefits Of Electric Inspections?
The primary purpose of a residential electrical inspection is to ensure that all electrical components are safe for use. Our certified electrical inspectors conduct thorough safety assessments.
An electric inspection can highlight areas in the electrical wiring and components that are unsafe and need correcting, such as:
- Deteriorated electrical components.
- Outdated aluminum or knob tube wiring.
- Mistakes made by DIY homeowners or previous electrical contractors.
Our electric inspectors identify these issues, allowing for quick corrections and prevention of fire and safety hazards for you and your family further down the road.
Furthermore, electric inspection services can help you cut down on your energy bill and could even reduce your premiums for home insurance. Dan Wilcox Electric will also give you peace of mind knowing your home is safe and not at risk of an electrical fire.
And safety is something you can't put a price tag on, can you?
When do you need Electrical Safety Inspections services?
- If you're purchasing a new home, it's generally advised to conduct an electrical inspection to ensure the wiring is safe and up to code. Our electrician team helps eliminate any unpleasant surprises down the road if any electrical issues get overlooked. What's more, if any electrical problems are found, your realtor could even negotiate a lower price on the property.
- And if you're planning to sell a factory-made manufactured/mobile home without a CSA label, you need an electric inspection to get a Silver Label. Our electricians can perform a thorough inspection and certify it, making it easier to sell.
- A Silver Label is an electrical recertification of your mobile home. If you lost your CSA label or it fell off, you need to recertify it by hiring qualified electric inspectors to go over and approve the structure.
- If you're planning on converting your basement into a secondary suite, you need an electric inspection before doing any work. Without certification, you won't be able to sign up for a loan from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.
