Certified Electrical Safety Inspections in Calgary, AB

Electricians are trained to observe and test every part of your home’s electrical system during an inspection. Inspections can be comprehensive and can examine some of the following electrical components:

• Circuit demand & capacity
• GFCI & AFCI protection
• Electrical boxes
• Main electrical panel
• Electrical wiring
• Circuit labelling
• Surge protection

The time it takes a certified electrician to inspect and sign off on electrical work depends on the project size and workmanship quality. The size of your property and the scope of an inspection can be discussed during your initial call.

Our specialist at 4-Star Electric will tell you how to prepare for an electrical inspection to keep it as timely as possible.

When a home undergoes major renovations, like adding a new room, 2 electrical inspections are required. The first inspection takes place before drywall and finishings are placed. Electrical cables and boxes are exposed in the framing. This is called the rough-in inspection.

Once you get the go-ahead, construction can continue. A final electrical inspection will be necessary once the project is complete. This must be done before the area is used or lived in.

New home construction also requires 2 electrical inspections.
