Wiring ages quietly. Insulation dries out, connections loosen with decades of heating and cooling, and additions made by past owners are not always done right. An inspection catches these before they become a failed sale, an insurance problem or a fire. We look at service size, panel condition, breaker and wire matching, grounding and bonding, GFCI and AFCI protection, visible wiring in the basement and attic, and smoke and CO alarms. You get priorities, not a sales pitch: what needs attention now, what can wait and what is simply good to know.
Across Milwaukee County and the rest of southeastern Wisconsin, storms off Lake Michigan and summer heat both test an electrical system. Air conditioners push old panels to their limit in July, and wind brings down service lines in spring and fall. Our electricians know the mix of older city wiring and newer suburban construction found around Whitefish Bay.
We provide electrical inspections throughout Whitefish Bay and in nearby Shorewood, Glendale and Fox Point.

Common questions about electrical inspections in Whitefish Bay
How long does an electrical inspection take?
Most homes take one to two hours. Larger or older properties with several panels or outbuildings take longer.

No. Permit inspections are done by the local or state inspector for specific permitted work. Ours is a condition inspection of the whole system for your own information.
Will you fix what you find?
Yes, if you want us to. Every finding comes with an upfront price, and you choose what to do and when.
