ELECTRICAL INSPECTIONS
Brooklyn Electrical Safety Inspection
Electrical Inspections
Pros Electricians uphold the strictest standards, which include adhering to all regional and federal laws established by the National Electrical Code (NEC). Our standards protect our customers' investments by making sure their homes are as safe and dependable as possible. By adhering to the NEC, our electricians ensure that homeowners can sell their homes with little difficulty.
Electrical inspections are essential for homeowners who are buying, selling, or considering a new home to understand what they're getting into and make sure a home is safe. Homes that have recently undergone remodeling may still have outdated electrical systems with aging parts that are inconvenient to dangerous.
It's also important to keep in mind that because the NEC is constantly evolving, older homes may not comply with the most recent standards. A house might not be suitable for the demanding power needs of the typical family even though it complies with building codes. Every member of the family uses multiple laptops, smartphones, screens, and other devices, so having reliable power throughout the house is essential. An inspection will show you what you're working with.
Local governments and code enforcement boards conduct inspections to ensure that the minimum requirements specified in the code are being followed. All local and state codes are followed by Pros Electricians's highly skilled and certified technicians. Each of our Brooklyn electrician are specially trained to identify problems and take appropriate action to maintain your property.

Typical Electric Code Violations
Bathrooms
- Defective or insufficient GFCI protection
Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) are the electrical safety superheroes of the bathroom. When there is a ground fault, they quickly cut the power to prevent electric shocks. Therefore, ensure that your GFCI outlets are regularly tested and replaced if they aren't functioning properly.
- Insufficient Grounding
Any electrical accidents can be safely redirected into the ground, where they belong, with the aid of grounding. Your bathroom could become an electrical hazard location without proper grounding.
- Ineffective Wiring Techniques
Make sure your bathroom's wiring is neatly organized, adequately insulated, and installed by a qualified electrician to prevent this shocking scenario.
- Insufficient Clearance for Electrical Fixtures
Even though your bathroom may be small, your electrical fixtures shouldn't be crammed in there. Overheating may result from inadequate clearance around electrical fixtures. Make sure they have enough room for proper ventilation and cooling so you can enjoy your bathroom time without any unforeseen heat waves.
- Insufficient Ventilation Systems
In order to prevent the accumulation of moisture, which can cause mold growth and damage, proper ventilation is essential in bathrooms. Electrical codes can be broken by inadequate ventilation systems, including poorly installed or small fans. To maintain a healthy bathroom environment, a functioning ventilation system is crucial.
- Misconfigured Bathroom Fans' Wiring
To operate safely and effectively, bathroom fans must be wired properly. Inadequate wiring, such as using the incorrect gauge wire or making poor connections, can put people at risk for fire while also causing problems with fans.
Kitchens
Poor Grounding and Bonding
By providing a safe path for electrical currents, grounding helps prevent electrical shock. To avoid voltage differences, bonding makes sure that all metal parts, including those in plumbing fixtures and appliances, are connected to one another. A potential for fatal shocks can result from improper grounding and bonding.
- Inadequate Amperage and Overloaded Circuits
Excessive use of extension cords or overloading of circuits can result in overheating and electrical fires when too many appliances are plugged into a single outlet. Furthermore, low amperage, like using low-capacity wires for heavy-duty appliances, can harm the equipment and be dangerous.
- Appliances and electrical outlets placed incorrectly
Electrical shocks could occur if outlets are placed too close to a sink or other water source or lack proper grounding. The risk of fire is increased when appliances aren't installed at a safe distance from combustible materials like cabinets or curtains.
General Rooms
- Junction Boxes that are not compliant
Electrical connections must be protected by junction boxes. Lack of these boxes or improper installation may result in exposed wires, which raises the possibility of electrical shock and creates fire hazards.
- Uncovered Wiring
A serious infraction that creates a significant safety risk is exposed wiring. Accidental contact or damage to exposed wires can cause electrical shocks or fires. To avoid this risk, proper wiring installation, insulation, and concealment are necessary.
- Electrical boxes that are too crowded
When there are too many wires or cables crammed into a small space, electrical boxes become overcrowded. Damaged insulation, increased heat, and potential electrical problems can result from this. Electrical boxes need to be the right size and have enough room to accommodate the wires they contain.
- Damaged or loose outlets
Unsecure outlets can be harmful. If you're not careful, they can give you a shock in addition to sparking and starting fires.
