Your home’s electrical system works silently in the background, but hidden problems can pose serious risks to your property and family. Over time, wiring can degrade, connections can loosen, and safety standards can change. Newman Electric provides thorough Residential Electrical Safety Inspections for homeowners in Vancouver, WA, and throughout Clark, Cowlitz, and Skamania Counties, giving you a clear picture of your system’s health and your family peace of mind.
Whether you’re buying a new home, living in an older one, or simply want to ensure everything is in safe working order, our licensed electricians are here to help you identify and address potential electrical hazards before they become emergencies.
For Your Family’s Safety & Peace of Mind: This is the most important reason. An inspection can uncover hidden fire and shock hazards, such as faulty wiring, overloaded circuits, or failing breakers, allowing you to correct them before an accident occurs.
For Insurance or Permitting Requirements: Some insurance companies may require an electrical inspection on older homes to maintain coverage. It’s also a crucial step before undertaking a major renovation to assess your system’s capacity.
To Prevent Future Problems: Identifying minor issues, like loose connections or outdated smoke detectors, can prevent them from turning into major, more expensive problems down the road.
When Buying or Selling a Home: A standard home inspection provides a general overview, but a dedicated electrical inspection by a licensed electrician offers a much deeper analysis. For buyers, it uncovers potential costly repairs. For sellers, it can identify issues to fix beforehand, ensuring a smoother transaction.
For Older Homes: If your home was built more than 30 years ago, its electrical system may not be equipped to handle modern demands. We can identify outdated components like ungrounded outlets, knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, and obsolete electrical panels (e.g., Zinsco, Federal Pacific) that may need upgrading.

Our licensed Vancouver, WA residential electricians perform a comprehensive, multi-point visual inspection of your home’s electrical system. We look for the common and uncommon issues that can compromise your safety:
Main Electrical Panel & Breakers: We inspect your main service panel for signs of overheating, corrosion, proper breaker sizing, and correct wiring connections. We also identify any outdated or recalled panel brands known for safety issues.
Wiring & Connections: We check the visible wiring in your attic, basement, or crawlspace for proper installation, signs of damage, degradation, or outdated materials.
Outlets & Switches: We spot-check receptacles and switches for proper wiring, grounding, and functionality. We verify the presence of life-saving GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) and AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) protection where required by modern safety codes.
Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detectors: We check the age, placement, and functionality of your smoke and CO detectors to ensure they meet current safety standards and provide reliable protection.
Grounding & Bonding System: We verify that your home’s electrical system is properly grounded, which is a critical safety feature that protects against electrical shock.
Exterior Electrical Components: We inspect your outdoor outlets, visible service lines, and meter base for weather-related damage, proper sealing, and safe operation.
