What Is an Electrical Safety Inspection?

An electrical safety inspection is a detailed assessment of your electrical system, performed by a licensed electrician. At RyCo Electric, our inspections follow current NEC (National Electrical Code) guidelines and are tailored to local Utah regulations.

We evaluate your system’s health, identify safety concerns, and provide recommendations to bring everything up to code. Whether you're a homeowner, landlord, or business owner, our goal is to keep your property safe and functional.

​

When and Why You Should Schedule an Inspection

Not sure if it’s time for an inspection? Here are some of the most common reasons:

  • Buying or selling a home

  • Renovating or remodeling

  • Noticing flickering lights or breaker issues

  • Owning a home built before 1985

  • Managing rental properties or commercial spaces

  • Insurance or permit requirements

Electrical issues are one of the leading causes of house fires—don’t wait until it’s too late to uncover a hidden problem.

Common Issues Found During Inspections

You may not see a problem—but we often find issues hiding behind the walls. Common problems include:

  • Double-tapped or loose breakers

  • Overloaded circuits

  • Outdated or ungrounded wiring

  • Lack of GFCI/AFCI protection
