Don't Panic Over the Report

Most electrical findings are straightforward to correct.

Inspection reports can read like a long list of problems. Many electrical items, like a missing GFCI, an open junction box, or a loose receptacle, are quick, routine corrections.

Others, like improper grounding or an older panel, take more work. Either way, we explain what each item is, why it matters, and what it takes to fix, so you can make decisions with confidence.

What We Correct

Common electrical items we fix.

From a single item to a full page of findings, we focus on the electrical work on your list.

Home Inspection Reports

Electrical items called out during a home purchase or sale, reviewed and corrected item by item.

City & County Inspections

Electrical correction notes from a failed or partial inspection, completed so the work is ready for re-inspection.

Insurance Requests

Electrical items an insurance company asked you to address, such as older panels or unsafe wiring.

GFCI & Receptacle Corrections

Missing GFCI protection, reversed polarity, loose or damaged receptacles, and missing cover plates.

Panel & Grounding Corrections

Double-tapped breakers, improper grounding or bonding, and older panels flagged as a concern.

Unsafe or Improper Wiring

Open splices, missing junction box covers, exposed wiring, and other work that was not done correctly.

Older Panel Flagged?

Some findings point to a bigger upgrade.

If the report flags an older panel, such as a Zinsco or Federal Pacific, or a service that is undersized for the home, the right fix may be a panel replacement or service upgrade.

Common Questions

Inspection correction FAQs.

Can you fix the electrical items on my home inspection report?

Yes. Send us the report, or just the electrical section, along with photos if you have them. We review each item, explain what it means in plain language, and give you a clear plan to correct the electrical items.

Do you handle corrections from a city or county electrical inspection?

Yes. If an inspector left correction notes on a project, we can review the notes and complete the electrical corrections so the work is ready for re-inspection.

I'm buying or selling a home and have a deadline. Can you help?

Tell us your deadline when you send the report. We schedule based on availability and the scope of the corrections, and we will be upfront about timing before you commit.

Do you only fix the electrical items?

Yes. Surge Electric is an electrical contractor, so we correct electrical items such as missing GFCI protection, open junction boxes, double-tapped breakers, improper grounding, and damaged or unsafe wiring. Non-electrical items should go to the appropriate trade.

What if the corrections need a permit?

If a correction requires a permit, we will tell you before the work starts so there are no surprises.

How much do inspection corrections cost?

It depends on how many items there are, what they are, and how accessible the work is. Sending the report and a few photos lets us give you a more accurate estimate before scheduling.
