Home Electrical Inspections in Dallas
A licensed electrician’s look at your panel, wiring and safety devices, for homes in Dallas, Crandall and across the DFW metroplex.
Know What Is Behind Your Walls
An electrical inspection from A to Z Electric is a licensed electrician’s check of your home’s electrical system: the panel and breakers, grounding and bonding, GFCI and AFCI protection, outlets and switches, visible wiring and the signs of overheating that come before a failure. We walk you through what we find and what should be fixed first.
It is different from the city inspection that follows permitted work and from a general home inspection. A home inspector looks at the whole house; we look closely at the electrical system and can quote any repair it finds.
Safety inspections are on our service list for homeowners, buyers, sellers and landlords. To see what a visit involves, read what happens during an electrical inspection.

What We Check
The parts of the system that cause most failures, shocks and fires.
Panel and Breakers
Panel condition, breaker sizing, double-tapped breakers, rust, heat damage, and panels from makers with a poor safety record such as Federal Pacific and Zinsco.
Grounding and Bonding
The grounding electrode, bonding of water and gas lines, and three-prong outlets that are not actually grounded.
GFCI and AFCI Protection
Shock protection in kitchens, baths, garages and outdoors, and arc-fault protection where it applies.
Outlets, Switches and Fixtures
Loose, warm, scorched or reversed-polarity outlets and switches, and fixtures with heat damage.
Wiring Condition
Visible wiring in the attic, garage and panel, including older cloth or aluminum wiring and do-it-yourself additions.
Capacity for What You Plan
Whether the service can handle an EV charger, a generator, a pool or a remodel before you commit.
Who Should Book an Electrical Inspection
- Home buyers and sellers. Know the condition of the electrical system before closing, or fix problems before they show up on a buyer’s report.
- Owners of older homes. Original panels, two-prong outlets and aging wiring are worth a closer look. Our rewiring and panel upgrade pages explain the fixes.
- Homeowners planning a big addition. An EV charger, generator, pool or remodel adds load. Check capacity first.
- Landlords between tenants. A check before a new lease catches loose outlets, missing GFCI protection and overloaded circuits.
- Anyone with warning signs. Flickering lights, warm outlets, buzzing or breakers that trip often.

Electrical Inspection Questions
How much does an electrical inspection cost?
It depends on the size and age of the home, the number of panels and how deep the inspection needs to go. You know the price up front, and any repairs are quoted before work begins.
How long does a home electrical inspection take?
It depends on the size of the home and how many panels and circuits it has. We give you an idea of the time when you book.
Is this the same as a home inspection?
No. A general home inspector looks at the whole house. A licensed electrician looks closely at the electrical system, can open the panel and can quote the repairs.
Do you inspect rental properties?
Yes. Safety inspections are on our service list, and we walk the owner through what we find and what should be fixed first.
Do you inspect commercial buildings?
Yes. Our commercial electrical service includes property-wide electrical inspections.
