FAQs
-
Are your electricians licensed to perform home safety inspections in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Maine?
Yes. Our electricians hold all required licenses and certifications for NH, MA, and ME. We follow each state’s electrical code requirements and applicable licensing regulations.
-
Why Are Home Safety Inspections Important?
With more of our time being spent at home, increased demand on our electrical systems can lead to problems down the road, especially if they weren’t designed properly, to begin with. Older systems can be a bigger headache than just not giving us enough outlets for our devices.
Improper or non-existent surge protection and grounding can pose real hazards to the safety of your home, or at the very least, cause damage to your expensive electronics. Other common problems we discover are damaged wiring due to rodents or old knob and tube wiring that may have been hidden from view.
-
When Do You Need a Home Electrical Inspection in New Hampshire?
We recommend any new homeowner have a separate safety inspection performed by a licensed electrician when possible. If you currently have concerns about your home’s electricity but aren’t sure where to start, a safety inspection is a good place to build some foundational knowledge around what your home could be facing as potential issues.
As a general rule, any home built before the year 2000 should be inspected due to changes in building code and safety regulations, as well as common wear and tear that can occur in electrical systems installed before this date.

Signs a Home Needs an Electrical Safety Inspection
Even if you own a newer home, if it was built prior to the last decade there is a good chance you will benefit from a safety inspection. If you have had any issues with outlets not working properly, arcing at outlets, or frequent power surges are all signs of the need for an electrical safety inspection.

New Hampshire Home Electrical Safety Inspection Services
Our dedicated team of electricians perform a complete electrical safety inspection for all of our residential customers. We’ll start from the outside, checking your service coming into the home, and work our way along your home, checking each outlet and fixture for proper operation.
We’ll ensure things like water mains and gas piping are properly bonded and ground. Through a thorough inspection, you can gain the knowledge to understand what potential problems your home is facing and decide how you want to tackle your electrical improvements.
Often overlooked, most home inspections do not uncover potential flaws or issues with an electrical system other than the most visible problems. With many homes in New Hampshire being built before the turn of the century, our electrical systems are often a patchwork of new and old wiring. When we have problems, it is hard to know what we’re looking for.
This is why the electrical team at Heritage Home Service provides a top to bottom, whole-home electrical safety inspection so you can have the knowledge of potential problems facing your home, and make decisions that are right for you.

When my AC quit suddenly, Heritage came in a timely fashion and did an excellent job. The four gentlemen who helped me were professional and knowledgeable. Joe diagnosed the problem and was very thorough in explaining the cost of repair versus replacement. Bobby, Harrison and the electrician Liam did the replacement and were wonderful to work with. They explained the process carefully, answered all my questions and completed the job efficiently and quickly. I would certainly call the company again for any HVAC, plumbing or electrical needs. Thanks Heritage!

First time using Heritage, as two other plumbers I’ve used in the past gave me long lead times. Heritage answered my call personally, and scheduled me same day-amazing considering it was a Saturday! I had a leaking outdoor spigot, and given the drought, waiting a week to fix it was out of the question. The technician sent out, James Shallow, could not have been more professional, knowledgeable and personable. He showed up on time, did the job seamlessly and without issue. He spent time educating us as to how to avoid this problem in the future, and it was a genuinely pleasant experience. I will most definitely use & recommend Heritage again (request Jimmy).

Alex came to fix a water main leak at my home which was pre-manufactured in the late eighties. He found and fixed the leak quickly. After the job was complete I spoke with him about the cause because this is the third time in a year with a leak. He spent the time with me explaining the material used for piping in my place and checked the water pressure. The pressure was on the high end and we both concluded between pressure spikes and old plastic pipes. I asked for an estimate to replace all the pipes. He was able to give me an estimate on the spot and found financing with very reasonable terms. Two days later Heritage Home Services was here with two trucks and completely changed out the piping in a day. In short. This place answers the phone. Gets technician on the job quickly. Great knowledge. Cleaned thoroughly before leaving.

We called several plumbers and I got “we are too busy” and “it’s too small of a job”. Not with heritage though! They were able to get us on the schedule in a timely manner and helped us with our plumbing issue. Thank you Zach! Zach was quick and professional! Will definitely use again!

I’ve dealt with Heritage for many years because of their dependability. They are not the cheapest, for sure, but if you need a plumbing or HVAC system installed or serviced/repaired, there’s none better. I needed repairs to be done on slim duct covers that were damaged after having siding installed on my home. I called Heritage because they were the company that installed the original mini-split system in my house several years earlier. John Lindonen and another technician (unfortunately, I don’t remember his name) showed up as committed and did the repair work. They were very thorough, explaining every issue to me and answered all of my questions. They were polite, and extremely knowledgeable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these guys to my family or friends.

The AI interactive was ok but screwed up my ph# so never got a call. However, Camile arrived and spent time discussing my points and activities performed, helped me tremendously and ultimately didn’t need service. He was professional, informative, and transparent so Heritage, please acknowledge his great service!

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why do I need an electrical safety inspection for my New Hampshire home?
An electrical safety inspection identifies hidden hazards like outdated wiring, overloaded circuits, faulty connections, and code violations that could lead to fires or electrical shock. This is especially important in New Hampshire where many homes are older and may have aluminum wiring or outdated panels.
-
When should I schedule an electrical safety inspection?
You should schedule an inspection when buying or selling a home, after major renovations, if your home is over 25 years old, or if you notice warning signs like flickering lights, tripped breakers, or burning smells. Heritage recommends inspections every 3 to 5 years for ongoing safety.
-
What does Heritage check during an electrical safety inspection?
Heritage inspects your electrical panel, wiring, outlets, switches, GFCI and AFCI protection, grounding systems, and the overall condition of your electrical system. We also check for code compliance and identify any areas that may need repair or upgrading.
-
How long does an electrical safety inspection take?
A typical whole-home electrical safety inspection takes 1 to 3 hours depending on the size and age of your home. After the inspection, Heritage provides a detailed report of findings and recommendations for any necessary repairs or upgrades.
