Massachusetts Home Safety Inspections | JustCallHeritage.com

Many homes across Massachusetts were built before the turn of the century. While many of us have made do without modern conveniences like whole home surge protection or a plethora of outlets, having a jumbled mess of extension cords behind the furniture is just the start of our problems. Breakers that keep tripping, arcing from outlets, and old knob and tube wiring are common problems when assessing the quality and safety of electrical systems in New England.

Our team of fully licensed electricians are here to help you with a whole-home electrical safety inspection, so you can have peace of mind knowing your electricity is providing you the maximum protection against things like electrical fires, damaged devices due to power surging, and more.

FAQs

  • Home Safety Inspection Services in Massachusetts

    Our dedicated team of electricians provide an electrical safety inspection for all our residential Massachusetts customers. We’ll come to your home and start from the outside, making our way inside from top to bottom, ensuring that every square inch of electrical components are tested and checked for safety. Our electricians will provide you with a comprehensive inspection report on their findings and make suggestions of repairs that may be needed in the future, so you can feel confident in making the decisions that are right for your home.

  • Do Home Electrical Safety Inspections Make a Difference?

    Even if you had your home inspected during purchase, home inspectors only look for the basics as they have many other things to focus on when inspecting your home. A dedicated electrical safety inspection performed by a licensed electrician will help catch issues with your home’s electrical systems that may have been overlooked, such as hidden knob and tube wiring, improper bonding and grounding of water mains and gas lines, and issues that can lead to arc faults and short circuits.

  • Why You Might Need a Home Safety Inspection

    While the best time to get a safety inspection is before you purchase a home, they can truly benefit anyone whose home was built before the year 2000. Even for electrical systems, wear and tear can occur, especially on outlets and frequently used light fixtures. Building codes and safety standards have also substantially changed in the last decade to reflect modern use requirements. If you’re concerned about your home’s electrical safety or simply want more information about your electrical system, a safety inspection with a licensed provider like Heritage Home Service is a good place to start.

We’ve lived in our 100 year old house for nearly 25 years. During that time, as expected, we have had our share of urgent plumbing issues that needed repairs. This past weekend, we had a larger issue that really was an emergency situation. Jordan came on Sunday to assess the issue, helped remediate it to make the leak slow down until Monday, at which time he and his colleague Taevon came back during the time they scheduled in the morning, and diligently worked to replace large sections of pipe in our basement. They were courteous, professional, and were clearly motivated to finish the work. They went above and beyond expectations, and because of them, I will absolutely not hesitate to call them for the next projects that are coming. Finally, the price was very fair and they didn’t charge any emergency or off hours fees for coming on Sunday and completing the work during a holiday on Monday. When you have a tough situation on a weekend, finding a great plumber is a tough task. We are thrilled this worked out the way it did. Best plumbing experience I’ve had. Thank you!!!

We’ve had Heritage do jobs for us across 2 different homes. Central air installation, furnace replacement, and electrical panel replacement. Everyone we’ve ever talked to or has come to our home to do work have been great and professional people. Always clean work and never make you feel like you’re paying for things you don’t need. They always prove their main goal is to give the customer what they want, what they need, and that the work is done correctly. Great financing options as well. We recommend Heritage to friends and family and will probably never go elsewhere for any future work we might need.

Heritage is amazing and extremely professional. They keep you updated on arrival time and send a photo of the technician coming to your home. Derek fixed the leak in the basement, replaced plumbing under the kitchen sink and replaced our leaky tub spout. Derek and his assistant were very professional and courteous. The materials used are fantastic quality. They left our home spotless where they did their work. Very happy with everything , highly recommend Heritage.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • When should I schedule an electrical safety inspection for my Massachusetts home?

    You should schedule an inspection if your home is more than 25 years old, you are buying or selling a property, you’ve experienced frequent breaker trips or flickering lights, or you are planning a major renovation. Heritage also recommends inspections after any storm damage or if you have an older fuse panel.

  • What does an electrical safety inspection include?

    A Heritage electrical safety inspection covers your main electrical panel, wiring condition, grounding and bonding, GFCI and AFCI protection, outlet and switch integrity, and compliance with current Massachusetts electrical codes. You receive a detailed report of findings along with prioritized recommendations for any needed repairs.

  • How long does an electrical safety inspection take?

    A typical residential electrical safety inspection takes between one and three hours depending on the size and age of your home. Larger homes or properties with known electrical issues may require additional time for a thorough evaluation.

  • Is an electrical inspection required when selling a home in Massachusetts?

    While Massachusetts does not mandate an electrical inspection for every home sale, most buyers’ home inspectors will flag visible electrical concerns, and lenders may require corrections. A proactive inspection by Heritage can identify and resolve issues before they become obstacles during the sales process.

  • What are the most common electrical problems found in older Massachusetts homes?

    Common issues include outdated knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, undersized electrical panels, lack of grounding, missing GFCI outlets in kitchens and bathrooms, and overloaded circuits. Heritage can identify all of these hazards during an inspection and provide a clear plan to bring your home up to current safety standards.
