Fixing Code Violations Quickly and Correctly
Our electrical inspection and repair process can extend to a specific component or to an electrical system. A licensed electrician will inspect every aspect of your system and itemize all the violations we come across. We’ll provide you with a detailed report, and we can answer questions, explore code violation fixes, and so forth.
We can do basic maintenance. This includes relabeling your electrical panel and tightening connections. If you need more expensive repairs, we can help you plan those to maximize your budget and meet any deadlines.
In older houses and buildings, it’s not unusual to have to update an outmoded electrical panel. We can replace older wiring, such as K&T and aluminum. Our electricians can add circuits as needed and, if necessary, do so via a subpanel installation. We can upgrade fuses to circuit breakers and replace worn breakers. Our electricians can also add surge protection to your existing electrical panel.
We perform code-compliance reviews for many electrical systems:
- Wiring
- Generators
- Electrical panels
- Surge protection
- GFCI and AFCI protection
- Home automation devices
- Indoor and outdoor lighting
- Outlets, switches, and dimmers
- Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
Safety-First Electrical Upgrades to Meet Standards
Among the most important code corrections in modern living spaces are ground- and arc-fault circuit interrupters (GFCI, AFCI). GFCI outlets help to prevent injuries and even deaths in bathrooms, kitchens, and other areas where water is present. AFCI outlets help to stop electrical fires. You can also find combination GFCI-AFCI outlets.
Another important electrical upgrade we often make is surge protection. When an internal or external surge occurs, a Type 2 surge protector will route that power into the ground. We install Type 1 devices. They offer strong protection against direct lightning strikes and unusual grid power. Our electricians also install outlets with integrated Type 3 protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you need an electrical inspection and repairs, you may have some questions. Here we explore answers to a couple of the most common questions about code corrections.
What are the most common electrical code violations?
The most common violation is the absence of proper labeling on the electrical panel. Another prevalent issue is not having GFCI and/or AFCI outlets in the appropriate rooms.
In older houses, it’s common to have outdated wiring and overloaded circuits. In newer houses, a common issue is not having whole-house surge protection installed.
Do you work with home inspectors on code corrections?
Our electricians have a deep understanding of the local building codes in the region. We usually find and fix any issues with electrical code compliance before third-party inspections.
That said, we can be there during a home inspection and work with the inspector to remedy any code compliance issues. We can also perform a code violation fix after the fact, based on the home inspection report.
