About
What an electrical inspection checks
An electrical inspection reviews the parts that carry, control, and deliver power. We look at the service panel, breakers, visible wiring, grounding connections, outlets, switches, and accessible fixtures. The reason for the inspection shapes the scope. A home sale, lease decision, repeated breaker trip, panel concern, or post-repair check may each call for a different review. We start with the reported symptoms and property use. Then we inspect related circuits, identify visible hazards, and explain what needs repair or further testing. An inspection can guide a repair decision, but it doesn’t replace every repair or installation step.

How we inspect your electrical system
Inspect panels and visible wiring
We examine the service panel, breakers, visible conductors, outlets, switches, and accessible connections for damage or unsafe conditions.
Trace the affected circuit
When a symptom points to one circuit, we trace its path and check connected loads, devices, and signs of overheating.
Explain findings and options
We explain what we found, which repairs or upgrades matter, and what work can be planned next. Free estimates are available.
What to prepare before an electrical inspection
A few details can help us size the inspection around the property and its main concern.
- List the symptoms, including flickering lights, dead outlets, or repeated breaker trips.
- Identify which rooms, circuits, or equipment show the problem.
- Keep access clear to the electrical panel and affected outlets.
- Share the reason for the inspection, such as a sale, lease, repair concern, or upgrade decision.

Questions about electrical inspection scope
Who provides electrical inspection in Fort Wayne?
Chris Miller Electric provides electrical inspection for homes and businesses in Fort Wayne. We review panels, circuits, wiring, outlets, and visible safety concerns. The inspection scope follows the property type and the reason for the visit. We then explain needed repairs, upgrades, or further testing in plain language.
What does an electrical inspection include?
An electrical inspection includes a review of the service panel, breakers, visible wiring, outlets, switches, grounding parts, and reported symptoms. We focus on accessible areas tied to the inspection purpose. Findings can support repair planning, property decisions, or follow-up testing.
What can cause a breaker to keep tripping?
A tripping breaker can result from circuit overload, damaged wiring, a faulty device, or a panel concern. We trace the affected circuit and inspect connected loads before recommending work. Repeated resets can hide the cause, so stop using the circuit if it shows heat, smoke, or burning odors.
What changes the cost of an electrical inspection?
The inspection cost depends on property size, system access, the number of affected circuits, and the reason for the review. A focused symptom check differs from a broader property assessment. We review the job details and provide a free estimate before planned work.
Can an inspection check electrical work after repairs?
Yes, an inspection can review accessible parts of a repaired circuit and identify visible concerns that remain. We assess the affected panel, wiring, devices, and connections. The review does not replace every required test, permit step, or official inspection tied to a specific project.
What should I do before an electrical inspection?
Clear access to the panel and affected outlets, then record the symptoms and rooms involved. Keep away from sparking outlets, hot switches, smoke, or burning odors. We use the details you share to focus the inspection and explain the next repair or testing step.

Scenarios
When Customers Call Us About Electrical Inspection
1
Repeated Breaker Trips
A breaker that trips again after reset needs more than repeated resets. The cause may involve circuit load, damaged wiring, or a connected device. We inspect the panel and trace the affected circuit, then explain the repair path. Turn off equipment tied to the circuit if you notice heat, smoke, buzzing, or a burning smell.
2
Inspection Before Property Changes
A homeowner or business owner may need an electrical review before adding circuits, lighting, equipment, or other upgrades. The panel and existing wiring determine what the system can support. We inspect the current layout, identify capacity concerns, and explain which improvements should be planned together.
3
Safety Check After Electrical Work
A property owner may want an inspection after repairs or changes to confirm that visible connections and affected circuits are in suitable condition. The review focuses on the work area and related electrical parts. We assess the system, note concerns, and explain any follow-up repair or testing that remains.

Electrical TroubleshootingPersistent flickering, dead circuits, and unexplained breaker trips make daily life frustrating. We test voltage, trace circuit faults, and identify the cause instead of replacing parts without answers.
Electrical Wiring RepairDamaged cable or loose connections can leave rooms unreliable and create heat behind walls. We repair accessible wiring, replace faulty connections, and check circuit operation before returning the area to service.
