Home Electrical Inspections

An electrical inspection is the smartest few hundred dollars a Denver homeowner can spend, because it catches the small problems that become house fires, failed home sales, and surprise repair bills. Denver Power Electric performs detailed, top-to-bottom inspections of your home's wiring, panel, grounding, and devices, then hands you a plain-English report on exactly what is safe, what needs attention, and what can wait. No scare tactics, no upselling, just a clear picture from a licensed master electrician.

Denver's housing stock makes inspections especially valuable. The older homes in neighborhoods like Congress Park, Sloan's Lake, and Park Hill frequently hide knob-and-tube wiring, ungrounded two-prong outlets, aluminum branch wiring from the 1960s and 70s, and undersized 60- or 100-amp panels that cannot keep up with modern living. Meanwhile, finished basements and DIY additions across the metro often contain wiring that was never permitted or inspected. We find these issues before they find you.

A typical inspection covers:

  • Main and sub electrical panels, breakers, and grounding
  • Branch wiring condition, including knob-and-tube and aluminum
  • Outlets, switches, GFCI and AFCI protection
  • Proper surge protection and bonding
  • Smoke and CO detector presence, placement, and age
  • Visible code violations and fire-risk conditions

You should book an inspection when you are buying or selling a home, before a major remodel or basement finish, after a power surge or electrical scare, or simply when your home is 30-plus years old and has never been checked. Buyers in particular benefit from a dedicated electrical inspection, since a general home inspector rarely opens the panel or tests circuits the way a master electrician does. If we uncover problems, we can scope the fix, whether that is a panel upgrade, targeted rewiring, or simple outlet corrections.

Every inspection ends with a written report you can actually use, including photos, a prioritized list of findings, and flat-rate pricing for any recommended work, with zero obligation to hire us. We have inspected homes across Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Arvada, and the surrounding suburbs since 2009, we carry CO Master Electrician License #ME.0047213, and we are fully insured. If your home checks out clean, we will tell you that too, because an honest all-clear is worth every penny. Schedule your inspection and buy, sell, or simply sleep with confidence.

Frequently asked

How much does a home electrical inspection cost in Denver?

A standard residential electrical inspection in the Denver area typically runs $150 to $350 depending on the size and age of the home. Larger homes with detached structures or extensive finished basements sit at the higher end. You receive a written report with photos and prioritized findings, and there is never any obligation to hire us for repairs.

Should I get an electrical inspection before buying an older Denver home?

Yes, absolutely. General home inspectors usually do not open the panel or test circuits the way a master electrician does. In neighborhoods with pre-1970 homes, an electrical inspection often reveals knob-and-tube wiring, ungrounded outlets, or undersized panels that can affect your offer, your insurance, and your safety.

What is the problem with knob-and-tube and aluminum wiring?

Knob-and-tube wiring has no ground and its insulation becomes brittle with age, which raises fire risk and can complicate insurance. Aluminum branch wiring from the 1960s and 70s expands and loosens at connections, creating hot spots. Both are common in older Denver homes, and we can confirm what you have and recommend the safest path forward.

How long does an electrical inspection take?

Most home electrical inspections take one to two hours, depending on the size of the home and how accessible the panel, attic, and crawl spaces are. We do not rush it. You will get a thorough walkthrough and a written report rather than a quick glance, so you know exactly where your home stands.

Will an inspection tell me if I need a panel upgrade?

Yes. We check your panel's amperage, condition, breaker brand, and grounding, and we will tell you honestly whether your existing panel is fine or whether a 200-amp upgrade makes sense, especially if you are planning an EV charger, hot tub, or basement finish. If an upgrade is needed, we provide flat-rate pricing on the spot.
