Why Insurance Inspections Matter
Electrical insurance inspections are increasingly required by insurers to mitigate the risk of electrical fires and ensure that buildings are up to current safety codes. These inspections are especially important for older homes, buildings with aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring, and commercial properties with complex electrical systems.
Without a proper inspection, building owners may pay 3–5 times more in insurance premiums—or worse, risk having their coverage denied altogether.
