Electrical Entrance Inspections
Included in a home inspection
Five Points of Consideration for Electrical Entrances:
- Electrical power is considered a necessity for any modern home
- Power normally comes into the home either by over head cables or under ground cables contained in buried piping called conduit
- Proper clearances to electrical entrance wiring and equipment is needed for safety
- Overhead wires need to be high enough and away from windows, balconies, porches and decks so as not to pose a human safety hazard
- Both overhead and underground electrical entrances need to be protected from moisture. Electricity and Moisture do not mix.
