Home Electrical Inspection and Safety Check in Northern New Jersey

Gareffa Electric does home electrical inspection and electrical safety checks for homeowners, buyers and sellers in Bergen, Hudson, Essex and Passaic counties, New Jersey. Call (973) 662-4333 or book a service call online, and we call you to set the visit time.

What an electrical safety check looks at

A licensed electrician looks over the electrical system in your home and tells you what we see. The goal is to check the whole system before problems show up. We look at:

• The electrical panel and breakers
• Outlets and switches
• GFCI outlets
• The condition of visible wiring
• Anything specific you are worried about

Already have a dead outlet or a breaker that keeps tripping? Tell us when you book and we will look at that too.

What this is and what it is not

This is an electrician's look at your electrical system. It is not a licensed home inspection, and it is not a certification. We do not guarantee any outcome. We tell you what we find, and if something needs work, we tell you the price before we start.

Buying a home

If you are buying, a safety check gives you an electrician's view of the panel, outlets and visible wiring. Tell us your closing timeline when you call. We cannot promise an exact visit time in advance, but we will work with you on scheduling.

Selling a home

If you are selling, a check before you list shows you what a buyer's team may notice. You can decide what to fix first. Any work we find is quoted before we start.

Older homes

Older homes can have original wiring, older panels and outlets that were never updated. If you own one, a safety check is a way to see where things stand. If the check points to a bigger project, such as a panel upgrade or a sub panel, we quote it separately.

Electrical problems to tell us about when you book

You do not need to know what is wrong. If you have noticed any of these, mention them when you book, and we will look at them during the visit:

• Loose connections, such as outlets or switches that feel loose or move in the wall
• Damaged wiring or cables you can see
• Outlets or GFCIs that do not work or will not reset
• Breakers that trip again and again
• Lights that flicker or dim
• Wiring you think may be faulty in an older home

We tell you what we see. If something needs work, we tell you the price before we start.

No. It is an electrician's look at your electrical system. It is not a licensed home inspection and not a certification.

What is a home electrical inspection?

It is a visit from a licensed electrician who looks over your home's electrical system and tells you what they see. We look at the panel and breakers, outlets, switches, GFCI outlets and visible wiring. It is an electrical safety check, not a licensed home inspection.

Who should book electrical inspections?

Homeowners who want to know where their electrical system stands, buyers who want an electrician's view before closing, and sellers who want to know where the electrical system stands. Book the $150 scheduled service call and tell us which one you are.

Can I book an electrical inspection for a home I am buying?

Yes. Book a $150 scheduled service call and tell us your closing timeline. We call you to set the visit time.

Should I get a check before I sell?

Many sellers like to know what is in the panel and wiring before a buyer's team looks. We tell you what we find, and you decide what to do next.
