Electrical inspection in Fords: common questions
Is this the same as the town's inspection?
No. The municipal inspector checks permitted work against the code. Ours is a condition check of your whole system for your own information.
How long does an inspection take?
About one to two hours for a typical single-family house.
Will you pressure me to do repairs?
No. The findings are yours. If you want a price for any of the items, we will give you one.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Fords?
New circuits, panel changes and service work generally need a permit from the local construction office. Simple like-for-like replacements usually do not. We tell you when your job needs one.
Do you cover all of Fords?
Yes. We work throughout Fords and Middlesex County, including ZIP code 08863.
