Home electrical inspection in Sanford, FL
If you are buying an older house in Sanford, an electrician's inspection is worth more here than almost anywhere we work. Knob-and-tube still turns up, and many post-war bungalows run on 60-amp services with no grounding.
One flat price for a typical single-family home. Anything we find is priced separately in writing; you decide what, if anything, gets fixed. VIP members get a free inspection or hour of service every year.
Four things that are only true in Sanford.
If you could swap the city name out of this page and it would still be accurate, it should not exist. Here is what actually changes here.
Prices you can negotiate with
A general home inspector may write "have an electrician evaluate." We are that electrician. Every finding comes with a written price, line by line, so you can use it before closing.
Questions your insurer may ask
Carriers often want the panel brand and age, the wiring type and the visible condition in writing. On Sanford's older homes that is exactly what we document. Ask your agent what form they need before we come.
Downtown buildings before a renovation
Downtown buildings in renovation often face change-of-use work. A quoted commercial inspection of the existing panels and wiring before you commit gives you a starting point for the budget.
FPL and the permit office
Sanford is on FPL, so meter and service drop problems go to them. Repairs that need a permit are filed with the City of Sanford Building Division or Seminole County outside city limits. The inspection itself needs no permit.
Real numbers before you call.
Same ranges we publish everywhere, because the work does not cost more just because of the zip code. You get an exact number at the free estimate.
What we check
Grant handles Sanford and north Seminole. You will have a name and a text before anyone is at your door.
Real reviews, word for word.
"Grant wired our new kitchen project. We have used him two other times and plan on using him with our next project."
"…In Phaze sent 3 people for the job, which they completed in 1 day, even vacuuming up afterwards."
"After getting the run around from other electricians I came across In Phase. Wish I found them first."
"Unlike some of their competitors, they don't try to up-sell products that aren't strictly necessary."
Straight answers.
How is this different from a home inspection?
A general home inspector looks at the whole house and often doesn't open the panel. A licensed electrician spends the whole visit on the electrical system and can tell you what a fix actually costs.
How long does it take?
About an hour for a typical home, longer for large or older houses.
Will this satisfy my insurance company?
We document the panel brand and age, wiring type and visible condition in writing, which is what carriers usually ask about. Forms vary by carrier, so confirm with your agent what they need before we come.
Do you check for aluminum or cloth wiring?
Yes. We open a few devices to see what is actually there and tell you whether it needs remediation or just documentation.
Do I have to fix what you find?
No. You get the list and prices. Some items are safety issues we strongly recommend fixing; many are not urgent.
Can you inspect before I close on a house?
Yes. Tell us the closing date and we will tell you honestly whether we can fit it in, and give you prices you can use in negotiation.
