Home electrical inspection in Winter Park, FL
Most Winter Park inspections we do are on 1920s to 40s houses in and around the historic district. The questions there are specific: is any knob-and-tube still live, is anything grounded, and how big is the service really.
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 Winter Park.
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.
Knob-and-tube remnants
We check what we can reach in the attic and at the devices and say plainly whether what we find looks active or abandoned. Plaster walls limit what anyone can see without opening them. The report says where we looked and where we could not.
Three prongs, no ground
Older homes here often have three-prong outlets on circuits with no ground wire. We test a sample for ground and polarity and list which rooms are affected. That matters for insurance and for anything you plug into those outlets.
The service you actually have
Plenty of these homes still run on 60 or 100-amp services sized for a couple of window units. We write down the service size and main breaker so you know before planning central air, a kitchen or a charger.
What happens after the report
Winter Park runs its own electric utility, so anything at the meter or service drop goes to the city rather than OUC or Duke. Repairs that need a permit are filed with Winter Park Building & Permitting Services. You decide what, if anything, gets fixed.
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.

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.
