What does an electrical safety inspection cover?
The inspector looks at the panel, breakers, wiring, grounding, outlets and switches, and notes anything that is unsafe or out of date. You get a list of what needs attention so you can decide what to fix and in what order.
People book one before buying or selling a home, after a storm or flood, when the home has older wiring, or when a permit needs a final inspection.
What is the Broward County 40-year recertification?
Broward County's Building Safety Inspection Program applies to older buildings. A local engineering firm's summary says most commercial structures in Broward and Miami-Dade must undergo a comprehensive inspection 40 years after completion, that qualifying buildings need an electrical inspection by a licensed electrical engineer, and that the inspection repeats every 10 years if the building is found safe.
The same summary lists one- and two-family homes as exempt. The county publishes an electrical BSIP inspection form with its program materials. Repairs found during the inspection are electrical work for a licensed contractor; see our commercial electrical page.
How does code compliance work with permits?
Permitted electrical work is inspected by the city or county building department. Pompano Beach, for example, says a panel replacement requires an electrical permit and asks for a final electrical inspection. A licensed contractor normally schedules the inspection for you.
What to ask when you book
Ask for the contractor's Florida license number and verify it on MyFloridaLicense, ask what the report will include, and ask how repairs would be quoted if the inspection finds problems. Contractors in the network are independent, so confirm license and insurance yourself.
