Frequently Asked Questions in Vancouver (FAQ)
Why does my insurance company require an electrical inspection?
Insurance providers want to ensure that a property meets current safety standards and doesn’t present an undue fire risk. An inspection identifies and corrects hazards before they cause damage.

We’ll provide you with a report outlining any deficiencies along with repair options and costs. Once corrections are made, we can re‑inspect to verify compliance.
How often should my electrical system be inspected?
Homes over 50 years old should be inspected annually, while newer homes can be inspected every three to five years or whenever major renovations are planned.
