Electrical Pitfalls

The Top Five (5) Electrical "Red Flags":

• Knob Tube Wiring

• Aluminum Wiring

• Federal Pacific Electrical Panel

• Fuse Box instead of Circuit Breaker

• Main Service under 100 Amp

Bill Root is trained to identify these pit falls before the buyer’s home inspector puts up a red flag.  Insurance companies require certification from an electrical contractor for the above issues.

 Other issues include:

• Open junction boxes
• Outlets and switches missing covers
• Loose wires
• MULTITAP/S in the electrical panel

These items can be easily corrected. Call Roots Home Inspection for a pre-inspection of your listing and prevent delays in the sales process.
