Home Inspections & Safety Inspections Done Right

At Light 'Em Up Electric, we provide home inspections and electrical safety inspections that help homeowners understand the condition of their wiring, panels, outlets, switches, and overall electrical system. If you are buying a home, selling a home, remodeling, finishing a basement, or just living in an older house, an electrical inspection is one of the best ways to catch problems early and avoid expensive repairs or safety risks later.

We are a small company, and that matters. Marcos Geroli brings 18 years of hands-on electrical experience to every job. He learned the trade young, working alongside his grandfather, and built this company on one simple idea: work hard and do it right. That means when we inspect your home, we do not rush through it or give you vague answers. We take the time to look closely, explain what we find, and help you understand what should be fixed now, what may need attention soon, and what is working as it should.

What a home electrical inspection covers

Our inspections are designed to give you a clear picture of the safety and condition of your electrical system. The exact scope can vary based on the age of the home, the type of property, and your concerns, but a typical inspection may include:

• Main electrical panel inspection
• Breaker condition and labeling
• Service entrance and grounding system review
• Outlet and switch testing
• GFCI and AFCI protection checks where applicable
• Visible wiring condition and workmanship review
• Light fixture and ceiling fan connections
• Smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector power concerns
• Garage, basement, attic, and exterior electrical checks when accessible
• Signs of overloaded circuits, outdated components, or unsafe modifications
• Code-related safety concerns and common electrical hazards

We also pay close attention to warning signs that often get missed, such as double-tapped breakers, loose connections, open junction boxes, improper grounding, damaged outlets, aluminum wiring concerns, ungrounded receptacles, burned breakers, and signs of amateur electrical work. These are the kinds of issues that can lead to nuisance tripping, power loss, appliance damage, or even electrical fire hazards.

Who should schedule a safety inspection

Electrical safety inspections are valuable in many situations. We commonly help:

• Homebuyers who want to know the true condition of the electrical system before closing
• Homeowners in older homes with outdated wiring or panels
• Sellers who want to fix issues before listing or negotiations
• Families adding new appliances or planning electrical upgrades
• Homeowners finishing basements or remodeling rooms
• Property owners with flickering lights, warm outlets, tripping breakers, or other warning signs
• Landlords who want to improve safety and reduce future repair calls

If your home is more than a few decades old, if you have never had the system checked, or if something just does not seem right, it makes sense to schedule an inspection. Many electrical issues are hidden behind walls or inside panels, but there are often signs we can spot before they become bigger problems.

What we look for during the inspection

Our goal is not just to point out defects. We inspect with a practical eye and a safety-first mindset. We look at whether the system appears properly installed, whether it can safely support the home’s current electrical demands, and whether there are visible risks that should be corrected. We also look for older or obsolete equipment that may no longer be reliable, including outdated panels, worn breakers, missing bonding, or improper additions made over the years.

When we inspect a home, we focus on both safety and function. That includes checking whether outlets are properly wired, whether bathrooms, kitchens, garages, and outdoor areas have the right protection, whether major circuits appear overloaded, and whether the panel has room and capacity for future upgrades. If you are planning to add a generator connection, update your service, finish your basement, or install new circuits, an inspection is a smart place to start.

Benefits of a professional electrical inspection

A professional home electrical inspection can save you money, improve safety, and give you peace of mind. It can help you:

• Find fire and shock hazards early
• Understand the age and condition of your electrical system
• Prepare for a remodel, basement finish, or service upgrade
• Avoid surprises during a home purchase or sale
• Identify code and safety issues before they get worse
• Improve reliability and reduce breaker trips or power problems
• Create a clear plan for repairs or upgrades

For many homeowners, the biggest benefit is clarity. You get honest feedback from an experienced electrician, not guesswork. We explain things in plain language so you know what matters most and what your next steps should be.

Why homeowners choose Light 'Em Up Electric

We know you have options when it comes to electrical contractors. What sets us apart is simple: experience, honesty, and fair pricing. Because we are a smaller company, we are often more affordable than the big guys without cutting corners on quality or service. We treat your home with respect, show up ready to work, and give you straightforward recommendations based on what we actually see.

We do more than inspections. We also handle rewiring, troubleshooting, electrical upgrades, manual transfer switches for portable generators, panel-related work, and basement electrical projects. That means if we find an issue during your inspection, we can often help you fix it the right way. If you have already received estimates for electrical repairs, let us take a look. We may be able to beat them while still delivering the quality you expect.

Clear findings and next-step recommendations

After the inspection, we walk you through our findings in a clear and practical way. We can point out immediate safety concerns, recommended repairs, and improvements that may help your system perform better or meet current safety standards. Our goal is to make sure you leave the inspection informed, not overwhelmed.

Some customers need a safety check for peace of mind. Others need answers before buying a house or starting a project. In either case, we are here to help with real electrical knowledge and honest guidance from a company that believes in doing the job right.
