Electrical inspection in Metro Detroit: what to expect
An electrical inspection by an electrician is a hands-on safety check of your panel, wiring and devices. People book one after buying an older home, before a remodel, when an insurer asks about the panel, or when breakers trip, lights flicker, outlets feel warm or something smells hot.
This is different from the municipal inspection that closes a permit, and from a general home inspector's electrical review. An electrician can open the panel, test circuits and quote repairs on the spot.
In Metro Detroit, common findings include fuse boxes, older panels, ungrounded outlets, knob and tube wiring, overloaded circuits, and amateur basement or garage wiring.
What a proper job includes
- Panel and service check: breakers, connections, grounding and bonding
- Testing a sample of outlets for polarity, ground and GFCI function
- Checking for overheated devices, loose connections and double-tapped breakers
- Looking for older wiring types and unsafe splices in accessible areas
- Smoke and carbon monoxide alarm check
- A written list of findings, ranked by safety priority
What drives the price
- Home size and number of panels or subpanels
- Whether it is a general safety check or a specific troubleshooting call
- Access to the attic, basement and crawlspace
- Thermal imaging or other test equipment requested
- Written report detail for a buyer, insurer or lender
- Urgent or after-hours scheduling

Permits and licensing in Michigan
An inspection or troubleshooting visit alone needs no permit. Any repairs that add or alter wiring need an electrical permit from the enforcing agency for your address (the state, county, city or township; in Detroit, BSEED) and a final inspection by that agency. Replacing switches and receptacles like for like is minor repair.
Michigan licenses electrical contractors, master electricians and journeyman electricians through LARA's Bureau of Construction Codes. Check the company's electrical contractor license on the LARA lookup before you sign.

Common questions
Electrical Inspection FAQ
A home inspector does a visual review of many systems. An electrician goes deeper on the electrical system, tests circuits, and can quote or make repairs.
After buying an older home, before a major remodel, when adding big loads like an EV charger, or any time you notice flickering, tripping, buzzing or heat at outlets.
Yes. Turn off that circuit at the panel if you can do so safely, stop using the outlet, and call an electrician right away. Call 911 if you see smoke or fire.
Small repairs often can be done the same day. Larger work is quoted separately and may need a permit.
