Our Inspection Process
A Thorough Approach to Electrical Safety
We’ve refined our electrical safety inspection process to be as comprehensive and non-intrusive as possible. Our goal is to provide you with a complete picture of your system’s health, arming you with the information you need to make informed decisions. Our licensed electrician will walk you through the findings and answer any questions you have.
Initial Consultation & Scheduling
We begin by discussing your concerns and scheduling a convenient time to visit your home.
Comprehensive Panel & Circuit Analysis
Our electrician will thoroughly examine your main electrical panel, checking for proper breaker operation, signs of overheating, and correct wiring.
Wiring & Outlet Integrity Check
We inspect a representative sample of switches, outlets, and fixtures to check for proper wiring, grounding, and wear and tear.
Safety Device & System Testing
We test all Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) and Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) outlets and breakers, as well as your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
Detailed Report & Recommendations
Upon completion, we provide you with a detailed report of our findings and clear, prioritized recommendations for any necessary repairs or upgrades.
Ensure Your Family's Safety
The Ultimate Peace of Mind
The most significant benefit of a professional electrical inspection is the profound peace of mind it provides. Many serious electrical hazards, like frayed wiring inside a wall or an improperly grounded appliance, are completely invisible. Our inspections are designed to bring these hidden dangers to light, allowing you to address them proactively before they can lead to a catastrophic failure.
Faulty electrical systems are a leading cause of residential fires in the United States. An inspection by a certified AA Service Co. electrician is a direct investment in fire prevention. We identify overloaded circuits, arcing faults, and other critical risks that could spark a blaze, helping to safeguard your family and your most valuable asset—your home.
Beyond fire prevention, our service ensures your home is safe from the risk of electric shock. We verify that your grounding and bonding systems are intact and that safety devices like GFCIs are working correctly, especially in high-risk areas like kitchens and bathrooms. This commitment to safety protects everyone in your household, from kids in Glenview to grandparents in Wilmette.
Proactive Electrical Care
Ensure Your Home Meets Safety Standards
Electrical codes are updated regularly to incorporate new safety technologies and best practices. A comprehensive inspection ensures that your home’s electrical system is compliant with the National Electrical Code (NEC), which is crucial for safety, insurance purposes, and your home’s resale value. Our electricians are experts in local code requirements across Chicagoland, from Deerfield to Highwood.
An inspection is especially important before undertaking a major life event. If you’re buying an older home in a community like Evanston or Glencoe, our inspection can uncover pre-existing issues that a standard home inspector might miss. Likewise, if you plan to add a major new appliance like an EV charger or a hot tub, we can confirm that your current system has the capacity to handle the additional load safely.
Ultimately, an electrical safety inspection is a smart financial investment. By identifying and addressing minor issues today, you can prevent them from escalating into major, costly repairs down the road. It ensures your system is not only safe but also prepared for the demands of modern electronics, saving you from future headaches and unexpected expenses.

Have Questions?
Electrical Safety Inspection FAQs
We understand you may have questions about our electrical safety inspection process. Here are answers to some of the most common inquiries we receive from homeowners throughout Chicagoland. Please don’t hesitate to call us if you have additional questions.
Why is a home electrical safety inspection important?
An inspection is the best way to identify hidden hazards like faulty wiring, overloaded circuits, and improper grounding that can lead to electrical fires or shock. It ensures your home is safe, compliant with electrical codes, and can help you save on homeowner’s insurance.
How often should I have my electrical system inspected?
The general recommendation is every 5-10 years for an existing home. You should also always get an inspection when purchasing a home, if your home is over 40 years old, after a major renovation, or before adding a large new appliance.
What are the signs I might need an electrical inspection?
Common warning signs include frequently tripping circuit breakers, flickering or dimming lights, a buzzing sound or burning smell from outlets or the panel, discolored outlets, or receiving a mild shock when touching an appliance.
I'm buying a new home. Is a separate electrical inspection necessary?
Yes. A standard home inspection provides a general overview but is not as thorough as an inspection performed by a licensed electrician. Our specialists focus solely on the electrical system’s safety, compliance, and functionality, providing a much more detailed and critical assessment.
How long does an electrical inspection take?
The time required depends on the size and age of your home, but a typical inspection lasts between one and three hours. Our electrician will be thorough and take the time needed to perform a complete evaluation.
