Home Inspection Electrical Guide
With over 65 years in the electrical trade, I feel a duty to share my experiences to make homes safer. Electricity has been a leading cause of residential fires since its introduction. I’ve seen the devastation firsthand and aim to help home inspectors identify critical issues that could lead to fires.
This book isn’t a step-by-step guide but highlights areas often overlooked in inspections. Fixed wiring is a top cause of electrical fires, and aging systems, misuse, and non-compliant installations increase the risk. Modern tools like the SureTest circuit analyzer make it easier to detect hidden dangers and prevent fires before they start.
The book covers key topics like grounding, overcurrent protection, loose connections, and voltage drop. It includes practical demonstrations on identifying and fixing issues, with the goal of ensuring homes are inspected thoroughly to prevent electrical accidents. The two accompanying DVDs feature real-world demonstrations to reinforce the learning.
Ultimately, this guide empowers home inspectors to excel in their role and prioritize safety, especially in older homes where inspections should happen now—not later.
