Whole-Home Electrical Inspections for Buyers, Sellers and Homeowners
A general home inspector looks at the electrical system for a few minutes. A licensed electrician looks at it for a living. Greg Beverly Services performs detailed whole-home electrical inspections across the Grand Strand when you are buying a home, selling a home, adding a big load like a generator or EV charger, or simply want to know your home is safe.
You get a clear written report with photos, what is a safety issue, what can wait, and a straight price for anything that needs fixing.
When to Schedule an Electrical Inspection
Before You Buy
Find panel, wiring and grounding problems before closing, so you can negotiate repairs or credits instead of paying for them later.
Before You List
Fix the items a buyer’s inspector is likely to flag, such as missing GFCI protection, double-tapped breakers or corroded connections, so they do not derail your sale.
After a Storm or Flood
Salt water and surges damage panels, outlets and meter bases in ways you cannot see from the outside.
Older Homes and Rentals
Homes 25 years or older, homes with recalled panel brands, and rentals that change hands often all benefit from a checkup.
What We Check
- Service and panel. Meter base, service entrance, main panel and subpanels, breaker sizing, double taps and signs of overheating.
- Grounding and bonding. Ground rods, bonding to water and gas lines, and salt-air corrosion at connections.
- Wiring and devices. Outlets, switches, GFCI and AFCI protection, aluminum branch wiring and amateur repairs.
- Smoke and CO alarms. Testing smoke and carbon monoxide alarms for age, placement and interconnection, and replacing expired units.
- Outdoor and specialty circuits. Pool and spa bonding, dock power, landscape lighting, generator transfer switches and EV charger circuits.
- Surge protection. Whether the home has whole-home surge protection and if the existing device is still working.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from a regular home inspection?
A home inspector gives the electrical system a visual once-over. We open the panel, test devices and grounding, check alarms and look for the coastal corrosion and amateur work that cause fires and failed sales.
How long does an inspection take?
Most homes take one to two hours. Larger homes with pools, docks or generators can take longer.
Do you test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms?
Yes. We test every alarm, check the manufacture date and placement, and can replace expired or missing alarms on the same visit. We do not install or monitor security alarm systems.
Can you fix what you find?
Yes. You get a written price for each item, and you decide what to do. Many repairs can be done before closing.
Will you work with my realtor or buyer's inspector?
Yes. We can send the report to your agent and coordinate access with the listing agent or property manager.
