Common electrical home inspection items include service wires, grounding systems, electrical panels, and outdoor wiring. Key things to check for service wires include the weatherhead, cable condition, and insulation. The grounding system should have a grounding electrode conductor within 5 feet of the water line and originate from the first means of disconnect. Electrical panels should be checked for double taps, incorrect circuit sizing, and non-listed breakers. Aluminum wiring requires devices compatible with aluminum and proper splices to avoid excessive heat buildup. Outdoor wiring like lamp cords and underground wiring must be properly secured and located in dry areas only.
