Who Does the Inspection?

Professional house inspectors are very much a mixed bag. Some are extremely thorough and produce very detailed reports; others are less-impressive and depend too much on checklists and filling in the blanks. The very best person to inspect your electrical system is a licensed electrician, but you don’t want to be dragging one along every time you look at a prospective house. Save that for final candidates. Meanwhile, you can do a preliminary inspection yourself.
