What does an electrical panel inspection checklist include?

An electrical panel inspection checklist includes verifying panel capacity, condition, and safety protections to confirm the system can operate safely and meet code. The review centers on the service panel and connected circuits to identify risks, needed upgrades, and any violations that require correction. A seasoned electrician compares measured load to the panel’s rating instead of relying on the number of breakers. Our licensed team performs this same thorough process in many Broomfield homes. Members of our Home Care Club receive free periodic electrical inspections with reduced repair costs.

Typical checklist items include:

  • Measure panel loads; assess capacity/age; inspect main/service equipment.
  • Test breakers, dedicated circuits, outlets, and switches; note needed replacements or new circuits.
  • Verify grounding; test surge protections; check GFCI/AFCI and smoke alarm wiring/hardwired units.
  • Document code-compliance issues and perform immediate on-site repairs when hazards are found.

Schedule a professional inspection before adding new circuits or major appliances.
