If your insurer has requested a four-point inspection, here is exactly what the inspector will look at during the electrical portion.
What the Inspector Evaluates
- Panel brand and approximate age
- Visible condition of the panel
- Visible wiring type
- Grounding and bonding
- GFCI and AFCI protection
- Visible deficiencies
What the Inspector Does Not Do
The inspector does not open the panel cover, test breakers, or evaluate wiring inside the walls. It is a visual assessment only.
What Gets Flagged
Older panel brands (Federal Pacific, Zinsco), visible corrosion, insufficient capacity, and lack of GFCI protection are the most common flags.
