Know The Difference
Inspection Types and What They Cover
| Inspection Type | What It Typically Covers |
|---|---|
| General home inspection | A broad overview of the home performed during a sale, not a detailed electrical evaluation by an electrician |
| Insurance or four-point inspection | A report for insurance underwriting that may flag electrical concerns for further review |
| Electrical diagnostic | Targeted troubleshooting to find the cause of a specific problem, such as a tripping breaker or dead outlet |
| Electrical safety inspection by an electrician | A licensed electrician evaluates the electrical system for safety, condition, and repair or upgrade planning |
We do not perform insurance four-point inspections. We evaluate electrical concerns identified during those inspections and inspect electrical systems for safety and repair planning.
We evaluate concerns, we do not perform insurance inspections
On The Bright Side Electric does not perform insurance or four-point inspections. If an insurance or home inspection flagged an electrical concern, we can evaluate that concern, inspect the electrical system for safety, and help you plan any needed repairs or upgrades.
