Situations where an independent electrical assessment protects you.
- Property purchase or sale: independent electrical inspection before closing, to identify deficiencies and estimate remediation cost.
- Insurance requirements: insurers increasingly require an electrical inspection before binding coverage on older commercial and industrial properties.
- Pre-occupancy inspections: verification that electrical systems are safe before a new tenant or operator takes possession.
- Post-renovation or addition: verification that work performed by others meets CEC requirements.
- Incident investigation: inspection following an arc flash, fire, or electrical failure to identify root cause and remaining risk.
- Safety audit: independent assessment of electrical safety in an industrial facility — arc flash hazard analysis, LOTO programme review, and condition assessment.
- Pre-sale of industrial equipment: inspection of electrical equipment prior to sale, transfer, or relocation.
A structured inspection with a written report, not a verbal walk-through.
Visual Inspection:
- Service entrance condition and rating.
- Panel and distribution board condition: overcrowded conductors, double-tapped breakers, improper breaker sizing, missing knock-outs.
- Conductor condition and identification.
- Outlet, switch, and fixture condition.
- Grounding and bonding visible issues.
Testing (where applicable):
- Insulation resistance testing (megger) on motor feeders, cables, and transformer windings.
- Ground resistance testing.
- Infrared thermographic inspection of panels and switchgear connections.
Code Compliance Assessment:
- Identification of deficiencies against the current edition of the Canadian Electrical Code Part I and applicable provincial amendments.
- Categorisation of deficiencies by severity: immediate safety risk, code deficiency, or maintenance item.
Written Report:
Every inspection results in a written inspection report with findings, photos, deficiency descriptions, CEC references, and a recommended remediation scope.
Inspection backed by real field and installation experience.
- Master Electricians Alberta: our inspectors are practicing Master Electricians — they know the code because they install to it daily.
- Report-based delivery: written inspection report with photos and CEC references, not a verbal opinion.
- No conflict of interest disclosure: if we identify remediation work, we disclose it — and you can get multiple quotes.
- Industrial, commercial, and residential coverage: we inspect all property types.
- Thermographic inspection capability: infrared camera inspection for panels, switchgear, and connections included where applicable.
