Why Electrical Inspections Are Non-Negotiable

Most home inspectors aren’t electricians. They’ll note “outdated panel” or “no GFCI,” but won’t understand the real risks — or how to fix them. A professional electrical inspection gives you the full picture — and the power to act.

The Hidden Risk

Without a professional inspection, you may unknowingly sell a home with unsafe wiring — or be denied insurance after a fire. Insurance companies are now using AI to flag homes with outdated panels or aluminum wiring. If you’re caught off guard, your claim can be denied — leaving you responsible for total loss. We help you avoid this by identifying risks before they become disasters.

Insurance and Resale Concerns

Home insurance providers in Quebec are tightening underwriting standards. Outdated panels, aluminum wiring, knob-and-tube systems, and ungrounded outlets are now automatic red flags — often leading to policy non-renewal or increased premiums. When selling, a failed electrical inspection can stall or kill a deal. We provide official, insurer-approved reports that prove compliance — turning your home from a liability into a market-ready asset.

A Client’s Story: The Inspection That Saved a Sale

“We had an offer on our 1970s home in Saint-Jérôme — until the inspector flagged our aluminum wiring and fuse panel. The buyer’s lender demanded an upgrade. We called Expertise Bolt-Duc. Michaël did the inspection, gave us a clear report, and then did the upgrade. We closed the sale two weeks later — and the buyer thanked us for being upfront.”
