Commercial and Residential electrical Inspections in Austin, TX

Make Sure Your Home or Business Is Safe, Secure & Up to Code
When was the last time your electrical system got a check-up? From outdated wiring to missing safety components, electrical issues can go unnoticed — until they cause serious problems. At Raptor Electrical Services, we provide expert commercial and residential electrical inspections in Austin, TX and surrounding areas to give you peace of mind and keep your property safe.

Our licensed electricians follow National Electrical Code (NEC) standards and bring years of experience to every inspection. Whether it’s a home, business, or new build, we leave no wire unturned.

Your Inspection May Include:

• Full check of switches, outlets & cover plates
• Operation & placement of smoke & carbon monoxide detectors
• Outdoor systems & security lighting evaluation
• Detection of shock/electrocution hazards
• Grounding & surge protection status
• Electrical panel load, label, amp check
• Proper light bulb wattage usage
• Review of wiring methods & visible condition

If you're building or remodeling, we also provide comprehensive inspections for new construction, with documentation for code clearance and permits.

Beyond code compliance, an inspection helps protect your property, wallet, and family. Electrical systems wear down over time, and previous work may not have been done to today’s standards. That’s why we recommend inspections for both old and new properties.

Benefits of Electrical Inspections:

• Identify and correct fire and shock hazards
• Spot outdated or dangerous wiring (e.g., knob-and-tube, aluminum)
• Catch DIY electrical mistakes or code violations
• Ensure insurance compliance
• Improve energy efficiency
• Prevent future system failures
• Provide documentation for real estate transactions
• Gain peace of mind — know your system is safe

If you’re unsure whether it’s time for an inspection, check this list. You should schedule one if:

• You’re buying or selling a property
• Your home is 40+ years old
• You’ve added new major appliances (EV chargers, dryers, HVAC)
• You’re doing renovations or upgrades
• You notice flickering lights, tripped breakers, or strange electrical behavior
• Your last inspection was more than 5 years ago

But, when in doubt, schedule it out. A quick inspection can prevent costly repairs or safety hazards down the road.

Not sure what an inspection might reveal? Here are a few red flags we commonly encounter in Austin homes and businesses:

• Painted or Ungrounded Outlets
• Exposed or Taped Wires
• Overloaded or Modified Panels
• Old Wiring (Knob & Tube / Aluminum)
• Double-Tapped Circuit Breakers
• Missing GFCI Protection
