Signs You Need An Electrical Safety Inspection
If you’ve got any doubts about the need for a thorough safety inspection, any sign of the following symptoms should prompt you to pick up the phone.
-
Noises Like Buzzing
If your outlets and other electronics are making odd noises, especially buzzing, you’ll want to reach out for an inspection. If anything other than the usual hum of a lightbulb is audible, you could have a more serious problem on your hands. Crackling and sizzling should also never occur when your electronics are running or plugged into an outlet.
-
More Expensive Energy Bills
Rising utility bills are a symptom of an electrical problem. Everything from frayed circuits to faulty connections can cause electrical waste that can bump up your monthly bills. Don’t let energy go to waste; reach out to Five Star Home Services for an electrical safety inspection in Cincinnati, OH, and keep your bills down!
-
You Rely on Extension Chords and Power Strips
Sure, these tools are convenient and can help power reach outlets where you may not have one, but relying on them is a safety risk and an electrical hazard. Don’t let your home become a nest of unstable chords; reach out to a professional to add outlets and get your rooms the power access they need.
-
Burning Smells and Visual Scorching
You shouldn’t be smelling electricity. The smell of burning can highlight a dangerous condition behind your walls and a very possible fire hazard. Wires could be overheating behind the scenes or making your outlets warm to the touch. If you see visible burn marks on outlets, this is another major sign to call a professional.

Real stories from real customers.
From identifying hidden wiring hazards in older homes to verifying remodeling code compliance, Cincinnati homeowners rely on Five Star Home Services for thorough, honest, and reliable electrical inspections.
“John Villars came to service my home‚ our electrical needs/repairs. He was prompt, polite and professional throughout his work visit. I had a new breaker box put in so that I could be grounded and up to code. He also updated a couple of electrical sockets and an outdoor one as well. I plan to have them back to correct two more items in my older home. He is so quiet and efficient and the price I feel was very reasonable!”
Jonathan Villars, Electrical Install
“Had issues with outside GFI outlet. Alec arrived on time and listened to the problem and replaced the outside GFI outlet. The issue didn’t occur again, but he still gave input on next steps if the problem recurs. I was impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. He listened to me, and that doesn’t always happen with all companies. This is the second time I have used Five Star and I am now using them for everything HVAC, Plumbing, or Electrical.”

Electrical Safety Inspection FAQs
Your electrical safety questions—answered.
The short answer is, it depends on your home. For your average, newer home, a thorough inspection every 3 to 5 years is a good choice. If your home is on the older side (think over 40 years old), you should increase that amount significantly and have things checked out annually. If you’ve just completed a major renovation or addition to your home, getting a safety inspection immediately is a solid call as well. Major storms can also damage the electrical system in your home, so if a particularly nasty storm rolls through, you should call for an inspection just in case.
Yes. We frequently provide same-day or next-day inspections across Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.
Typically, no. There’s usually not a need to shut off all the power to your home during an inspection. Inspectors need the power running to properly investigate your home’s electrical system. Your technician will probably cut power to specific portions of your house while testing various circuits, though. Your technician will try to minimize disruptions if possible, but a brief outage in a few areas is common.
It may feel counterintuitive that a brand-new build needs a thorough electrical inspection, but you should definitely get one. You probably won’t find the problems that previously lived-in homes have, but there are some helpful things an inspection can catch in a new home. There may be things left over from construction that weren’t caught, for example. Depending on how long construction took, codes may have changed, and wiring could need an update.
Yes. After the inspection, we provide clear, upfront estimates with zero pressure.
