Passing an electrical inspection is critical, especially before starting your next project or if you have moved into a new home. Here are a few pointers to assist you in passing your inspection.

• Inquire with the inspector about what they expect to see and how to avoid potential stumbling blocks
• No additional outlets or devices should be added to existing circuits
• Join all of the ground wires in each outlet and electrical box
• Seal off any holes or penetrations that connect one floor to another or one wiring passage to another. This prevents a fire from using the hole as a chimney or breathing hole.
• Make use of the correct breaker
• Repair any gaps in electrical boxes
• Use wire nuts to secure any exposed wires
