How to Pass Electrical Inspection the First Time

Remodeling, Selling, or Finishing a Project? Every electrical system in your home must meet the National Electrical Code (NEC) for safety and reliability. Inspections aren’t meant to slow you down—they’re meant to protect your home and family. But when wiring is outdated, modified by DIY work, or not properly labeled, those little details can quickly lead to failed inspections and unexpected expenses.

Common Code Issues Homeowners Face Electricians see these violations every week when helping homeowners pass inspection:

• 🔧 Missing junction boxes – Exposed or spliced wires must always be enclosed for safety.

• ⚙️ Neutral and ground wires mixed – This can cause nuisance tripping or shock hazards.

• 💡 Improper breaker sizing – Breakers must match wire size to prevent overheating.

• 🧰 Unsupported cables or loose fittings – Wires must be stapled and protected from damage.

• ⚡ Unrated outdoor wiring – Outdoor outlets and wiring must be weather-resistant and sealed.

Even if your wiring “works,” that doesn’t mean it’s safe or up to code. Inspections look for what’s behind the walls, not just what’s visible.
