Insurance companies and real estate lawyers ask for ESA inspection paperwork more and more often. An Electrical Safety Inspection (ESI) is a formal written report from a licensed Master Electrician that says your electrical system is safe and code-compliant. Tim does these all the time for buyers, sellers, landlords, and homeowners renewing insurance on older properties. The report is the document — the inspection itself is just Tim walking the house, opening some panels and outlets, and writing it up.
What it costs
Transparent pricing in writing.
A full ESI on a typical 3-bedroom home runs $300 to $600. Larger homes, commercial properties, or properties with significant aluminum/FPE/K&T flagging take longer and price higher. Tim quotes after a quick walkthrough.
Before & after
What we replace. What we leave.
What we typically find
- Insurance company asking for documentation on older home
- Buying a home — want to know what you're actually inheriting
- Selling a home — want to head off any buyer concerns
- Aluminum wiring, FPE/Zinsco panel, or knob-and-tube in the house
- Major renovation or addition just finished — confirming everything is code

How an ESI Runs
Walk, check, document.
Tim spends 2-3 hours on site walking the entire home. He opens the panel and inspects every breaker, checks a sample of outlets and switches, looks at any visible wiring in the basement and attic, confirms the service entrance and grounding, identifies any unsafe DIY work, and flags anything that doesn't meet code. If everything passes, you get the signed ESI document for your insurance or real estate file. If something doesn't pass, Tim quotes the remediation work alongside the report.
An ESI is only valid from a licensed Master Electrician — and the report has to be detailed enough that your insurance carrier accepts it. Tim has been issuing these for years. The format is right, the inspection is thorough, and if there are issues he tells you straight what they'll cost to fix before you walk into a renewal or a transaction.

FAQ
Common questions
How much does an ESA inspection cost?
A residential ESI typically runs $300 to $600. Larger or older homes with more to inspect run higher. Tim quotes after a short phone call about the property.
How long is the report valid?
Most insurance carriers accept ESI reports for 1-2 years from the inspection date. Some accept longer if no major work has been done. Check with your insurer.
What if the inspection fails?
It's not a pass/fail — it's a report. If Tim finds code issues, he documents them and quotes the remediation. You can address the issues, then he re-issues the report. The inspection itself doesn't bind you to anything.
