When Do You Need an Electrical Home Inspection in Calgary?  

Buying a Home: Know what’s behind the walls before you buy. Avoid surprise repair bills from outdated wiring or unsafe panels. 

Updating Insurance: Many Calgary insurers require inspections for older homes, including those with aluminum wiring and knob and tube wiring. 

Renovations or Major Work: Ensure your system can handle added demand from new layouts, EV chargers, or hot tubs. 

Warning Signs: Flickering lights, buzzing outlets, or tripped breakers signal trouble. An inspection catches problems before they become costly or dangerous.

What’s Covered in a FuseSmart Electrical Home Inspection? 

Every home is different, but the goal is always the same, to make sure your electrical system is safe, reliable, and ready for what you need it to do. Here’s what we typically look at during a full inspection:

Burnt Plug

Outlets, Switches & Fixtures  

We test key outlets and switches for proper wiring, grounding, and signs of heat or damage. 

Electrical Fire

Fire & Shock Hazards 

We identify loose connections, arcing, aluminum wiring concerns, or unsafe DIY fixes before they put your home at risk. 

Electrician testing for power

System Load & Capacity 

We assess whether your system can handle today’s power needs, and future upgrades like EV chargers or hot tubs. 

Damaged aluminum wiring

Age & Condition of Wiring 

We look for signs of deterioration, exposed wiring, or materials that no longer meet today’s safety standards. 

If we spot anything that needs attention, we’ll flag issues without overcomplicating them and walk you through your options. You’ll get an honest summary of your system’s overall condition, along with a free quote for any recommended work, if you choose to move forward. 

Complimentary Safety Inspections 

When we’re already doing other work in your home – like a panel upgrade, lighting install, or EV charger install – we include a basic safety check at no extra cost. We’ll take a quick look at your panel and visible wiring to flag anything that could pose a future issue. It’s just part of how we help you stay safe without extra stress or surprise costs.

We’ve helped homeowners across Calgary feel more confident about the safety of their electrical systems through open communication, respectful service, and ongoing support. See why so many people recommend FuseSmart to friends and family. 


  • The cost of an electrical inspection in Calgary can vary depending on the size of the home and the purpose of the inspection. Pre-purchase and insurance inspections are typically more detailed and may range from $150 to $500, depending on what’s involved. At FuseSmart, we provide complimentary safety inspections when completing other electrical work, and we offer transparent quotes for full inspections with no hidden fees or obligations.

  • Yes. Any significant electrical work in Calgary – such as panel upgrades, rewiring, or lighting installations – requires a permit and inspection by the City. This ensures the work meets safety standards and is properly documented. At FuseSmart, we handle all permitting and coordinate inspections on your behalf, so everything is up to code and stress-free for you. Learn more about Calgary permit requirements.

  • A standard electrical inspection usually takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the size of your home and how accessible your electrical system is. More detailed inspections such as those for older homes or insurance documentation can take a little longer. During your free consultation, we’ll give you a clear time estimate so you know exactly what to expect.

  • If your home doesn't pass an inspection, don't panic. The inspector will provide a list of issues to be addressed, and you’ll have an opportunity to correct them. Common reasons for failure include overloaded panels, outdated wiring, unsafe DIY modifications, or missing permits. FuseSmart can handle the necessary repairs and coordinate the re-inspection so your system meets code and passes without issue.

  • In Calgary, electrical inspections must be performed by licensed electricians who are trained to assess residential and commercial systems. These inspections ensure that your wiring, panel, and devices meet safety codes and are functioning properly. At FuseSmart, our licensed electricians offer comprehensive electrical inspections, provide clear documentation, and walk you through any recommended upgrades or repairs. We also assist with any follow-up required for insurance or resale.

  • A rough-in inspection is done before walls and ceilings are closed up during new construction or renovations. It checks the wiring, grounding, boxes, and conduit to ensure everything is installed correctly and safely before drywall goes up. FuseSmart coordinates rough-in inspections as part of our electrical work on renovations and new builds, so your project stays on schedule and passes with confidence.
