Electrical Code & Inspection Corrections
An electrical issue on an inspection report needs a clear next step. Tane Electric helps homeowners and businesses discuss the correction work their property needs.
Start with the report. Plan the right repair.
An inspection can leave you with unfamiliar terms, a list of electrical concerns, and questions about what to do next. Rather than guessing which parts to replace, bring the written findings to Colt. Tane Electric provides electrical code-violation and inspection correction services, with the work planned around the specific issues identified at your property.
You may be addressing items noted during a home purchase, following up on a remodel, or resolving an electrical correction notice. Share what prompted the inspection and the complete electrical portion of the report. A summary from memory can miss important context, so include the original wording and any accompanying photos when possible.
A home inspection report and a correction notice from an electrical inspector are not the same document. Tell us which you have, who issued it, and whether it relates to an existing permit or project. Colt can review the electrical concerns with you and discuss the work being considered before you agree to a scope.
The goal is to address the identified electrical work, not sell you unrelated upgrades. If the report raises questions about outlets, switches, fixtures, circuits, wiring, or panel equipment, include those items in your inquiry. The condition of the existing installation and access to the affected areas help determine what the repair involves.
Planning your project
Bring the findings, the location, and your timeline.
Send the inspection report or correction notice with your property address and a way to contact you. Include any permit or project reference shown on the document, photos already supplied by the inspector, and the areas needing access. Mention whether the property is occupied, a sale is underway, or other construction is in progress. If someone has given you a deadline, share that date at the start so availability can be discussed. Do not open electrical equipment or disturb wiring to gather photos. An estimate depends on the actual correction work, not simply the number of items on the report. Discuss which repairs are included and whether any follow-up requirements need clarification before scheduling.
See our service area →Frequently asked questions
Before you get started.
Can I send a home inspector’s electrical findings?
Yes. Send the electrical section of the report, including its photos and recommendations. Tell Colt whether you own the property, are considering a purchase, or are preparing it for sale, so the project discussion has the right context.
What if I received an electrical correction notice?
Provide the complete notice and any project or permit reference listed on it. Include the issuing inspector’s comments rather than rewriting them. Colt can discuss the listed electrical work and what needs to be clarified for your specific project.
Can you guarantee the property will pass an inspection?
No inspection outcome is promised in advance. The correction work must be considered against the actual findings, and the inspecting authority determines its own approval. Share the report so the scope can be discussed clearly.
Do I need a whole-house upgrade to fix an inspection item?
Not every finding calls for a major upgrade. The appropriate repair depends on the issue and the existing installation. Start with the report rather than assuming every panel, circuit, or device must be replaced.
How do I request an estimate?
Call 360-836-1022 or use the contact page. Describe the inspection findings, your property location, and any requested timeline. Have the original report ready to share when the project is discussed.
Do I need an electrical permit?
Permit requirements depend on the electrical work and your property’s location. Talk directly to Colt about your project, and see our guide for local permitting authorities and inspection information. View Permits & Inspections →
