Call (877) 883-2383 — our licensed Oregon electricians perform preventative electrical safety audits with arc fault detection, thermal scanning of every connection, outlet polarity testing, smoke detector verification, and panel condition assessment. Protect your family before problems become emergencies.
An electrical safety inspection is fundamentally different from a code compliance check. While code inspections determine whether your system meets current OESC standards, a safety inspection focuses on identifying active hazards — conditions that could cause a fire, electrical shock, or electrocution right now, regardless of when your home was built. Deteriorating wire insulation, loose connections generating heat, corroded panel components, faulty GFCI devices that no longer trip, and improperly functioning smoke detectors are all conditions that develop over time and can only be caught through proactive evaluation. Call (877) 883-2383 to schedule a preventative safety audit.
Oregon's climate is particularly harsh on electrical systems. The persistent moisture throughout the Willamette Valley and coastal regions accelerates corrosion on connections, degrades wire insulation, and promotes condensation inside panel enclosures. Homes in the Portland metro area that were built during the 1960s and 1970s construction boom are now 50-60 years old with original wiring that has endured decades of Pacific Northwest dampness. Our safety inspection uses thermal imaging to detect overheating connections behind walls and inside panels, specialized arc fault diagnostic tools to identify dangerous arcing conditions, and calibrated testing instruments to verify every protective device in your home is functioning correctly. Call (877) 883-2383 for peace of mind about your electrical system's safety.
Whether you own your home, manage rental properties, or are considering enrolling in an annual safety program, our inspection delivers a clear, actionable report with a color-coded safety rating for your entire system. Every finding is classified as critical, moderate, or advisory, so you know exactly what needs attention first. For landlords, our rental property compliance check verifies all requirements under Oregon landlord-tenant law, including smoke detector placement, GFCI protection, and general electrical safety. Call (877) 883-2383 to protect your property and your tenants.

Call (877) 883-2383Real experiences from Oregon homeowners and landlords who invested in preventative electrical safety.
"After hearing about a neighbor's house fire caused by electrical issues, I decided to get a safety inspection on our 1968 Portland home. The electrician found a loose neutral connection in our panel that was generating significant heat — the thermal camera showed it was 40 degrees hotter than the surrounding connections. He also found that none of our smoke detectors were interconnected and two had expired. They fixed the panel connection immediately and replaced all the smoke detectors the same week. This inspection may have literally saved our lives."
"I manage 12 rental units across Tualatin and Sherwood. These electricians do annual safety inspections on all my properties and provide the documentation I need for my property management files. They found issues I never would have caught — failed GFCI outlets that looked fine but would not trip, reversed polarity on several outlets, and missing smoke detectors that tenants had removed. Their rental compliance reports protect me from liability and keep my tenants safe. Could not run my properties without them."

Common questions about electrical safety inspections in Oregon.
2 different objectives — call (877) 883-2383 for either service. A code inspection determines whether your electrical system meets current Oregon Electrical Specialty Code (OESC) standards, often required for permits, home sales, or insurance. A safety inspection focuses specifically on identifying fire risks, shock hazards, and conditions that could cause injury — regardless of when the home was built or what code applied at the time. Safety inspections are proactive and preventative, designed to catch deteriorating conditions before they cause harm. We recommend both for comprehensive protection.
3 key requirements for Oregon landlords — call (877) 883-2383 for rental compliance. 1) Oregon law (ORS 90.730) requires landlords to maintain all electrical systems in safe working condition and compliant with applicable codes at the time of installation, 2) Smoke detectors must be hardwired with battery backup in all rental units per Oregon Fire Code, with working units in every bedroom and on each floor, 3) All receptacles in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas must have functioning GFCI protection. Failure to maintain safe electrical conditions exposes landlords to liability lawsuits and potential fines.
3 detection methods used — call (877) 883-2383 for arc fault testing. 1) We test all existing AFCI breakers to verify they trip properly when presented with simulated arc fault conditions, 2) For circuits without AFCI protection, we use specialized diagnostic equipment to detect the electrical signatures of series and parallel arcing — dangerous conditions caused by damaged wire insulation, loose connections, or nail strikes through conductors, 3) We perform thermal imaging along circuit paths to identify hot spots that indicate arcing behind walls. Arc faults cause over 28,000 house fires annually nationwide.
Annual inspections for homes over 40 years old — call (877) 883-2383 to enroll in our safety program. Recommended schedule: 1) Homes built before 1970 with original wiring: annually, due to degrading insulation and outdated protection, 2) Homes built 1970-1990: every 2 years, as components reach end-of-life, 3) Homes built 1990-2010: every 3 years for routine monitoring, 4) After any storm damage, flooding, or major appliance addition: immediately. Oregon's wet climate accelerates wire insulation breakdown, making regular safety inspections even more critical here.
5 sections in every report — call (877) 883-2383 to schedule your inspection. 1) Executive summary with an overall safety rating (green/yellow/red) for your entire electrical system, 2) Detailed findings organized by location (room-by-room) with annotated photos of every hazard identified, 3) Risk severity classification — each finding rated as critical (immediate danger), moderate (should fix within 30 days), or advisory (recommended improvement), 4) Thermal imaging results with temperature readings and comparison to safe baselines, 5) Prioritized action plan with specific repair recommendations and estimated timelines.
