If your insurance provider has asked for an electrical inspection to be completed for your commercial building, we can ensure you have everything you need for your insurance policy.
At Expert Insurance Inspections, our team of professional journeymen electricians have been performing commercial electrical inspections for insurance purposes for years. The steps to getting an electrical insurance inspection completed for your commercial building are as follows:
- Get in touch with us and we will send one of our Red Seal certified electricians to your property as soon as possible to provide you with a free estimate and consultation for your building.
- After a quick walkthrough of the entire building, we will then assess the scope of the inspection and provide you with an accurate quote. Please note that larger and older buildings can often take longer to inspect and that this will be reflected in the quote.
- Once our initial inspection has been completed, we will schedule in an appointment time to perform the entire electrical inspection and to ensure that you have all the paperwork required for your insurance company. In some cases, our electricians may even be able to interact with the insurance company for you.
- If any major electrical problems are discovered during the course of our inspection, our electricians can begin fixing the issues right way to help increase the odds of your building receiving a good insurance policy.
Does your commercial building need an electrical insurance inspection?
In most cases, commercial buildings require an electrical insurance inspection to be performed before an insurance company will grant a policy for the property. This is due to a recent increase in fires caused by electrical problems, as well as by changes made to BC’s electrical standards. If you choose not to have an electrical inspection performed for your commercial building, you can expect to pay 3-5 times more for insurance.
Electrical inspections for commercial buildings.
It is important to hire an electrician with extensive experience to ensure that your building’s electrical inspection is performed quickly and safely without disrupting your building’s tenants. The dedicated team of licensed and bonded electricians from Expert Insurance Inspections can take care of all your inspection related needs, from performing the inspection and providing you with information on how to take action if your building is considered high-risk for electrical fires to helping you create an electrical maintenance and upkeep plan to ensure your commercial building’s insurance remains affordable for years to come.
Who can perform a commercial electrical insurance inspection?
Your insurance provider will most likely require your inspection to be completed by a bonded electrician with at least $3-5 million insurance with WCB. Updates to old electrical systems and aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring will also need to be completed by a licensed electrician that meets these requirements to ensure that your building is eligible for insurance. Before having any upgrades completed to your building’s electrical system, make sure to speak to a professional electrician so you can avoid the need for a second inspection.
