At Expert Insurance Inspections, our licensed journeymen electricians have vast experience in performing comprehensive electrical inspections for all kinds of strata properties. To have an insurance inspection completed for your strata building, follow the steps below:
- Get in touch with our team. We will send one of our electricians to provide a free consultation and estimate for your building, based on your schedule and timeframe.
- Once a quick walkthrough of the building has been completed, we will assess the scope of the inspection needed, providing you with an accurate quote. Please note that larger and older condo buildings will often take longer to inspect and that this will be reflected in the quote.
- After you have agreed on our quote, we will schedule a time to perform the entire electrical inspection and to gather all of the paperwork needed for you to provide to your insurance provider. In some cases, we might even be able to communicate directly with your insurance company on your behalf.
- In the event that major electrical problems are uncovered during the inspection, our electricians can begin fixing the issues right away, bringing the building up to code and improving your eligibility for a good insurance policy.
Does your condo building need an electrical inspection?
Due to a recent increase in the number of fires caused by electrical problems in condo buildings and changes to electrical standards, your insurance provider will most likely require an electrical inspection to be completed before they will grant a policy. Strata buildings that do not receive an electrical inspection may end up paying 3-5 times more for insurance than buildings that have an inspection completed.

Who should you hire to perform an electrical insurance inspection?
In most cases, insurance providers require an electrical inspection to be completed by a bonded electrician with a minimum of $3-5 million insurance with WCB. Outdated electrical systems and aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring will also needed to be updated by a company that meets these requirements for the building to be eligible for insurance. If your strata building needs updates, make sure to talk to a professional electrician before having any work done to ensure that you can avoid needing a second inspection for the building.
