Spending money on an electrical safety check when buying a new home may seem like an additional expense. But an electrical safety check is an investment that will give you peace of mind. You will know that the electrical system is functioning well and your new house meets all the requisite electrical safety standards.

Our experts at RR Switches, one of the leading switch distributors, help you understand the importance of getting an electrical safety check done before purchasing a new house:

• It helps identify common electrical problems: When you buy a new house, you are excited to begin the renovation as quickly as possible. An electrical safety check will help you identify common electrical problems that can be repaired before you make the purchase and begin the renovation work. Because once you start the renovation, it can be quite expensive to fix the electrical problems. And also after the purchase is done, you have to bear the repair costs.
• It helps identify potential safety risks: Cables, wires and fuse boxes are often hidden behind the walls. With use and misuse their condition can deteriorate. Sometimes the signs of their failing condition aren’t visible to the naked eyes. A proper electrical inspection can identify the electrical installations that need to be fixed, thus minimizing any future risk of costly damage to your home.
• Helps you negotiate better with the seller: Besides ensuring your safety, an electrical check can help you fetch a good price on the property. Once you know the electrical defects, you can negotiate a better price from the seller or ask him/her to make the repairs before you proceed with the purchase. In both cases, you are in a win-win situation.
• Save money in the long run: Faulty home wiring and circuits can increase your utility bills. An electrical safety check will identify electrical defects ( like problems with your electrical wiring or faulty meter) that in future can land you with an uncharacteristically high electricity bill.
