Why an Electrical Safety Inspection Is Required.

In Miami-Dade and Broward, an electrical safety inspection is a core part of the building recertification a structure must pass at the 30-year mark — 25 years within three miles of the coast — and again every ten years after. The electrical portion exists because aging services, corroded panels, and overloaded circuits are among the most common causes of structural fires and life-safety hazards in older South Florida buildings. A Florida Professional Engineer must evaluate the system, document deficiencies, and seal a report stating whether the building is electrically safe for continued occupancy. The same scan also satisfies the BORA-mandated infrared thermography requirement when the service is 400 amperes or larger.

Electrical Safety Inspection Cost.

A standalone electrical safety inspection starts at $1,300, sealed by a Florida Professional Engineer. The final price depends on the building's size, electrical service, and unit count, and on the scope required for a 30 year or 40 year recertification. The inspection price does not include repairs, plans, designs, permits, or government fees.

• Note on permits — if the home electrical meter was removed and you need re-installation, an electrical inspection permit will be needed, and the services of an electrical contractor should be used for repairs.
• Pricing disclaimer — the initial electrical safety inspection price does not include repairs, plans, designs, permits, or government fees.

Scope of Electrical Inspection.

The purpose of the required electrical safety inspection and report is to confirm in reasonable fashion that the building or structure and all habitable and non-habitable areas are safe for continued use. This is a recommendation procedure and does not supplant proper professional judgment. We evaluate the following components.

• Electric service (size, phases) — type of service, size of amperage, phases (three or single), and protection method (fuses or breakers).
• Meter and electrical room (clearance) — ensure sufficient clearance for equipment and servicemen.
• Gutters and electrical panels — check condition, corrosion, proper covers, and open spaces.
• Branch circuits — identification, evaluation of conductors (proper color, size), double taps, overfusing, tripping, and loose wiring.
• Grounding — proper grounding of the service and equipment (e.g., emergency generator, elevator motor).
• Service conduit raceways and conductors — check all wiring methods for erosion, dents, chafing, and proper current load.
• Safety devices — GFCI outlets, emergency lighting, egress illumination, fire alarm, smoke detectors (according to local code when the property was built vs. current code).
• Special systems — emergency generator, wiring in parking areas, lighting in parking areas, swimming pool wiring, wiring of mechanical equipment, surge protection.

What the Findings Mean for Your Report.

Each deficiency is documented with its location, the code section it implicates, and a recommended corrective action, so the building official and your electrician know exactly what must be addressed. Minor items — a missing panel cover, an unlabeled circuit — are typically corrected before the report is finalized. Serious findings, such as an undersized service, failed grounding, or a panel with burned or overheated connections found during the infrared scan, are flagged for repair by a licensed electrical contractor and re-inspected before the recertification is approved. Because the engineer of record is licensed in electrical, each finding is classified with engineering judgment rather than a checklist, which is what the Board of Rules and Appeals expects.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Does the power need to be on during the inspection?

Yes. The service and panels must stay energized and under load so the engineer can verify operation and capture heat signatures during the infrared thermography portion; we follow NFPA 70E arc-flash safety throughout.

Can one professional inspect and seal the report?

Yes. Our engineer of record is a Florida P.E. licensed in electrical, so one professional evaluates the system, classifies each finding, and seals the report — no outside sign-off required.

Is the electrical inspection separate from the structural one?

They are distinct evaluations but are usually delivered together in one recertification package, sealed by the engineer of record.

Sources and Governing Authorities.

This guidance reflects the codes our work is held to, not marketing copy. The inspection is governed by Section 8-11(f) of the Code of Miami-Dade County and the County Board of Rules and Appeals (BORA) Minimum Inspection Guidelines, with electrical findings evaluated against the National Electrical Code (NEC) and NFPA 70B (2023). The engineer of record is verifiable through the Florida Board of Professional Engineers under license #67462. Verify any requirement directly with your municipal building official.
