Planning your electrical system before the building goes up saves you time, money, and headaches down the road.

Pro Tip #304: Electrical Inspection Checklist

Before calling for an electrical inspection, verify: (1) all boxes are covered, (2) all wire is secured every 4.5 feet, (3) all conduit is properly supported, (4) all breakers are labeled, (5) the panel is grounded and bonded. A failed inspection costs time and re-inspection fees.
