Home Electrical Inspection

The master bathroom and guest bathroom do not have GFCI protected outlets or circuit protection at the electric panel.

The presence of a battery operated smoke detector system was noted because the mounting brackets are in place but the smoke detectors are not. I highly recommend series hardwired system with battery backup.

The kitchen outlets do not have grounded receptacles in place and none of the kitchen outlets were protected by GFCI. I recommend the installation of a ground wire to the existing circuit and an additional new circuit be installed then installing GFCI outlets as needed.

In the utility room there is a variety of electrical conditions that I highly recommend be corrected.
1. Install a locknut on the water heater power supply flex connector.
2. Install larger junction boxes and add any required circuits. There is at least one instance where spliced wire sizes do not match in a junction box.
3. Remove abandoned wiring and install loose wiring into junction boxes as required.
4. Replace crimp splices with approved wire connectors.

Areas of romex that are loose or anchored using bent nails should be corrected using approved romex staples.

This deck area would benefit from an outside light fixture or two providing safety and security.
