Whole-Home Electrical Inspection

Most homeowners have no idea what's happening inside their walls — a thorough inspection changes that.

Most homes carry electrical work from multiple eras — original wiring from when the house was built, additions made by previous owners, repairs done by contractors of varying skill levels, and the occasional DIY fix that made sense at the time but doesn't meet code. Individually, any one of those things might be fine. Together, they can create a system with gaps, outdated components, and safety issues that nobody has looked at in years. A whole-home electrical inspection gives you a clear, honest picture of where your electrical system stands right now. Kevin Johnson has been assessing residential electrical systems in Casper, WY for over 35 years. He knows what to look for, where to find it, and how to explain what he finds in plain language without turning every observation into a sales pitch for unnecessary work.

A thorough electrical inspection covers the panel first — checking for correct breaker sizing, proper wiring connections, signs of overheating, outdated components, and available capacity. From there, Kevin works through the home's circuits, outlets, switches, and fixtures — looking for ungrounded receptacles, missing GFCI protection where code requires it, improperly spliced connections in junction boxes, and wiring conditions that indicate a problem or a potential one. He checks visible wiring in accessible spaces like attics, crawl spaces, and unfinished basements where issues are most commonly found and least often seen. The result is a straightforward assessment of what's in good shape, what needs attention now, and what should be monitored going forward.

A whole-home electrical inspection is most commonly requested before buying a home, after purchasing an older property, or when a homeowner simply hasn't had the system looked at in a long time. If you're in Casper, Glenrock, Douglas, Mills, or the surrounding Wyoming area and you want to know what your electrical system actually looks like, call (307) 258-6849. Kevin gives you a straight assessment — not a list of work designed to pad an invoice.

What We Offer:

Electrical Panel Assessment — Evaluating the main panel for correct breaker sizing, proper wire connections, signs of overheating or corrosion, outdated or recalled components, and available capacity for future circuits or loads.
Circuit & Wiring Evaluation — Checking the home's branch circuits for correct wire sizing, proper grounding, AFCI and GFCI protection where required by current code, and signs of overloading or damage throughout the system.
Outlet & Switch Inspection — Testing outlets for correct wiring, proper grounding, functioning GFCI protection in required locations, and identifying ungrounded two-prong receptacles that should be addressed for safety or code compliance.
Visible Wiring Condition Assessment — Inspecting accessible wiring in attics, crawl spaces, unfinished basements, and garages for deterioration, improper splices, missing junction box covers, and other conditions that indicate a safety concern.
Smoke & CO Detector Placement Review — Verifying that smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are present, correctly placed per current residential code requirements, and functioning — flagging locations where coverage is missing or inadequate.
Pre-Purchase Electrical Inspection — Providing a thorough electrical assessment for buyers purchasing an older home in the Casper area, giving them a clear picture of the electrical system's condition before closing on the property.

Why Choose Aspen Grove Electric for Smoke & CO Detector Installation

35 Years of Knowing What to Look For — An electrical inspection is only as good as the experience behind it. Kevin has spent 35 years working inside homes throughout Casper and the surrounding Wyoming area. He knows where problems hide, what conditions indicate a larger issue, and what's genuinely worth flagging versus what's normal for a home of a given age.
Honest Assessment, Not a Sales Pitch — Some contractors approach inspections as an opportunity to generate repair work. Kevin approaches them as an opportunity to give you accurate information. If the system is in reasonable shape, that's what you hear. If something needs attention, it gets explained clearly — what it is, why it matters, and what it takes to correct it.
Covers the Full System Thoroughly — Aspen Grove Electric's whole-home inspection covers the panel, branch circuits, outlets, switches, visible wiring, and safety devices — not just a quick look at the breaker box. The goal is to give you a complete picture of the system, not a partial one that misses the issues most likely to cause problems.
Especially Valuable for Older Casper Homes — Homes in Casper and the surrounding Wyoming area span a wide range of ages. Older homes frequently have electrical systems that have never been fully evaluated — original wiring, additions made without permits, and repairs done without professional oversight. A thorough inspection on an older home is one of the most valuable electrical investments a homeowner can make.
Clear Documentation of Findings — After the inspection, you get a straightforward account of what Kevin found — organized by what needs immediate attention, what should be addressed when budget allows, and what's in acceptable condition. That gives you a usable reference point whether you're planning repairs, negotiating a home purchase, or simply establishing a baseline for your property.
