Electrical Inspection in Dallas–Fort Worth
Your Real Estate Transaction Depends on One Critical Report. Make It Count.
A home’s electrical system powers everything — but when it’s outdated, overloaded, or improperly grounded, it can also be one of the biggest hidden risks. In the Dallas–Fort Worth area, where homes range from historic to newly built, small wiring issues can quickly turn into safety hazards or costly failures.
Sentinel Home Inspections provides detailed electrical inspections for homeowners, buyers, and Realtors — identifying hazards before they cause fires, failures, or failed transactions.

Why Electrical Inspections Are Crucial in DFW Homes
Electrical issues often remain invisible until something goes wrong. Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply maintaining your home, an inspection can prevent expensive surprises.
Common issues we find:
Improperly wired outlets or fixtures
Outdated fuse boxes or aluminum wiring
Breaker panels with missing or mislabeled circuits
Overloaded breakers and double-tapped connections
Ungrounded or reversed polarity outlets
Missing GFCI/AFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, and exterior areas
In older DFW neighborhoods, unpermitted upgrades and inconsistent wiring are especially common — and can derail a sale or insurance claim.
Comprehensive Electrical Inspection Services
Full Electrical System Evaluation
We examine panels, breakers, outlets, fixtures, grounding, and wiring layout to verify safety and performance across the entire system.

Local Expertise That Makes a Difference
Sentinel’s inspectors know the DFW market inside and out — from the slab foundations of Fort Worth to the attic ventilation systems in Frisco. Our deep local knowledge helps identify region-specific issues like:
Foundation shifting due to expansive clay soils
Attic heat buildup and roof deterioration
Drainage and grading problems from heavy storms
Aging HVAC systems common in older Dallas suburbs
We tailor every inspection to the area’s unique housing styles, from historic properties in Arlington Heights to new builds in Prosper.
The Sentinel Shield 360™ Electrical Process
Our advanced Sentinel Shield 360™ process goes beyond basic visual checks. We test, measure, and document every critical component for safety and reliability.
1. Load & Circuit Analysis
We assess breaker capacity, identify overloads, and verify distribution balance throughout the home.
2. Grounding & Bonding Verification
Proper grounding prevents shocks and ensures surge protection works correctly. We confirm all major circuits are properly bonded.
3. Outlet & Fixture Testing
We test polarity, voltage drop, and GFCI response time across key outlets, including kitchens, baths, and exteriors.
4. Thermal Imaging Diagnostics
Infrared scanning reveals overheating connections or wiring defects hidden behind walls or panels.
5. Detailed Reporting
You’ll receive a same-day digital report with annotated photos, circuit readings, and clear recommendations for licensed repair if needed.
Sentinel Shield 360™ turns every inspection into a complete protection system for your investment and peace of mind.
