What Do Electrical Items on an Inspection Report Mean?
Home inspectors and city inspectors write short notes like "double tap at main panel" or "open splice in attic." They point to real safety issues. A double tap means two wires share a breaker terminal built for only one. An open splice means someone joined wires outside a box, where a loose connection can start a fire unseen. Missing knockouts leave holes in the panel cover. Reversed polarity puts the hot wire where the neutral belongs. Other common notes include missing GFCI protection, ungrounded three-prong outlets and missing bonding on water or gas pipes. Each item has a specific fix in the National Electrical Code. Reading the report correctly is the first step toward a quick, clean repair.
Common Report Items
- Double-tapped breakers
- Open splices and missing boxes
- Missing panel knockouts
- Reversed polarity
- Missing GFCI or bonding
How We Do It
Repairs Judged by an Inspector's Standard
Our team includes an ICC Certified Commercial Electrical Inspector, so we look at your home the way the person checking our work will. We go through the report line by line, confirm each item on site, and look nearby for problems the report missed. Neutrals that share a terminal get separated, because NEC 408.41 calls for each grounded conductor to have its own terminal. Splices get moved into covered junction boxes as NEC 300.15 requires. We close unused openings, correct polarity, add GFCI protection and fix bonding. We hold City of Philadelphia contractor license #37352 and pull permits where the repairs require them. When we finish, you get a written list matching each report item to the fix we made.
How We Work the Report
- Confirm each item on site
- Check nearby for missed issues
- Fix to the specific NEC section
- Permit where required
- Item-by-item repair letter
Why It Pays Off
Keep Your Sale or Renovation on Schedule
Electrical items on an inspection report can slow down a sale fast. Buyers ask for repairs or credits, lenders want proof, and closing dates don't move. A clear repair letter that matches each item to a completed fix gives everyone what they need. For renovations, a failed city or township inspection can stall drywall, flooring and every trade waiting behind it. We schedule correction work fast and meet the inspector for the re-check. If you are buying, we can also review the report before you negotiate, so you know which items are quick fixes and which ones point to bigger work like a panel replacement or rewiring. Electrical Hazards, Inc. puts that in writing, so your agent has something solid to negotiate with.
Who We Help
- Home sellers before closing
- Buyers during negotiation
- Landlords after a rental inspection

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a double tap?
It is two wires under one breaker screw built for a single wire. The connection can loosen and overheat, so each wire needs its own terminal or a proper pigtail.
Do inspection repairs need a permit?
Some do and some don't. Panel work and new circuits usually need one. Simple device swaps often do not. We tell you which items need a permit before we start.
Can you work from the inspector's report alone?
We price from the report, then confirm each item on site. Sometimes the cause is different from what the report suggests.
How fast can repairs be done?
It depends on the list. Many reports are a one or two day job. We schedule around your closing date when we know it.
Will you write up what you fixed?
Yes. You get a written list that matches each report item to the repair we made, ready for your agent or buyer.
