Know Your Home Before It Knows You
Most home inspectors give your electrical system a quick look. They check the panel cover. They note obvious issues. Then they move on.
Phase 3 sends a Class A Master Electrician. We test your panel under load. We check every accessible junction. We verify grounding. You get a written report with specific findings, not vague observations.
We serve Newport News, Hampton Roads, and the surrounding areas. We’re A+ rated with the BBB.
We go through your entire system from the service entrance to the outlets.
Our inspection covers the main panel and all sub-panels. We identify problem brands, Federal Pacific, Zinsco, and Stab-Lok. We test breakers and check torque. We verify grounding and bonding. We test every GFCI and AFCI for proper function. We check outlet polarity and ground.
We inspect visible wiring, including knob-and-tube and aluminum branch wiring. We also check smoke and carbon monoxide detector circuits and your exterior service entrance. You receive a written report with photos, findings, and a prioritized list of what needs attention.
Real estate timing matters. We work between offer and closing. If your insurer needs documentation, we provide it. We also recommend inspections after major storms and as a routine check every 25 years for owner-occupied homes.

No. A home inspector is a generalist. They cover roof, plumbing, HVAC, and structure alongside electrical. A Phase 3 inspection is done by a licensed electrician. We open the panel. We test under load. We use the Virginia electrical code as the reference standard.
Yes. We document exactly what is in your home, panel brand, wiring type, and grounding status. We recommend any required remediation. We provide the written report your insurer needs.
Every 10 to 25 years, depending on your home's age. We also recommend an inspection when you buy a property, after a major renovation, after a serious storm, or before adding high-demand equipment like an EV charger.
We tell you on the spot. We explain your options clearly. For non-emergency findings, the written report includes a prioritized fix plan. There is no pressure to hire us for any repairs. The report is yours either way.
