Safety & Code Compliance
Electrical inspections are more than routine checkups — they’re critical for protecting your home and family. Castro Electric ensures that every part of your system aligns with current Massachusetts Electrical Code and National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements.
We look for:
- Improper wiring connections
- Missing or outdated GFCI and AFCI protection
- Overloaded circuits or panels
- Loose or corroded terminals
- Unpermitted work or safety hazards
If we find any safety issues, we’ll explain them clearly and outline the steps needed for correction — no surprises, no pressure.
