• The means for disconnecting the service main.
• And describe the service disconnect amperage rating, if labeled.
• The panelboards and overcurrent devices (breakers and fuses).
• A representative number of switches, lighting fixtures and receptacles, including receptacles viewed and deemed to be AFCI-protected during the inspection.
• And test all ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) receptacles and GFCI circuit breakers observed and deemed to be GFCIs.

We will report on:

• The presence of solid conductor aluminum branch circuit wiring, if readily visible.
• Any tested receptacles in which power was not present, the polarity was incorrect, the receptacle was not grounded or secured to the wall, the cover was not in place, the GFCI devices were not properly installed or did not operate properly, and evidence of arcing or excessive heat.
