This lesson will instruct you on how to inspect the electrical systems of a home. It includes an overview of 2 different types of old -and unsafe- wiring methods, the Knob and Tube method used pre-1930 and Aluminum wiring. If either of these types of electrical systems are in the house, it is recommended that they be replaced immediately by a licensed electrician.

In addition, you will learn to do a general inspection of the electrical system, including circuit boxes and cover plates, the service connection, the breaker or fuse box, the main power breaker, electrical grounding, GFCI outlets or breakers, the air conditioning and heating units, and water heaters.
