Inspection of the electrical system is an important part of the home inspection process. If the home is old, there could be deteriorated unsafe electrical wiring.
The above
photo taken during a home inspection shows electrical wiring in the electrical service panel that has deteriorated outdated unsafe insulation on the electrical wiring; the home inspector should remove the cover
on the electrical service panel to inspect the wiring.
This is an important reason why home buyers should retain the services of a licensed Professional Engineer to conduct their home inspection rather
than a non-engineer inspector (whether or not the inspector holds a license as a home inspector or not).
