Electrical home safety inspection notes

Electric Closeout is built for commercial commissioning closeout, but the same discipline helps anyone documenting an electrical safety inspection: one entry per panel or circuit group, the same checks on each, and open items that are easy to find.

What to record for each panel or circuit group

• A clear ID, such as Main panel or Garage subpanel.
• Whether terminal torque was verified to the manufacturer's values.
• The insulation-resistance reading in MΩ, where testing is performed.
• Phase rotation, where it applies, and whether labeling is complete.
• A note for anything corrected, with the re-test record attached to that entry.

Who should perform the inspection

Electrical inspections and testing should be done by a qualified electrician or licensed inspector, following the adopted code and the authority having jurisdiction. Electric Closeout records results; it does not tell you whether an installation is safe.

Any system with a failed check stays held, and any missing entry keeps the record incomplete, so nothing is released by accident.
