Electrical Inspection & Certification
Buying from abroad, renting out, or worried an installation is unsafe? Electricals Ghana inspects, tests, and certifies — pre-purchase and diaspora inspections, periodic and landlord safety checks, fault and condition reports, and Energy-Commission-compliant certification. Energy-Commission-licensed electricians since 1987.
You cannot certify an installation by looking at it — you have to test it. Electricals Ghana inspects, tests, and certifies electrical installations across Accra: pre-purchase checks for diaspora buyers, periodic and landlord safety inspections, and honest written condition reports — Energy-Commission-licensed electricians since 1987. Call +233 23 063 0022 — tell us what the inspection is for and we will scope it.
Buying From Abroad? Inspect Before You Pay
Buying a property you cannot stand in is where diaspora owners get caught — a house can look finished and still have an undersized board, no proper earthing, or wiring that will fail the first time the full load comes on. Before you commit money, we inspect and test the installation, photograph what we find, and send you a plain written condition report: what is safe, what is undersized or non-compliant, and what is dangerous. That is evidence you can negotiate or walk away on — not a seller’s “it’s all fine”.
What an Inspection & Certification Covers
Pre-Purchase & Diaspora Inspection
A full inspection and test before you buy — board, circuits, earthing, and protection — with a photographed written report so a buyer abroad decides on evidence, not on a verbal assurance from the seller.
Periodic Safety Inspection
Installations age — connections loosen, insulation degrades, loads grow past what the board was built for. A periodic inspection tests the installation and tells you what needs attention before it becomes a fault.
Landlord Safety Check
As a landlord you are responsible for a safe installation. We inspect, test, and report on a tenanted property, certify it where it complies, and document everything — useful when a tenant reports shocks, tripping, or a burning smell.
Fault & Condition Report
A focused inspection of a specific problem — recurring trips, a circuit that fails, suspected earthing or moisture issues — with a written report on the cause and what it will take to put right.
What an Inspection Includes
| We check | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Consumer unit & protection | Whether the board and breakers/RCD actually protect the installation |
| Earthing & bonding | Whether the installation is safe to touch when a fault occurs |
| Insulation resistance | Whether the cabling has degraded or been damaged |
| Circuits & loads | Whether circuits are undersized or overloaded for the use |
| Written condition report | Plainly what is safe, what needs attention, what is dangerous |
How We Run an Inspection
- Agree what it’s for — pre-purchase, periodic, landlord, or a specific fault.
- Inspect and test — board, circuits, earthing, and protection, by measurement.
- Report honestly — a photographed written condition report, safe vs dangerous.
- Certify what complies — Energy-Commission-compliant certification, or the remedy list first.
What It Costs — Honestly
An inspection is priced on survey — a single-fault condition report is not the same job as a full periodic inspection of a large property with outbuildings. We confirm the scope and the price before we start, and the written report is yours regardless of what it finds — never a surprise after.
Licensed & Accountable
- Energy-Commission-licensed electricians (Certified Electrical Wiring Professionals) inspecting and certifying to Ghana’s electrical wiring regulations (L.I. 2008) and the GS 1009:2012 wiring code
- Established 1987 — a real inspector with a named electrician, not a listing
- An honest written report whatever it finds — evidence for diaspora buyers and landlords, not a verbal reassurance

Frequently Asked Questions
I’m buying a house from abroad — can you inspect it before I pay? Yes — we inspect and test the installation, photograph what we find, and send you an honest written condition report: what is safe, what is undersized, and what is dangerous. Evidence to negotiate or walk away on, not a seller’s reassurance.
My tenant says the wiring is unsafe — can you check and certify it? Yes — we run a landlord safety inspection, test the board, circuits, earthing, and RCD protection, give you a written report, and certify where it complies or tell you exactly what to remedy first.
What does the certificate confirm? That, at inspection, the installation was tested and met the safety standard — issued by Energy-Commission Certified Electrical Wiring Professionals to L.I. 2008 and GS 1009:2012. It matters for ECG connection, selling, insuring, and landlord responsibility.
How much does an inspection cost? It’s priced on survey — a single-fault report differs from a full periodic inspection of a large property. We confirm scope and price before we start, and the report is yours regardless of what it finds.
