Electric Inspection

Need an electrical inspection?

Contact your municipality first  In 2004, Pennsylvania adopted a new set of statewide building codes, or Uniform Construction Code (UCC), which changes the way electrical inspections are conducted. Electrical inspectors are certified by the state. Any inspector certified by the state also meets Adams Electric's requirements. Under this system, some municipalities may designate who will provide code inspections for the area they govern.

Adams Electric Cooperative advises its members and local contractors to check with the municipality in which an electrical inspection is needed for a list of approved electrical inspectors.

An inspector needs to have a Code 13 to do residential electrical inspections or a Code 19 to do commercial/industrial inspections. If an inspector has a Code 19, he or she is qualified to do residential electrical inspections as well as commercial/industrial electrical inspections. The Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry maintains a Web site with more information and a list of approved electrical inspectors.
