What’s the difference between an underwriter and an electrical inspection agency?
An underwriter and an electrical inspection agency serve different roles in ensuring the safety and compliance of electrical systems, but they are part of the larger process of risk management and regulatory compliance. Here’s how they differ:
Underwriter
A certified electrical underwriter in Philadelphia assesses the risks associated with insuring or financing a property, project, or electrical installation. They evaluate the potential risks of insuring electrical systems or structures and determine the appropriate terms, premiums, or coverage limits. Underwriters also look at the broader picture, including the quality of electrical systems, building codes, and general safety to assess liability. They might rely on reports from electrical inspection agencies or certified inspectors.
Electrical Inspection Agency
An electrical inspection agency is responsible for examining and verifying that electrical installations meet safety standards, building codes, and regulatory requirements. They conduct on-site inspections of wiring, fixtures, and electrical systems to ensure everything complies with national, state, or local electrical codes. They issue certifications or reports on whether a residential electrical system is safe and code-compliant. Their work is highly technical, focusing specifically on the electrical components of a building or project to ensure it’s safe to operate and free from hazards.
What does it mean to be a “certified” electrical underwriter?
In order to perform an electrical inspection in Delaware County, Chester County, or other areas, certified underwriters must maintain their approval through the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and local municipalities. At A-1 Electric, we have received approval from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania after meeting the many stringent requirements set forth by the Department of Labor & Industry and from your building department. We have an agency number certificate that recognizes our company as an accredited third-party agency and a trusted electrical inspector for PECO customers.
Credentials matter in the world of residential and commercial electrical services. For the protection of your property, never hire electrical contractors who do not possess the proper certifications and credentials provided by local Authorities Having Jurisdiction and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
