What to know about Electrical inspections
Three completely different things get called an electrical inspection in the United States, and homeowners routinely buy one when they needed another. The first is the jurisdiction's inspection, which exists because a permit exists: an official employed by the state or the city looks at permitted work against the code edition in force there and either releases it or writes corrections. The second is the electrical portion of a home inspection at a sale, which is a visual survey of readily accessible components by a generalist. The third is a diagnostic evaluation by a licensed electrician, who opens things, tests circuits and writes a scope of work.

Prices depend on the details of your project. We only publish price ranges when they’re backed by real LokalMatch quote data or reliable sources. Until then, here’s what usually changes the price:
- Type and amount of work, from a single fixture to a full rewire
- Condition and age of the existing wiring
- Panel and service capacity
- Distance from the panel to the new circuit
- Access through finished walls and ceilings
- Permits and inspections
How to choose electricians in Franklin
- Hire a licensed electrician or electrical contractor for any wiring, panel or new circuit work.
- Ask whether the work needs a permit and inspection, and make sure the electrician arranges it.
- Get a written quote that lists fixtures, materials, patching of walls and ceilings, and permit costs.
- For panel upgrades and EV chargers, ask them to check whether your electrical service can handle the added load.
- Choose someone who explains what they found in plain language before starting.
Questions to ask electricians before you hire
- Are you licensed for electrical work in my area?
- Will you get the permit and arrange the inspection?
- Can my current panel and service handle this work?
- Will you need to open walls or ceilings, and who patches them afterwards?
- Is the price fixed, or could it change once you see the existing wiring?
- What warranty do you offer on your work?
Electrical inspection permits in Tennessee
Some electrical inspection work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.
Licensing in Tennessee
Electrical work
The Limited Licensed Electrician covers work under a per-project value the Board sets, and is only required of electricians working in a municipality that uses the Division of Fire Prevention for permits or inspections. The Board tells applicants to check with the local government first, because many cities have their own licensing requirement for permits and inspections.

This type of work often has to be done by a licensed or certified trade. Ask to see licences and proof of insurance before work starts.
