Certificate of Occupancy/Inspection

Electrical Inspections for Certificate of Occupancy in Hamilton, NJ

Whether you're selling a home, preparing a rental property, or completing a renovation, Hamilton Township requires an electrical inspection before issuing a Certificate of Occupancy. Borges Electric handles the full process—from the initial assessment to coordinating with the local inspector and completing any necessary corrections.

We work with homeowners, landlords, real estate agents, and contractors throughout Hamilton to ensure properties meet current NJ electrical code. Our inspections are thorough, our reports are clear, and we stay on-site to answer the inspector's questions.

What We Inspect

• Service panels and breakers – proper labeling, capacity, and condition
• Grounding and bonding – ensuring safe fault paths
• GFCI and AFCI protection – required in kitchens, baths, bedrooms, and other areas per code
• Wiring condition – no exposed splices, damaged insulation, or overloaded circuits
• Smoke and CO detector wiring – hardwired units where required
• Outdoor and garage outlets – weather resistance and proper protection

Why Hamilton Properties Fail Inspections

Most failures are straightforward fixes:

• Missing GFCI or AFCI breakers in updated code areas
• Improper panel labeling or double-tapped breakers
• Ungrounded outlets or missing bonding jumpers
• Exposed wiring or junction boxes without covers
• Outdated knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring

We identify these issues before the township inspector arrives, complete repairs on the spot when possible, and schedule re-inspection once everything is corrected.
