Your correction planner
Choose what brought you here. Get a useful starting point and a short list of what to share with your electrician.
We’ll review the cited items, check the conditions on site, and confirm the required corrections with the appropriate permit office.
What we’ll checkWe’ll match the report to the actual installation, identify safety concerns, and separate required corrections from optional improvements.
Required inspection approval comes from the local authority. We coordinate the applicable permit and inspection steps and provide records for the work completed.
This planner helps you prepare for a conversation. Site conditions and the local authority determine the required scope, permits, and approvals.
The findings, in plain English
Here’s what common electrical findings mean—and how we approach the correction.
A three-slot receptacle alone does not prove there is a working equipment ground. We evaluate the circuit and explain the appropriate correction.
GFCI protection does not add an equipment ground. Where a replacement approach is allowed, required protection and labeling still matter; the existing wiring determines the options.
Two different protections: GFCI helps reduce ground-fault shock risk; AFCI helps reduce certain electrical fire risks from arcing.
We check the location, circuit, existing protection, and applicable work requirements before recommending devices. One protection does not automatically replace the other.
Loose or improper connections, damaged equipment, missing covers, and questionable breaker installations deserve a closer look.
Two conductors at one terminal are not automatically a violation. We check the terminal’s listing, conductor requirements, and the actual installation. Repair or replacement depends on the findings.
Exposed splices, missing covers, damaged cable, or crowded boxes can leave connections inadequately protected.
We evaluate enclosure size, accessibility, covers, and cable condition as part of the repair scope. Do not remove covers or approach exposed conductors to get photos.
An older house, finished basement, or addition may need a focused assessment of the work and its condition.
We distinguish existing conditions from new repair or alteration requirements. The age of a house alone does not establish that the entire electrical system needs replacement.
A past project with unclear permit history needs a review of the known work, available records, and local requirements.
We confirm the property’s jurisdiction and discuss any required permit or inspection path with the local office. The authority determines whether further investigation or corrections are necessary.
Local knowledge matters
A sound correction plan starts with the property, the work, and the rules that apply to both.
Virginia’s adopted building codes and electrical standards guide the work. We confirm the applicable requirements and any permit conditions for the project.
Existing-building rules, installation history, unsafe conditions, and the scope of new work matter. We assess the actual issue before recommending a repair or upgrade.
The City of Falls Church has its own process. A Falls Church mailing address may be outside City limits, so we confirm the jurisdiction before planning permit work.
From the first call to the work record
You should know what needs attention, what the work includes, and what happens after the repair.
We read the notice or report, confirm your address, and assess the installation. Safety concerns and time-sensitive items come first.
You receive the proposed corrections and price before repairs begin. We confirm permits, access, and inspection needs for the agreed work.
Our licensed electrical team performs the work under our Master Electrician. If conditions change the scope, we explain the next step.
We coordinate required inspections or re-inspections and provide the work record and applicable permit documentation. Approval rests with the local authority.

Questions, answered
Answers to common questions about electrical code corrections, inspection reports, permits, and older homes.
Talk through your reportElectrical code correction addresses specific installation deficiencies under the requirements that apply to the property and work. It can include panel and breaker connections, grounding and bonding, GFCI or AFCI protection, wiring enclosures, and permit-related corrections. PRO Electric plus HVAC reviews the findings, defines the repair scope, performs the agreed work, and coordinates required permits and inspections.
The price depends on the number and type of findings, access to the wiring, equipment needed, and permit or inspection requirements. A device repair and a panel or service correction have very different scopes. Share your report and address so we can assess the work and provide an estimate before repairs begin.
Not necessarily. A private home inspection may identify a safety concern, maintenance issue, recommended upgrade, or suspected code issue. A city or county notice is an official enforcement document. We review the actual finding and installation, and confirm applicable requirements with the local authority when needed.
Not automatically. Existing conditions, safety issues, the original installation, and the scope of repairs or alterations all matter. Virginia has requirements for existing buildings as well as new construction. We evaluate the specific work and any required corrections instead of assuming the entire home needs to be rewired.
Yes. When the agreed work requires a permit, we handle the applicable electrical permit and coordinate required inspections or re-inspections. We also provide documentation of the completed work. Inspection approval is determined by the local authority, and access or scheduling requirements are confirmed for the project.
The property’s actual jurisdiction determines the permit office; a Falls Church mailing address alone is not enough. Properties inside the City of Falls Church use the City’s permit process. Properties outside the City use the relevant county or independent city. We confirm the jurisdiction from your service address.
Yes. Share the complete notice or electrical inspection findings and your deadline when you contact us. We review the scope, equipment availability, access, and any permit or inspection steps before confirming a schedule. A closing date or deadline cannot be guaranteed from the report alone.
You receive a record of the work completed and the applicable permit and inspection records for permitted work. Tell us early if a buyer, insurer, property manager, or local official has requested particular documentation so we can clarify what is included in the scope.
PRO Electric plus HVAC is bonded and insured and holds Virginia Electrical and HVAC Contractor License 2705181607. Our Master Electrician oversees correction work. Active duty military and veterans can ask about the 5% electrical service discount, and financing is available on request.
