Electrical Safety
Audits
Master-level technical audits and residential inspections engineered to identify hidden risks and ensure total code compliance for your property infrastructure.
Prevention is the Essential Standard of Safety
An electrical safety audit is more than a checklist; it is a master-level diagnostic evaluation of your property's entire electrical backbone. At Bixler Electric Inc, we provide comprehensive technical inspections for families and business owners across Ocean and Monmouth Counties. Whether you are moving into a new home in Toms River or managing an industrial facility in Wall, our audits find the technical failures that standard home inspectors miss.
Hazard Identification: FPE, Zinsco & Legacy Wiring
A primary focus of our audit is the identification of high-risk legacy components. If your home contains a Federal Pacific (FPE) or Zinsco panel, or utilizes ungrounded cloth wiring, your structure is at a significantly higher risk for an electrical fire. These legacy units are notorious for failing to trip during overloads. We provide the documented findings required by New Jersey insurance carriers to facilitate a priority electrical panel upgrade, securing your property value and family's safety.
Real Estate & Insurance Compliance
Navigating a real estate closing in towns like Manasquan or Bay Head often hinges on a clean electrical sub-code status. We specialize in pre-sale residential safety inspections and post-inspection repair lists. We verify that GFCI and AFCI protection is properly installed and that your ground wire installation and bonding meet current NEC standards, satisfying both township inspectors and meticulous buyers.
Commercial & Industrial Site Audits
For our commercial partners, an electrical audit is a vital part of risk mitigation. We conduct specialized inspections for retail spaces, office build-outs, and warehouses to verify three-phase power stability. In industrial environments, we prioritize hazardous location wiring checks and thermal diagnostics to prevent the downtime that hemorrhages revenue, ensuring compliance with OSHA and municipal safety sub-codes.

Audit & Inspection FAQ
Why does my insurance company require an inspection?
Insurance carriers use electrical audits to assess fire risk. If your home has outdated panels (like FPE or Zinsco) or ungrounded wiring, they may require a certified inspection to maintain coverage.
What is the difference between an audit and a home inspection?
A standard home inspection is a visual overview. A Bixler technical audit involves opening panels, testing load balance, and verifying ground integrity to find hidden hazards that visual checks miss.
How often should I have an audit?
For residential properties, we recommend an audit every 3 to 5 years. Commercial and industrial facilities should be audited annually or after any significant machinery expansion.
