Find the electrical problems. Know what it will take to fix them.
Chesbro Electric provides private electrical safety and condition assessments for homes, businesses, rural properties and real-estate transactions. We document identified concerns and provide an estimate for corrective electrical work—so you can plan the next step.
Why request an electrical assessment?

Some issues are visible; others need appropriate troubleshooting or testing. We work through the agreed inspection scope, explain concerns in practical terms and give you a repair estimate for identified issues that require correction.

What the service includes
Inspection findings plus an estimate to make corrections.
1. Review the agreed scopeInspect accessible areas and electrical systems using appropriate visual review and testing for the requested assessment.
2. Identify and document issuesDescribe identified concerns, priority and recommendations. Include relevant NEC references or other requirements when applicable.
3. Estimate corrective electrical workProvide a written scope and cost estimate to address the identified issues, subject to concealed conditions, access, material availability and required permits.
Scope and authority matter: This is a private contractor assessment, not a government, insurance or official inspection certificate. It does not replace required permits, state/local inspections, AHJ decisions or any specialist testing that falls outside the agreed scope. Existing installations are evaluated in their historical context rather than assumed to need a complete code upgrade solely because rules were revised.
2026 National Electrical Code
Current code knowledge, applied to the actual property.
The 2026 National Electrical Code (NEC/NFPA 70) is the current edition and became effective statewide in Wyoming on July 1, 2026. We use applicable code provisions, jurisdictional requirements and the specific installation context when assessing electrical conditions.
We distinguish: observed safety concerns, applicable violations, current upgrade requirements and recommendations that may improve reliability but are not necessarily mandated retroactively.
Wyoming electrical safety and adopted codes ↗Private electrical assessments
Not the authority having jurisdiction.
Chesbro Electric's private inspections do not issue occupancy permits, official wiring approvals or replace final inspections performed by the applicable state or local authority.
Our goal is to help you understand the electrical work that may be needed, and what Chesbro would propose to correct it.
Inspection questions
Clear expectations before you schedule.
Will I receive an estimate to repair identified problems?
Yes. Our private inspection offering includes a corrective-work estimate for identified electrical issues. Site access, concealed work and findings requiring further diagnosis may affect the final repair scope or price.
Does this replace a state electrical inspection?
No. This is a private contractor's electrical condition assessment, not an official inspection by the state, municipality or other authority having jurisdiction. Required permits and official inspections are separate.
Does every older electrical installation need to meet every new 2026 NEC rule?
No. Whether existing electrical equipment requires changes depends on the original installation, safety conditions, applicable code and any renovation or other events that trigger current rules. We assess the actual circumstances.
Can you assess a commercial building or ranch shop?
We can evaluate an agreed scope for many commercial and agricultural properties, including accessible service equipment, distribution, wiring and equipment connections. Specialized equipment and large systems may require additional coordination.
