ElectricalPass: Manufacturer-Authorized Installation Certification + Inspection Service

A physical inspection kit + certification program where DIYers complete a 20-minute in-home inspection by a trained technician (sent to their location), who verifies their breaker panel installation against code and manufacturer specs, then issues a signed inspection report that homeowners can submit to their local building department or insurance company. The kit includes a calibrated voltage tester, wire gauge checker, and a checklist card specific to their panel model. Technicians are trained electricians working on commission; the company partners with major breaker manufacturers (Square D, Siemens, GE) for co-branding and liability coverage.

33 weeks • 70% confidence

Value Proposition

Beats hiring a full electrician ($300–500, 2–4 hour visit) because inspection is 20 min and costs $75–120. Beats submitting work to the city inspector because you avoid permit fees ($150–400) and scheduling delays (2–4 weeks). Beats manufacturer hotlines because a technician physically verifies your work in real-time, not over the phone. Manufacturer partnership means the report carries weight with insurers and building departments.

Target Audience

DIYers who've completed electrical work and need official verification for permit/inspection purposes (typically after a DIY breaker installation); homeowners with older panels seeking insurance documentation; home flippers and contractors needing quick, affordable inspections.

Key Features

  • Physical inspection kit (voltage tester, wire gauge checker, torque wrench for breaker screws, laminated checklist card for their specific panel model)
  • 30-min in-home inspection by trained technician (booked via app, same-week availability in major metros)
  • Signed inspection report with photos, specific code references (NEC 2020/2023), and manufacturer compliance notes
  • And more, with full implementation detail...

Tech Stack

React or Vue.js frontend (booking calendar, payment, report viewer) Node.js or Python backend (technician management, scheduling, report generation) Postgres for relational data (users, technicians, inspections, reports) Stripe for payments and payouts

Original Problem

Homeowners and DIYers struggle with electrical installation safety and correctness

DIYers attempting electrical work like breaker installation face confusion about proper wire insertion techniques, creating risk of fire hazards, equipment damage, or failed inspections. Current solutions (manufacturer manuals, generic YouTube videos) lack specific visual guidance for their exact equipment model, forcing people to guess or hire expensive electricians for simple tasks.
