Hello all, I am by no means an electrician, but I do have a question. I am in the process of looking to buy a house, and my realitor had said that once we find a house I like, to get a 15 Point Safety Inspection. I called the electrical company that she suggested, but they really didn't explain what all was done. My question is this.

1. What would ALL be tested in this inspection (as much detail as possible please, remember I am not an electrician)For all of you electrical contractors, if I were to have called about this, what would your list include?
2. Is this really needed in buying a newer home, meaning, is this just a marketing thing with the realitor and electrical company?
3. If I do decide to have this inspection, what would be a reasonable price to pay (Seattle Washington area)

I could see if I was buying an older home, but don't want to be taken advantage of.

Thank you to all that take the time to reply
Jason
