FHA and the Electricity Guidelines for your Home!

If you have ever done an FHA loan, you know that FHA has very specific things they are looking for when checking out the electricity. FHA and electricity do work together….well maybe they do and maybe they don’t. What does your inspector say?




The last thing you want to worry about when you buy your home, is whether or not your electricity is working properly. In order to make sure that you aren’t in a complete lemon, FHA electricity guidelines state that a single main shut-off breaker should exist. If more than one breaker has to be tripped to disconnected power, then the service panel must be replaced.



FHA electricity guidelines were put into place to help you get the most from your new home. The inspector is there to see if there are any problems, not to work against you. However, if you feel like there is a challenge, you need to bring it up right then and there. There is nothing wrong with asking questions, and it’s essential to making sure that you get what you need from your new home.
