What matters in McLean
A McLean electrical inspection should be no broader than the buyer, seller, or homeowner decision it needs to support. Defining the electrical question prevents a targeted service from being mistaken for a whole-home inspection.

Property-specific answers
Local questions
Can a McLean inspection cover more than one panel?
Yes, when each panel and the related circuits are identified in the agreed electrical scope and can be accessed. The report makes clear which equipment and devices were examined and which areas were unavailable or excluded.
What makes a McLean finding different from a next step?
A finding records an observed condition or test result under stated access and operating conditions. A next step explains possible further evaluation, monitoring, or corrective work; it is listed separately and is not presented as an additional unobserved defect.
