About this page
This page reports on a surge in fraudulent inspection scams targeting electrical panels (distribution boards). According to the National Consumer Affairs Center, complaints in fiscal 2025 reached 6,088 cases, a 156-fold increase from 39 cases two years prior. Unscrupulous operators visit homes, inspect panels, and create alarm about fire hazards from leakage, then demand payment for unnecessary repairs. As authorities cracked down on roof-inspection scams, fraudsters shifted focus to panels. Over 55% of victims found contractors through online advertisements. Recommended preventive measures include avoiding unsolicited inspections, obtaining multiple quotes, and consulting management companies before hiring contractors.
