I read this resent posting nov. 2, alum trailer wiring and came across a mention of a service maintenance agreement.I Think this would be a good service to offer.I do work for a property managment company that takes care of second homes.I think I can provide a program to inspect homes. 1) take panel cover off and check all connections.2)Test all GFIs and AFCIs.3)look for any broken or warn out electrical devices.4)supply report card.2 to 3 hour service for $200.00 plus materials.hoping this would lead to more work.Providing peace of mind.Can anyone add too this please

Considering the fact that home inspectors often charge between 200 and 300 bucks to "inspect" the entire home, you might have a tough time building value in that service. Not that it doesn't have merit, but that is one immediate customer objection that I can think of that you'll need to overcome.

I would also consider errors and omissions insurance coverage. And have a real attorney draw up a formal contract form for this endeavor, so you don't find out the hard way if there are any big pitfalls in doing this.
