Who is responsible for inspecting mobile homes for modifications of electrical circuits?

The responsibility for inspecting mobile homes for modifications of electrical circuits primarily rests with factory assembled structures. This means that the manufacturer of these structures must adhere to specific codes and standards during construction, which include proper electrical installations. When alterations or modifications are made to the electrical systems of these homes, inspection is necessary to ensure safety and compliance with local codes.

This process is particularly essential given the unique construction and installation methods used for mobile homes, as they often have different guidelines compared to traditional site-built homes. Factory assembled structures are tasked with ensuring that any electrical modifications meet the necessary safety standards, ultimately protecting homeowners and occupants.

In this context, while electrical contractors and local building departments play important roles in electrical work and safety inspections in general, it is the manufacturers and those who operate in conjunction with factory assembly that have the foremost obligation for inspection when it comes to modifications to electrical systems in mobile homes.
