Default residential electrical wiring in older home

Not sure how it works in the OP's area, but no home inspector that I've
seen is going to remove the cover to the breaker panel and/or a recep
cover plate. All they can do is plug in a tester and make sure that all
the right lights light up.



About 7 years ago I bought a house and the inspector took off the breaker
panel cover to check the wiring. I watched him do it and then he went
around with the plug in tester .
I did not have to have the house inspected, but I thought it was a good
idea. I was not worried about the small things he found, but needed to see
if anything major need work.
This was in the middle of North Carolina.
