What's TSANB's typical re-inspection fee in NB?

TSANB's re-inspection fees are not something I can quote with confidence, as fee schedules can change and vary by project type — and giving you a wrong number here could lead to budget surprises.

For the most accurate, up-to-date re-inspection fee information, your best options are:

What I can tell you is that re-inspections are typically triggered when work fails the initial inspection — meaning something wasn't completed to the Canadian Electrical Code as adopted in New Brunswick. Common reasons include improper GFCI placement, missing tamper-resistant receptacles in new construction, incorrect wire gauges, or work that wasn't ready at the time of the scheduled inspection.

The best way to avoid a re-inspection fee entirely is to work with a licensed NB electrician who knows TSANB's requirements inside and out. A good electrician will ensure the work is inspection-ready before calling for the inspection, which saves both time and money.

If you're in the middle of a project and ran into an inspection issue, it's worth having a frank conversation with your electrician about what failed and who is responsible for the cost of the re-inspection — that's a reasonable question to ask before work begins.
