The electrical final, or trim-out, checks the finished work: devices and fixtures installed and working, GFCI and AFCI protection tested, polarity and grounding verified, smoke and CO alarms interconnected and tested, and the panel cover and directory finished. This checklist walks all of it and records the voltage at the panel.
