What's Included in Our Electrical Inspection

Electrical Panel Evaluation

We inspect the main panel for brand (Federal Pacific, Zinsco, etc.), capacity, breaker condition, bus bar connections, signs of overheating, corrosion, and proper labeling.

Wiring Assessment

We identify your wiring type (copper, aluminum, knob-and-tube) and check visible wiring for damage, deterioration, improper splices, and code compliance in accessible areas.

Outlet & Switch Testing

Every accessible outlet is tested for proper voltage (120V), correct polarity, grounding integrity, and GFCI function. Switches are checked for proper operation and secure connections.

GFCI & Smoke Detector Compliance

We verify GFCI protection in all required locations (bathrooms, kitchens, garages, outdoors) and check that smoke detectors are hardwired with battery backup per California code.

Grounding System Check

We verify the home has a proper grounding system -- ground rods, bonding connections, and ground wire continuity -- which is essential for shock protection and surge safety.

Written Inspection Report

You receive a comprehensive written report with photographs documenting all findings, code violations, safety hazards, and prioritized repair recommendations with estimated costs.

When You Need an Electrical Inspection

You are buying a home. A general home inspection covers electrical at a surface level. A dedicated electrical inspection by a licensed C-10 electrician reveals hidden issues like outdated panels, aluminum wiring, improper connections, and missing safety devices that could cost thousands to repair after purchase.
You are selling your home. A pre-listing electrical inspection lets you identify and fix issues before they become negotiation points. A clean inspection report gives buyers confidence and can prevent deal-killing surprises during the buyer's inspection.
Your insurance company requires an inspection. Insurers in California increasingly require electrical inspections for homes over 30 years old, or homes with Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or aluminum wiring. An inspection report from a licensed electrician satisfies this requirement.
Your home is over 25 years old and has never been inspected. Electrical components deteriorate over time. Wiring insulation degrades, connections loosen, and breakers wear out. Homes built before 2000 may lack GFCI protection, AFCI protection, and other modern safety features.
You have experienced electrical problems. Flickering lights, tripping breakers, or warm outlets may indicate underlying issues beyond the immediate symptom. An inspection identifies the full scope of problems so they can be addressed systematically.
You recently purchased a home with unpermitted work. DIY or unpermitted electrical work is a common source of code violations and safety hazards. An inspection identifies substandard work that should be corrected for your family's safety.

This is especially important for homes built before 1980.

What are common electrical code violations in California homes?

Common violations include missing GFCI outlets in bathrooms, kitchens, garages, and outdoors; battery-only smoke detectors instead of hardwired with backup; ungrounded two-prong outlets; exposed or improperly secured wiring; overloaded circuits; missing junction box covers; and Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels. Many of these are found in homes built before 1990.

Will my insurance company require an electrical inspection?

Many California insurance companies require electrical inspections for homes over 30 years old or homes with Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or aluminum wiring. Some will refuse to issue or renew policies until identified hazards are corrected. Our inspection reports from a licensed C-10 electrician provide the documentation insurers require.
