Home Electrical Safety Inspections in San Diego
Buying, selling, remodeling — or just living in a 40-year-old house that's never been checked. We inspect the whole system and give you a straight written report.
What's covered
We Check Everything the Inspector Would — Before They Do
A safety inspection is a top-to-bottom look at your home's electrical system by a master electrician. You get a written report with photos, prioritized by safety — not a sales pitch.
- Panel: brand, age, capacity, breaker condition — including Zinsco/Federal Pacific identification
- Wiring: type and condition — aluminum wiring, knob-and-tube remnants, damaged insulation
- Grounding & bonding: verified to current code
- GFCI/AFCI protection: where required — kitchens, baths, garages, bedrooms
- DIY & unpermitted work: the previous owner's "improvements," flagged honestly
- Smoke & CO detector placement
Smart times to get inspected
- Buying an older home — know before you close
- Selling — fix deal-killers before the buyer's inspector finds them
- Before a remodel or ADU project
- Home is 30+ years old and never been checked
- After storm or water damage near electrical
Findings often lead to a panel upgrade or targeted repairs — we'll quote those separately, no pressure.
Common questions
Inspection FAQ
What does a home electrical inspection cover?
The panel (brand, condition, capacity), wiring type and condition, grounding and bonding, GFCI/AFCI protection where required, and a scan for DIY or unpermitted work. You get a written report with photos.
When should I get an electrical inspection?
Before buying an older home, before selling (so there are no surprises), before a remodel, or if your home is 30+ years old and has never been checked.
Will the inspection tell me if I need a panel upgrade?
Yes — panel brand, age, capacity, and condition are core to the inspection. If a panel upgrade is warranted, the report will say so and why.
