A home electrical inspection typically costs about
$100 to $400. A standard safety inspection of a smaller home is at the low end. Larger or older homes, multiple panels, ADUs and written reports cost more, and LA labor rates tend to run above national averages. Want help? See our
electrical inspection service.

When It’s Worth It
Buying an older home, insurance questions about knob-and-tube or FPE and Zinsco panels, planning an EV charger or ADU, or when breakers trip and lights flicker.
Inspection vs. Home Inspection
A general home inspector looks at the electrical system but isn’t an electrician. An electrical inspection tests circuits and goes deeper into the panel and wiring.
