Home Electrical Inspections That Tell You What Actually Matters

A licensed electrician walks your panel, wiring, outlets and grounding, then gives you a clear report: what’s unsafe, what’s outdated, and what’s fine to leave alone.

Good Times for an Electrical Inspection

An inspection is worth it any time you need to know the real condition of a home’s electrical system, especially in older LA houses.

You’re buying an older home
You’re selling and want to fix issues first
Your insurer asked about the panel or wiring
You’re planning a remodel, ADU or EV charger
The house has knob-and-tube or cloth wiring
You have a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel
Breakers trip or lights flicker often
It’s been decades since anyone looked

How it works

What an Inspection Covers

Service and Panel

Panel brand and condition, breaker sizing, signs of heat or corrosion, and your service size.

Wiring and Grounding

The types of wiring in the home, visible splices and damage, and whether circuits are grounded.

Outlets and Protection

Outlet condition, GFCI and AFCI protection where it’s required, and smoke alarm placement.

Your Findings

We walk you through what we found and give you priced options for anything that needs attention.

Why it matters

Older Homes Hide Their Wiring

A standard home inspection looks at the electrical system, but it isn’t done by an electrician and it can’t open everything up. In Northeast LA, where many homes are 80 to 100 years old, the wiring has usually been added to by several owners over several decades.

An electrician’s inspection goes further. We open the panel, test circuits, and look for the problems that cause fires and insurance headaches: overloaded circuits, oversized breakers, brittle insulation and ungrounded outlets.

You decide what to fix. We separate the urgent from the optional, so you can plan repairs, negotiate a sale, or budget for upgrades with real information.

What Affects the Price

Inspection pricing depends on the home. The biggest factors:

FAQ

Electrical Inspection Questions

Isn’t a home inspection enough?

A general home inspection is a good start, but it isn’t done by a licensed electrician. An electrical inspection tests circuits and looks closer at the panel and wiring.

How long does an inspection take?

Most homes take a couple of hours. Larger homes or homes with ADUs and detached garages take longer.

Will you tell me what needs to be fixed?

Yes. We explain what we found, separate urgent issues from optional upgrades, and give you priced options.

Should I get one before buying an older home?

It’s a good idea, especially for homes with original wiring, fuse boxes, or Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels.

Can an inspection help with insurance?

Often. Insurers ask about panel brand, knob-and-tube and fuse boxes. An inspection tells you exactly what you have.
