Electrical Safety Inspection FAQ

Do I need an electrical safety inspection if my home seems fine? β–Ύ
Yes β€” many electrical hazards are hidden and not obvious to homeowners. Older LA homes (especially pre-1970) may have outdated wiring, improper grounding, or panel issues that aren't visible without professional testing.

How often should I get an electrical safety inspection? β–Ύ
We recommend inspections every 3-5 years for most homes, or annually for homes over 40 years old, homes with aluminum wiring, or those with known electrical issues. Pre-purchase inspections are essential when buying a home.

What does an electrical safety inspection cover? β–Ύ
We inspect the electrical panel, wiring (where accessible), outlets, switches, lighting, grounding, GFCI/AFCI protection, and look for code violations and safety hazards. We don't open walls but check accessible areas like attics, basements, and crawlspaces.

Is an electrical safety inspection the same as a permit inspection? β–Ύ
Yes β€” we handle all permitting and inspections as part of every installation. We manage the entire process: permit applications with LADBS (Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety), plan review submissions, coordination with LADWP for service upgrades, scheduling inspections, and obtaining the final Certificate of Completion. The permit process typically takes 3-10 business days, depending on the scope of work. Permitting ensures code compliance and protects your insurance.
How long does an electrical safety inspection take? β–Ύ
Most inspections take 1-2 hours depending on home size and accessibility. Larger homes or those with complex systems may take 2-3 hours. We provide a time estimate during the quote.
