Older Peninsula homes often have hidden electrical issues

Many homes across the Peninsula were wired decades ago under different electrical codes. Knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum wiring, ungrounded circuits, missing GFCI protection, and overloaded panels are all common findings during inspections of older homes in San Mateo, Burlingame, and surrounding areas. An electrical safety inspection identifies these issues so you can prioritize the most important upgrades.

When you should get an electrical inspection

An electrical inspection is a smart choice if you are buying or selling a home, planning a major renovation, or living in an older home that has never been evaluated. It is also recommended if you are dealing with breaker trips, flickering lights, or other unusual electrical issues and want peace of mind about safety.

  • Helpful before a sale, renovation, or in older homes without a recent inspection

  • Recommended for recurring electrical issues or added peace of mind

Frequently Asked Questions About
Electrical Safety Inspections and Testing

Is electrical safety testing different from an inspection?2024-08-23T08:52:04+00:00

While often done together, testing involves using specialized equipment to measure and verify the performance of your electrical system components. This can include load testing, insulation resistance testing, and earth fault loop impedance testing. Our safety inspections typically include both visual inspection and essential testing.

Can you perform repairs during the safety inspection?2024-08-23T08:51:38+00:00

We can perform minor repairs or adjustments during the inspection if time allows. For more significant issues, we’ll provide a detailed quote for the necessary work and can schedule a follow-up appointment for repairs.

Will you provide a written report of the inspection findings?2024-08-23T08:51:14+00:00

Yes, we provide a detailed written report of our findings, including any safety concerns, code violations, and recommendations for improvements or repairs. This report can be valuable for your records and for planning any necessary upgrades.

How long does a typical safety inspection take?2024-08-23T08:50:46+00:00

A thorough electrical safety inspection usually takes 2-3 hours for an average-sized home. Larger homes or those with complex electrical systems may take longer. We’ll provide a more accurate time estimate when scheduling your inspection.

What does an electrical safety inspection include?2024-08-23T08:49:58+00:00

Our safety inspections typically include checking your electrical panel, testing outlets and switches, inspecting visible wiring, checking GFCI and AFCI protection, verifying proper grounding, and assessing the overall condition of your electrical system. We also look for potential fire hazards and code violations.

How often should I have an electrical safety inspection?2024-08-23T08:49:30+00:00

We recommend having a comprehensive electrical safety inspection every 3-5 years for most homes. However, if your home is older (40+ years), has had major renovations, or you’re experiencing electrical issues, more frequent inspections may be advisable.
