About our panel inspection service
A panel inspection is the right first step when breakers trip, the panel is warm, labels are missing, or you are deciding whether a panel upgrade is actually needed. We treat it as cash-now diagnostic work — not an automatic upsell into a multi-thousand-dollar change-out. Call (657) 239-6331 from La Mirada or nearby cities; a real person answers. $189 covers the diagnostic visit. If you hire us for repairs or a panel upgrade afterward, that fee credits toward the job. On site we check breaker condition, bus and lug issues we can see safely, double-taps, corrosion, grounding/bonding clues, workspace clearance, and whether the panel can support today’s loads (EV, HVAC, kitchen remodels) without guessing from a photo alone. If the panel is fine and a branch circuit is the problem, we pivot to repair. If the panel is the problem, you get a custom written quote for the upgrade path — still never an “estimate.” Panel upgrades are high-ticket Band B work; the inspection is how we earn the right to recommend them. C-10 #1120441. SCE coordination, permits, and inspection scheduling are part of upgrade jobs when required — we explain that after the panel diagnosis, not before.

Service Questions
A safety inspection reviews outlets, GFCI/AFCI protection, grounding, panel condition, visible wiring hazards, and common CEC/NEC safety issues so you know what is unsafe before it fails. We document findings in plain English and prioritize what should be fixed first.
Yes. Before you buy a home or small commercial property, we inspect the electrical system for deal-breakers — outdated panels, aluminum branch wiring red flags, overloaded services, and obvious code hazards — so you can negotiate or budget with facts.
A panel inspection focuses on the service equipment: breakers, bus condition, double-taps, corrosion, grounding/bonding, labeling, and whether the panel can safely support your loads. It is the right first step before a panel upgrade quote.
Yes. Commercial electrical inspections vary by building size, occupancy, and equipment. We start with a $189 diagnostic visit where appropriate, then scope a custom quote for larger facilities — not a one-size price for every building.
