About our pre-purchase electrical inspection service
Buying a house in La Mirada, Whittier, Fullerton, or nearby? A general home inspection is not a substitute for a licensed electrician reviewing the panel, service, and branch circuits. We book pre-purchase electrical inspections the same way we book repairs — call (657) 239-6331, tell us the address and closing timeline, and we get eyes on the electrical system before you are locked into surprises. Standard diagnostic is $189. If you hire us after closing (or the seller hires us to clear findings), that fee credits toward the work. We look for deal-breakers and budget items: Federal Pacific / Zinsco-style red flags when present, double-taps, aluminum branch issues, undersized services for modern loads, missing GFCI/AFCI where required, and open safety hazards. You get a clear list for negotiation — not a scare tactic. We write custom quotes for any repair or upgrade that follows. We never call a repair package an “estimate.” If the right next step is a panel upgrade, that is a separate high-ticket conversation after the inspection facts are clear. C-10 #1120441. Fire or life-safety emergency on a vacant property? Call 911 first when appropriate, then us for the electrical assessment.

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 Before you buy a home or small commercial property, we inspect the electrical system for deal-breakers — outdated panels, aluminum branch wiring red flags, overloaded services, and obvious code hazards — so you can negotiate or budget with facts.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.
