Our electrical inspection in Chaparral checks the service, panel, breakers, wiring, outlets, grounding and safety devices, then gives you a written list of what's fine, what should be fixed and what can wait.

Home electrical safety inspection in Chaparral
We open the panel and look for overheated connections, double-tapped breakers, wrong wire sizes and problem panel brands. We test outlets for correct wiring and grounding, check GFCI and AFCI protection, look at visible wiring in the attic and crawlspace and test smoke alarms.
Electrical inspection before buying or selling
A general home inspector flags electrical concerns but usually can't diagnose them. Our inspection goes deeper and puts real repair costs next to each item, which helps buyers negotiate and helps sellers fix issues before listing in Chaparral.

How long does an inspection take?
Most homes take one to two hours. Larger or older properties take longer.

What customers say
Called for a quote on a few small jobs and they gave me a straight price over the phone. Did all of it in one visit.
They checked the panel first, explained the options and installed our Level 2 charger in the garage in an afternoon. Price was exactly what they quoted.
Half the house went dark at 9 at night and there was a burning smell at the panel. Someone answered straight away, told me what to shut off and had an electrician out fast. Fixed that night.
