Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an electrical inspection cost in California?
A residential electrical inspection typically costs $250 to $500. Permit inspections are separate and are performed by the municipal Construction Official. For home purchase due diligence, a licensed electrician or home inspector can evaluate the system.
When should I get an electrical inspection in California?
Get an electrical inspection before purchasing any home, especially homes built before 1970 which may have outdated wiring or panels. Also recommended after purchasing a home with aluminum wiring (common in 1960s-70s construction), after storm or flooding damage, or if you experience frequent breaker trips or burning smells.
What electrical issues are most common in older California homes?
Common issues include knob-and-tube wiring, Federal Pacific Stab-Lok panels (considered a fire hazard), Zinsco panels, undersized 60-100 amp services, aluminum branch wiring, ungrounded outlets, and lack of GFCI protection in wet areas.
Does California require a licensed electrician for electrical inspections?
Most states require electricians to be licensed. Electrical work requiring permits must be inspected by the municipal Construction Code Official. For pre-purchase inspections, a licensed home inspector or licensed electrician can perform the evaluation.
