Electrical inspection questions from Petaluma customers
How long does a home electrical inspection take?
Most Petaluma homes take one and a half to three hours, depending on size, age and how accessible the attic and crawl space are.
Is this the same as a city permit inspection?
No. A permit inspection is done by the building department on permitted work. Ours is an independent condition assessment of the whole system for your own decisions.
Which panels do you flag as a concern?
We call out panels with a known history of breakers failing to trip, including certain Federal Pacific Stab-Lok and Zinsco models, as well as any panel showing heat damage, corrosion or overcrowding.
