Electrical inspection questions from San Luis Obispo customers
How long does a home electrical inspection take?
Most San Luis Obispo 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.

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.
