Electrical Safety Inspections in Glendale

Most single-family homes and condos take 2–4 hours on site, depending on size and access to panels, garages, and subpanels. Larger hillside homes with multiple panels or pool equipment can take longer. You’ll receive a photo-rich report within 24–48 hours outlining findings and recommended corrections.

The inspection itself does not require a permit. If we identify corrections such as a panel replacement, new EV circuit, or generator transfer switch, we’ll obtain permits through the City of Glendale Building and Safety Division. Typical permit/inspection timelines are 2–3 weeks, and we handle coordination for you.

Most testing is performed with your system energized. For safety, we may briefly de-energize a panel to inspect conductor terminations or verify labeling. Any planned shutdowns are communicated in advance, kept as short as possible, and scheduled around your household’s needs.

We routinely work with Glendale HOAs downtown and along Brand and Central. We can provide insurance certificates, schedule during approved hours, and coordinate common-area access for meter rooms or main disconnects. If corrective work is needed, we’ll assist with HOA architectural forms and city submittals.

We recommend every 3–5 years for most Glendale homes, sooner if your home is older than 40 years, you’re adding an EV charger or new HVAC, you’ve had recent tripping or flickering issues, or you’re buying/selling a property. Thermal imaging is especially valuable before peak summer loads.

Yes. We perform load calculations to assess panel capacity for Level 2 EV charging and review options like load management or panel upgrades. We also check for safe generator interconnection methods, recommend transfer equipment, and outline any utility coordination with Glendale Water & Power.
