Electrical Safety Inspections
in Sonoma County

Know the Real Condition of Your Electrical System

Most of your electrical system is hidden — inside walls, behind the panel cover, up in the attic. A home can look perfectly fine and still hide an overloaded panel, ungrounded outlets, scorched connections, or a recalled panel that insurers won't cover. An electrical safety inspection turns the unknown into a clear picture, so you can make decisions with facts instead of guesses.

Eleos Electric performs detailed electrical inspections throughout Sonoma County — Windsor, Santa Rosa, Healdsburg, Rohnert Park, Petaluma, Sonoma, and Sebastopol. As licensed electricians with 35+ years in the field (CSLB #1009044), we evaluate the whole system, document what we find, and hand you a written report with clear priorities — not a sales pitch.

When You Need an Electrical Inspection

Buying or Selling a Home

A general home inspection only scratches the surface of the electrical system. Before you buy — or before you list — a licensed electrician's inspection uncovers panel, wiring, and grounding issues that affect safety, price, and negotiations.

Older Homes

Homes built before the 1980s often have outdated wiring, ungrounded outlets, or panels that are now known hazards. We check for knob-and-tube, aluminum branch wiring, and undersized service so you know what you're working with.

Insurance Requirements

Insurers increasingly ask for proof of electrical condition, especially on older homes or those with certain panel brands. Our written report gives carriers the documentation they need.

After a Surge, Flood, or Fire

Power surges, water intrusion, and heat can damage wiring and equipment in ways you can't see. An inspection identifies compromised components before they fail or start a fire.

Before Adding Major Loads

Planning an EV charger, heat pump, ADU, or solar and battery system? An inspection confirms whether your panel and service can handle the new load or need upgrading first.

What Our Inspection Covers

We evaluate your main panel and breakers for proper sizing, overloading, double-tapped breakers, corrosion, and signs of overheating; your grounding and bonding; GFCI protection in kitchens, baths, garages, and exteriors; and AFCI protection where required. We check outlets, switches, and visible wiring methods, look for unsafe or unpermitted work, and scan for hot connections with thermal imaging.

Of particular concern in Sonoma County's older housing stock are Federal Pacific (FPE) and Zinsco panels, which are widely documented to fail to trip under fault conditions. If we find one, we'll explain the risk plainly and your options. Everything we observe goes into a written report with photos and prioritized recommendations.
