Durham Electric | Best Electrical Company in Chico, CA

Many of Chico's beautiful older homes have original wiring that may not meet modern safety standards or handle today's electrical demands. Our inspection identifies aging components like knob-and-tube wiring, undersized panels, and worn insulation that can pose serious fire risks. We provide a detailed report and recommendations to bring your system up to current National Electrical Code standards, ensuring safety and reliability for your family.

Absolutely. A professional electrical inspection is the best way to uncover and assess DIY work. We frequently find improperly spliced wires, overloaded circuits, and missing safety devices like GFCIs in Chico homes. Our licensed electricians will evaluate the work for code compliance and safety, then provide a clear plan to correct any issues, protecting your home from potential electrical fires or shock hazards.

Our thorough inspection covers your entire electrical system. We check the main service panel for capacity and safety, test outlets and switches for proper wiring and grounding, evaluate lighting circuits, and inspect for any signs of overheating or damage. For Chico homeowners, we pay special attention to issues common in our area, like the condition of wiring in attics (which can degrade in our heat) and the adequacy of outdoor and garage circuits for modern tools and appliances.
