Hye-Line Electric - Northridge's Trusted Electrical Contractor

Absolutely. A core part of our inspection service is to identify the type of wiring in your home. We frequently find older aluminum wiring in Northridge houses, which can be a significant fire hazard due to its tendency to loosen at connections. Our detailed inspection will confirm its presence and we'll provide clear recommendations for remediation, such as proper pigtailing with copper connectors, to ensure your home's safety.

Many older Northridge homes were built with 60- or 100-amp panels designed for fewer appliances. Today's modern loads—like central AC, EV chargers, and home offices—can overload these older systems, causing breakers to trip frequently and creating a fire risk. Our electrical inspection assesses your panel's capacity and your home's actual electrical demand. We can then recommend a safe, code-compliant upgrade to a 200-amp panel, providing the power and safety your family needs.

Our thorough inspection for Northridge homeowners is a complete health check for your electrical system. We examine your main service panel, circuit breakers, wiring (checking for aluminum), outlets for proper grounding and GFCI protection, lighting fixtures, and smoke/CO detectors. We look for signs of overload, improper DIY work, and code violations specific to our local area. You'll receive a detailed report with prioritized findings and clear, honest recommendations to address any safety or functionality issues we find.
