J R Electric - Santa Barbara's Expert Electrical Contractor

Absolutely. Our detailed electrical inspections specifically check for the presence of older aluminum wiring, which is a known fire hazard in many local homes built during certain eras. We meticulously examine connections at outlets, switches, and the main panel for signs of overheating, corrosion, or improper retrofits, providing you with a clear assessment and recommended solutions to ensure your home's safety.

Connecting a generator improperly can create dangerous backfeed, damaging your home's electrical system or posing a lethal risk to utility workers. Our inspection ensures your home's panel and wiring can safely handle the generator's load and that a proper, code-compliant transfer switch is installed. This is crucial for safe, reliable power during local outages, protecting your property and our community.

Our Santa Barbara inspections are thorough. Beyond checking for local issues like aluminum wiring, we assess the entire system: the service panel for overloaded circuits and proper grounding, all wiring for damage, the functionality and safety of GFCIs/AFCIs, and the condition of all fixtures and outlets. We provide a prioritized report to address any safety hazards or inefficiencies we find.
