Q&A

How can an electrical inspection in San Francisco reveal if my aluminum wiring is a fire hazard?

Our licensed electricians perform a thorough inspection that specifically checks for signs of overheating, corrosion, and improper connections at outlets and switches—common failure points with aluminum wiring. We assess the overall system integrity and provide a detailed report on any immediate risks, along with expert recommendations for remediation, such as COPALUM crimps or complete rewiring, to ensure your home meets current safety standards.

Why is a panel upgrade often recommended during an electrical inspection for older San Francisco homes?

Many historic San Francisco homes still have 60-amp or 100-amp panels that weren't designed for today's electrical demands from EVs, HVAC systems, and multiple high-wattage appliances. Our inspection evaluates your panel's capacity, condition, and compliance. If it's outdated or overloaded, we recommend an upgrade to a modern 200-amp panel. This prevents tripped breakers, protects your home from fire, and provides the safe, robust power capacity modern living requires.

What should I expect from Starlite Electric's electrical inspection service?

You can expect a comprehensive, neighborly evaluation of your home's entire electrical system. We'll test your wiring, outlets, grounding, circuit breakers, and major appliances. We focus on San Francisco-specific issues like aluminum wiring and inadequate panels, explaining our findings in plain language. You'll receive a prioritized list of any safety concerns or code violations with transparent options for repair, so you can make informed decisions to protect your home and family.
