Whether you’re preparing for an inspection, opening a new business, or correcting violations, we ensure your electrical systems meet the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) and safety requirements.
Don’t risk fines, liability, or equipment failure due to outdated or non-compliant systems. Our licensed electricians deliver thorough assessments and targeted upgrades that protect your property and your people.

Why Electrical Code Compliance Matters

Electrical codes evolve constantly to reflect safer, more efficient practices. Non-compliant systems can lead to:

Fire hazards
Shock risks
Inspection failure
Insurance issues
Equipment damage
Business closure orders

Staying current with code ensures you’re protected legally, financially, and operationally.

What We Check During a Compliance Inspection

Our team performs a detailed evaluation of your electrical infrastructure, identifying both code violations and safety hazards, including:

Improperly sized breakers or wiring
Ungrounded systems or faulty bonding
Outdated panels (e.g., Zinsco, Federal Pacific)
Missing GFCI or AFCI protection
Exposed wires or open junction boxes
Overloaded circuits
Illegible or missing panel labels
Damaged or improperly installed devices
Inadequate emergency lighting or exit signage
Non-compliant outdoor wiring

We use thermal imaging, load testing, and voltage drop measurements to uncover issues that may not be visible to the eye.

Aluminum-to-copper rewiring conversions
Fuse box replacement with modern breaker panels
Metal conduit retrofits
Code-compliant trenching and underground wiring
Data room and server space upgrades
Compliant lighting control systems (e.g., daylight sensors, time clocks)

We work with property managers and engineers to plan staged upgrades for minimal disruption and full inspection approval.

Common Violations We Fix

GFCI not installed in kitchens, bathrooms, or exterior locations
Breakers labeled incorrectly or not at all
Multiple circuits doubled on one breaker (double-taps)
No disconnects for HVAC or large appliances
Improper extension cord use or temporary wiring
Improper conduit support or terminations
Use of residential-grade components in commercial settings
Inadequate clearance around electrical panels

Don’t wait for an inspector to flag these — we’ll find and fix them proactively.

Documentation and Inspector Coordination

We help streamline the inspection process by:

Providing written reports on corrections made
Supplying photos of before/after conditions
Coordinating directly with local inspectors or fire marshals
Ensuring permit documentation is complete
Offering post-inspection support if additional items arise

Maintenance Plans to Stay Compliant

Once upgrades are completed, we offer scheduled maintenance to help you stay compliant year-round, including:

Annual panel and breaker checks
Lighting and signage inspections
Thermal imaging to detect hot spots
Testing of emergency and egress systems
Load monitoring and balancing

Common Questions

What’s the most common reason for a failed electrical inspection?

Some of the top reasons include: missing GFCIs, unprotected circuits, incorrect wire sizes, and outdated or mislabeled panels.

How do I know if my system is out of code?

If your property hasn’t had an inspection or electrical upgrade in 10+ years, chances are good that several components need updating. We offer inspections to identify gaps.

Can I upgrade my system in phases?

Yes. We offer staged upgrade options to help manage costs and prioritize the most critical issues first.

What if I just purchased the property and inherited problems?

We can walk the site with you, identify code issues, and provide an estimate for full remediation to meet current standards.
