Electrical Inspections in Santa Clara, CA

Local Experience in the Santa Clara Area

We regularly work on properties across Santa Clara, from established neighborhoods with older wiring to newer developments with higher baseline loads. That experience helps us anticipate common panel configurations, grounding methods, and issues that can appear during city inspections or utility reviews.

Clear Reports & Prioritized Repair Plans

After the inspection, you receive a clear summary of findings with photos where appropriate. Items are organized by priority:

• Critical safety issues
• Strongly recommended corrections
• Upgrades that support planned projects (solar, EV, remodels)

You walk away knowing what should be addressed first and what can be phased in over time.

Our Electrical Inspection Process

1. Consultation & Scheduling

When you contact Infinium Solar Roofing and Electric, we ask about the property type, age, recent work, and your primary reason for the inspection: 

• Sale
• Refinance
• Remodel
• Solar
• Recurring issues

This helps us allocate the right amount of time and prepare any necessary testing equipment.

2. On-Site Walkthrough & Safety Review

During the visit, our electrician walks the property with you, noting:

• Main panel and subpanel locations
• Areas with recurring breaker trips or flickering lights
• Spaces with heavy equipment, servers, or EV charging
• Previous additions or conversions that may not have been inspected

We verify that all work areas are safe and accessible before testing.

3. Detailed Testing & Visual Inspection

We perform a structured evaluation of the system, which may include:

• Removing panel covers to inspect internal components
• Checking conductor sizes, breaker ratings, and terminations
• Testing GFCI and AFCI devices
• Verifying grounding and bonding paths
• Sampling circuits to confirm wiring methods and conditions

For properties with solar or battery systems, we verify that interconnections match their labels and that disconnects, breakers, and conduits are properly installed.

4. On-Site Findings Review 

Before leaving, we review key findings in plain language. We highlight urgent concerns that may lead to safety risks, items likely to surface during a city or utility inspection, and recommended upgrades to support future projects. You have the opportunity to ask questions and clarify anything in real time.

5. Written Report & Next Steps

You receive a written summary of findings that you can share with real estate agents, project managers, or other decision-makers. If you’d like Infinium Solar Roofing and Electric to complete any corrections or upgrades, we can prepare a proposal outlining scope, pricing, and any required permits through the appropriate authority.

When to Schedule an Electrical Inspection

Common situations we help with include:

• Buying or selling a home and needing a clear picture of the electrical condition
• Planning a remodel, panel upgrade, or service change
• Adding solar, battery storage, or EV charging
• Experiencing repeated breaker trips, dimming lights, or hot devices
• Updating an older building for new tenants or commercial use
• Responding to insurance company requests or risk assessments

If any of these situations sound familiar, scheduling an inspection early can save time, money, and project delays.

Electrical Inspection FAQs

Are electrical inspections required before installing solar or EV chargers?

Many solar and EV projects require verification of panel capacity, conductor sizing, and grounding before permits are approved. An inspection by Infinium Solar Roofing and Electric can identify upgrades that will help your project move smoothly through design, permitting, and utility review.

How long does a typical electrical inspection take?

Most single-family home inspections take a few hours, depending on property size, accessibility, and the number of panels and subpanels. Larger or multi-unit buildings can take longer. We can provide a rough time frame when we schedule your appointment.

Do you provide a written report after the inspection?

Yes. You receive a written summary outlining the observed conditions, recommended corrections, and suggested upgrades. This document is helpful for real estate transactions, insurance files, and planning future electrical work.

Can you perform repairs after the inspection?

Yes. If you choose to move forward, Infinium Solar Roofing and Electric can handle many types of corrections and upgrades, including: 

• Panel replacements
• Circuit additions
• Wiring repairs
• Solar-ready modifications
• EV-focused improvements

We provide a separate proposal so you can decide which items to address first.

Will this inspection help with city or utility sign-offs?
