On-site service

Electrical Inspection

From $350

A full on-site electrical examination by a C-10 contractor with 34 years in Los Angeles homes, delivered as a documented report with pricing you can take into a negotiation.

  • Itemized findings with firm, guaranteed pricing
  • Report within 48 hours of the site visit
  • Estimate honored for 30 days after close of escrow
  • Repairs referred to an independent contractor
Book an inspection

Your estimate is always included. We price the work; on properties we inspect, we do not perform it. That separation is what makes our numbers usable in a negotiation.

Landmark and architecturally significant homes carry integrated systems, legacy and bespoke wiring, and documentation requirements a standard inspection does not address. Detached guesthouses, secondary services, and subterranean levels are quoted separately.

How the $150 estimate review works

  1. Email the report. Send the full report or just the electrical section to info@calphe.com.
  2. Pay $150. An invoice link comes back the same day. Work begins on payment.
  3. Receive your range. Within 24 hours you get a written cost range for the electrical items identified, with the significant ones called out.

What this is, and what it is not

  • The estimate is prepared solely from the third-party report provided. The property is not visited, examined, or evaluated by Powerhouse Electric.
  • The result is a budgetary range for planning and negotiation. It is not a bid, a firm price, or a home inspection, and it is not a substitute for one.
  • General home inspection reports frequently recommend further evaluation by a licensed electrician without identifying scope. Conditions concealed at the time of the original inspection may materially change the cost.
  • Any figure provided is subject to re-quote upon site access. A firm price requires an on-site electrical inspection.
  • The $150 fee is earned upon delivery and is not refundable. It is a fixed fee, charged regardless of the findings or the outcome of the transaction.
