About Us

Our experience in the electrical industry has proved to us that specialty electrical inspection is the most efficient, cost effective and successful way to insure public safety. A well trained, experienced electrical inspector enforcing the National Electric Code, NFPA, Title 24 of the California Energy Efficiency Standards and Local Codes can guide electrical contractors to a safe and code compliant installation.
