San Jose Code Compliance & Safety Inspections

Our Team Is Dedicated to Safety

When people hear the term “inspection,” this often brings a negative association to their minds. Perhaps they imagine an uptight official scrutinizing every corner for problems that don’t exist, making any excuse to write a large, red “FAIL” on their clipboard. At Willow Glen Electric, Inc., our dedicated team members want to assure you that this is definitely not the case when we perform our San Jose code compliance and safety inspections.

What to Expect During Your San Jose Electrical Safety Inspection

Throughout our examination, we will carefully check any aspect involving:

• Updated information and revisions to the National Electrical Code (NEC)
• Compliance with the NEC guidelines
• The safety of your electrical panels and subpanels
• The current status of wear and tear or recent repairs of electrical devices and wiring
• The state of your switches and outlets
• Diagnosis for any necessary repairs, replacement parts, or rewiring

Electrical Code Violation Corrections

Electrical code violations are dangerous and can wreak havoc on everything, whether degrading your TV image quality or causing electrical shocks and home fires. Shoddy, old, and unprofessional electrical installations are unsafe to have in your home.

What Are the Most Common Electrical Code Violations?

Common code violations include:

• Too many wires stuffed into a small switch or outlet box (causing excess heat)
• Mixing line and low-voltage wiring
• Not using junction boxes when installing new fixtures or lines on old wires
• Burying junction boxes in inaccessible locations (hidden behind walls, cabinets, etc.)

What Are the Benefits of Our Expert Electrical Safety Inspections?

Whether you are trying to buy or sell a piece of property, it is essential to have professional electricians diagnose the status of the current electrical system. If you are moving into a new office space, you will want to make sure that it is safe from faulty electrical wiring that could cause severe injuries to your employees from accidental electrocution.

Alternatively, if you are trying to sell your house, having a certificate showing it passed the electrical safety test with flying colors will really increase its market value.
