Electrical Inspection in San Antonio, NM

Buying an older home in San Antonio, or living in one? A dedicated electrical inspection goes much deeper than a general home inspection. We open the panel, test the circuits, and give you a plain-language report with priorities.

What our inspection covers

We look for the issues that matter most in San Antonio homes: overloaded or recalled panels, aluminum branch wiring, ungrounded outlets, missing GFCI protection, amateur wiring from past remodels, and sun-damaged exterior wiring.

  • Service entrance, meter base, and grounding
  • Main panel and sub panels, with the cover removed
  • Breaker sizing against wire size
  • Outlet testing, polarity, and grounding
  • GFCI and AFCI protection where required
  • Visible wiring in attics, crawl spaces, and garages
  • Smoke and carbon monoxide alarm placement
  • A written summary with photos and priorities

Good times to schedule an inspection

  • Before you buy or sell a home
  • Your home is more than 40 years old and has never been checked
  • Your insurer has asked about the wiring or panel
  • Before a major remodel, EV charger, or air conditioning upgrade
  • After storm, flood, or fire damage

Why San Antonio properties call a local electrician

Central New Mexico's high desert climate ages electrical systems in its own way. Around San Antonio, ultraviolet light breaks down exposed cable and plastic boxes, temperature swings loosen connections, and monsoon season brings surges and brief outages.

Depending on your address, power in Socorro County typically comes from Socorro Electric Cooperative. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.

We provide electrical inspections throughout San Antonio and in nearby Claunch, Socorro, Carrizozo, and Polvadera.
