Electrical Inspection in Santa Fe, NM

Buying an older home in Santa Fe, 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 Santa Fe 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

Electrical Inspection for Santa Fe homes and businesses

In the high country around Santa Fe, electrical systems have to handle freezing winters, summer thunderstorms, and long rural service runs. Thick adobe walls and historic construction make wiring work slower and call for careful planning.

Electric service in Santa Fe County is typically provided by PNM or a rural electric cooperative. For work on the service entrance or meter, we arrange the disconnect and reconnect with them so you do not have to.

We provide electrical inspections throughout Santa Fe, including the Railyard District, the Eastside, Canyon Road, South Capitol, and Casa Solana. If you searched for an electrician near the Railyard District or an electrician in the Eastside, we are close by. We also serve nearby Tesuque, Glorieta, Tererro, and Lamy.

Most homes take one to two hours depending on size and how accessible the attic and crawl space are.
