How Often Should I Schedule Electrical Inspections for My Home? 

As a general rule of thumb, it’s best to schedule electrical inspections every 3-5 years to keep your property safe, efficient, and up to code. Inspections are also recommended after buying, selling, or remodeling a home. 

If you’ve noticed flickering lights, tripped breakers, or outdated two-prong outlets, it might be time to contact our electricians! We can inspect your electrical system and address any issues while complying with building codes and safety standards. 

Many homes in Farmington and the surrounding San Juan County area were built before today’s electrical demands and energy codes, so routine inspections can uncover hidden issues like undersized wiring, overloaded circuits, or outdated grounding that might not be obvious day to day. During an inspection, we can also point out opportunities to add more convenient outlets, improve lighting, or make upgrades that better handle seasonal heating and cooling loads common in New Mexico’s climate.

Do I Need a Permit for Electrical Work?

Yes, a permit is required for most electrical work. Even small mistakes can lead to shocks, electrical fires, costly damage, and other dangerous hazards, making it crucial to hire a reputable electrical company with the proper tools, equipment, and knowledge.
