Electrical Inspection in Chimayo, NM
Buying an older home in Chimayo, 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 Chimayo 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
