Everything on this list is work we do every week in houses like yours. If what you need isn't here, ask anyway. If it's small, that's the point.
The panel is the one part of the house most people never open. These are the moments it pays to have someone look.
Common in homes built from the 1950s through the 1980s, and both brands have a long record of breakers that fail to trip. If the label on your panel says Zinsco, Sylvania-Zinsco or Federal Pacific Stab-Lok, it's worth knowing what you're living with.
A home inspector will note the panel but usually won't take the cover off. An electrician's look before closing tells a buyer what they're taking on, and lets a seller fix a small thing before it becomes an escrow negotiation.
In wildfire-rated areas, insurers are asking more about older electrical. An inspection gives you a clear answer to put in front of them instead of a guess.
Big new loads need room in the panel and in the service. Checking first is cheaper than finding out halfway through an install that the panel is full.
Send a photo of the panel label with your request and we'll tell you up front whether it's one to worry about.

Nevada County loses power. Public Safety Power Shutoffs in fire season, winter storms, a tree across the line. A generator only helps if it's connected safely, and a lot of houses up here were wired in pieces over decades.
A generator inlet on the outside of the house and a transfer switch at the panel let you power the circuits that matter, with the generator outside where it belongs and no back-feed onto the utility line. Tell us which circuits you can't do without and we'll size it from there.
Cabins that grew into homes, additions from three different decades, aluminum branch wiring, panels that have been full for years. We work with what's there, fix what's unsafe, and tell you plainly which is which.
Western Nevada County, along Highways 49, 20 and 174. If your place is near one of these towns, or a few miles up a dirt road from one, we'll come out.
Tell us what you need done and where the house is. Photos of the panel or the problem help a lot. The form goes straight to the office and a person reads it.
