Electrical Inspections in San Marcos
Here is what our 20-point inspection covers in a San Marcos home and when it is worth doing.
The 20-Point Inspection
We check the panel, breakers, grounding and bonding, GFCI and AFCI protection, outlets, visible wiring, and connections, and put it all in a written report you can act on or hand to an insurer or buyer.
The Flags That Matter Here
In San Marcos we are watching for Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels, aluminum branch wiring, missing GFCI protection, and ungrounded outlets — the issues that show up in older homes and the ones insurers and inspectors care about.
Pre-Purchase and Insurance
Buying an older San Marcos home or getting an insurance flag is the most common reason people call. We give you the real picture so you can negotiate, plan, or satisfy the carrier — with quotes for any fixes.
Why San Marcos Homes in Particular
Master-planned communities like Blanco Vista and the 55-plus Kissing Tree brought a wave of new construction with builder-grade systems. Same story as everywhere — sized to a price, weak in a Texas August. We run a load calculation and fix the airflow once the warranty runs out.
