What's different about electrical safety inspection in Mesa
Rooftop solar systems should have their tie-in and labeling reviewed. An inspection before buying helps plan repairs and negotiate. Ask for a written report with photos. Repairs need permits from the City of Mesa's development services, and SRP or the City of Mesa's electric utility handles service changes.
Older homes may have small panels and original wiring, and many 1970s and 1980s houses have panels near the end of their life. Pools, AC systems, rooftop solar and EV chargers are common heavy loads.
