Electrical wiring is an important part of a home that we all depend on every day. If your home wiring is outdated, though, it can be an electrical safety hazard and result in shorting out or even electrical fires.

An electrical safety assessment can be done by a competent electrician in a fairly short amount of time and for a reasonable amount of money. A Santa Monica electrician will check for any safety hazards or needed electrical code corrections, and they will check all of the connections and wires to make sure that nothing is broken, deteriorated or frayed. An electrical safety inspection by Electric Connection, a licensed electrician Santa Monica trust most, will give you the peace of mind you need. Knowing that your home electrical is safe, you can feel rest assured that your family is protected.

Electric Connection is licensed, bonded and insured and fully qualified to do electrical safety inspections. If you’d like to find out more, please visit our website at We’re ready to help you out with your next home electrical safety assessment.
