Repairs

Buying or Selling a Home

A pre-purchase inspection reveals hidden electrical issues before they become your problem. Sellers can fix issues proactively to avoid deal delays.

Before a Major Renovation

Before investing in a kitchen or bathroom remodel, know the condition of your wiring. Discovering outdated wiring mid-project causes costly delays.

Insurance Requirements

Many insurance companies require electrical inspections for older homes, policy renewals, or after claims. We provide detailed reports accepted by all major insurers.

After Storm or Water Damage

Water and electricity don't mix. After any flood, leak, or storm damage, an electrical inspection ensures your system is safe before restoring full power.

Warning Signs Present

Flickering lights, tripping breakers, warm outlets, burning smells, or buzzing sounds all warrant professional inspection to identify and fix the root cause.

Home Is Over 25 Years Old

Electrical components degrade over time. If your home hasn't had an inspection in 5+ years and is more than 25 years old, a checkup can catch problems early.

DCP Electric provides comprehensive electrical inspections and repair services throughout Ventura County, Santa Barbara County, and parts of Los Angeles County. We serve Ventura, Oxnard, Camarillo, Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley, Moorpark, Ojai, Santa Barbara, Goleta, Malibu, and Westlake Village.

Ventura County's diverse housing stock — from 1950s beach cottages in Ventura to modern subdivisions in Thousand Oaks — means we encounter every type of electrical system. Our inspections are thorough and practical: we test every accessible outlet for proper grounding and polarity, evaluate your panel's condition and capacity, check for code violations, and use thermal imaging to detect hidden hot spots in your wiring.

We're frequently called for pre-purchase inspections by home buyers in the Ventura County market. Real estate transactions move fast here, and our team can typically schedule inspections within 48 hours and deliver a detailed report the same day. Our reports include photos, severity ratings (safety hazard, code violation, or recommendation), and estimated repair costs — giving buyers the information they need to make informed decisions.

For general electrical repair, we diagnose and fix the full range of residential and commercial electrical problems. Whether it's a dead circuit in an Oxnard home, intermittent power loss in a Camarillo office, or a tripping GFCI in a Simi Valley bathroom, we find the root cause and fix it right. As a licensed C-10 contractor, every repair meets current NEC code and comes with our workmanship warranty.

We were buying a home in Moorpark and wanted a thorough electrical inspection. DCP Electric found several issues the general home inspector missed — including an ungrounded subpanel and two circuits with no GFCI protection. They gave us a clear report with cost estimates that we used to negotiate the purchase price. Saved us thousands.

Our inspection covers the main panel and breakers, grounding and bonding, all accessible wiring, outlets and switches (testing for proper polarity, grounding, and GFCI function), light fixtures, smoke detectors, outdoor electrical, and any visible code violations. We provide a detailed written report with photos and recommendations.

We recommend inspections every 3-5 years for homes over 25 years old, when buying or selling a home, after any major renovation, after storm or water damage, or if you notice warning signs like flickering lights, burning smells, or frequently tripping breakers.

While not legally required in California, many buyers request electrical inspections as part of their due diligence. Having a recent inspection report can speed up the sale process and prevent last-minute negotiations. Some insurance companies also require inspections for policy transfers.

An inspection is a diagnostic evaluation — we examine your system, test components, and document findings in a report. Repairs are the corrective work to fix problems identified during the inspection or reported by you. We can often do both in the same visit if repairs are straightforward.

A standard residential electrical inspection runs $200-$350 depending on home size and scope. Commercial inspections vary based on the facility. The inspection fee is often credited toward any repair work we perform. We provide exact pricing when you schedule.
