Start with the property address

City limits, extraterritorial jurisdiction and county requirements can affect where the application belongs.

02

Common permit-triggering scopes

Service work, panels, added circuits, generators, pools, additions and major remodels commonly require review.

03

Keep the closeout documents

Final approval, equipment information and photographs help future owners, insurers and contractors understand the work.

The useful first step

Get the system understood before the work is sold.

A licensed on-site estimate gives Malco the information needed to explain the real options, cost drivers and safest next step.

Arrange an assessment

Straight answers

Before you book.

Is this a substitute for an on-site inspection?

No. Electrical symptoms can share several causes. An on-site assessment is the safest way to confirm the condition and scope.

When should I stop troubleshooting and call?

Call immediately for heat, smoke, burning odor, arcing, water near equipment or repeated breaker trips. Avoid opening energized equipment.
