Common questions

Know what this visit covers.

Each question has an answer. Tap or click a question to open it; select it again to close.

Is this a home inspection or a code approval?

No. It is a focused electrical readiness assessment, not a whole-home inspection, municipal approval or engineering certification.

Will you calculate my exact available capacity?

We review the accessible system and planned loads. A formal load calculation or detailed design review can be recommended and scoped separately when needed.

Will I receive a quote for every repair?

The report identifies priorities. Specific installation or repair work can be priced in a separate proposal once its scope is confirmed.

Is an active electrical problem a good reason to book?

For tripping, partial power loss, buzzing or another active fault, start with a service call so the issue can be diagnosed first.

Request your Power-Ready visit

Start with your plans.

Tell us what you want your property to support. No equipment details yet? That’s fine—we can help you work through the options.

  1. Send your plans. Include preferred visit windows and optional photos.
  2. Confirm the scope and fee. Francisco will contact you to agree on the visit and price before an appointment is booked.
  3. Get your roadmap. Review accessible equipment and receive prioritized next steps.
What to have ready

Your equipment wish list, any model information you have, and safe access to the panel area. Photos of closed equipment and visible labels can help; never remove a cover for a photo.

This is a planning visit. For an active fault, request troubleshooting or call Francisco.

All fields are required unless marked optional. For a future site without an address, write “Not assigned yet”.

At least one is required: a valid phone number or email address. Add an email to receive your request number and next steps.

What are you planning? (Choose at least one)

Only share a rating you already know. Do not remove covers or approach damaged equipment to complete this form.

Press Send to send your request and photos securely to FPE. A reference number will appear here when it is received. For urgent hazards, call 911 or the utility first.

Your contact details and photos are used to respond to your electrical request. We also count request submissions and phone-button taps by page to improve the website; a tap does not tell us whether a call connected. Please leave payment details and sensitive tenant records out of the form.

Your power, our priority

Tell Francisco what you have in mind.
