❓ FAQs

What is the NEC and when did it last update?
The NEC (National Electrical Code) is updated every 3 years. As of March 2025, most states—including California—enforce the 2023 NEC or require local amendments 

Do I need to upgrade if nothing’s wrong?
Not always—but if you’re replacing your panel or doing a remodel, code requires upgrades like surge protection and GFCI outlets 

Will updates require inspections?
Yes. We manage permits and inspections so your upgrades are officially approved and documented.

What if I want EV charging later?
We recommend adding an EV-ready circuit now. NEC requires dedicated circuits for future EV charging setups
