Inspection · Del Mar, CA

Inspection in Del Mar, CA.

Inspection for Del Mar homes, done by licensed San Diego County technicians. An inspection catches the failed micro-inverter, the cracked panel, or the bird damage that's been quietly costing you money for two years. We do a full visual, electrical, and production review.

Del Mar: Coastal salt air is the hardest environment in the county on outdoor condensers — copper corrosion on coil fins and fastener rust cut equipment life nearly in half. In Del Mar we use coastal-rated condensers, corrosion-resistant stands, and annual spray-rinse maintenance to push service life back toward spec.
