Terms and Conditions

Unless explicitly stated in a written estimate or service agreement, our electrical services do not include repair or restoration work for:

• Drywall: Cutting, patching, finishing, painting, or texturing of drywall surfaces
• Stucco: Exterior stucco repair, patching, or refinishing
• Landscaping: Grass, plants, irrigation systems, or landscape restoration
• Roofing: Roof penetrations, flashing, shingles, or roofing materials
• Flooring: Tile, hardwood, carpet, vinyl, or flooring restoration
• Walls: Structural wall modifications, painting, or cosmetic finishes
• Other Trades: Plumbing, HVAC, carpentry, or masonry work

When electrical work requires access that affects these areas, we will create necessary openings to perform the electrical work. Restoration of these areas is the responsibility of the Client or must be arranged separately with appropriate licensed contractors.

All electrical work performed by Wire It Up Electric will:

• Meet or exceed California Electrical Code (CEC) requirements
• Comply with National Electrical Code (NEC) standards
• Adhere to all applicable local building codes and ordinances
• Be performed by licensed, trained electricians
• Include proper permits when required by local jurisdictions

The specific scope of work for each project will be detailed in the provided estimate or service agreement.

Any work outside the original scope detailed in the estimate or service agreement requires a written change order. Change orders must:

• Be approved and signed by the Client before work begins
• Include a detailed description of the additional work
• Specify additional costs, materials, and timeline impacts
• Be documented and added to the project file

No additional costs will be incurred without your prior written approval. If unforeseen conditions are discovered during work that require changes to the scope, we will notify you immediately and await your authorization before proceeding.

Electrical systems, particularly in older properties, can present unforeseen challenges. We acknowledge that:

• Some electrical issues may require significant additional investigative work to diagnose
• Certain problems may not be fully resolvable without extensive system modifications or upgrades
• Pre-existing conditions (including code violations, outdated wiring, or improper previous installations) may be discovered during service
• Hidden conditions behind walls, in attics, or underground may only become apparent once work has begun

Wire It Up Electric is not responsible for pre-existing issues or conditions uncovered during the job. When such issues are discovered, we will:

• Notify you immediately of the discovered condition
• Provide recommendations for addressing the issue
• Offer a separate estimate for any additional required work
• Await your authorization before proceeding with additional work

Wire It Up Electric is not responsible for:

• Physical damage to electrical devices, panels, or wiring resulting from:
  • Existing faults or defects present before our service
  • Aged equipment that fails due to wear and deterioration
  • Defective parts or components from manufacturers
  • Improper previous installations by other contractors
  • Environmental factors (water damage, pest damage, corrosion)
• Equipment failure that occurs after our service due to:
  • Normal wear and tear of components
  • Power surges or electrical events beyond our control
  • Misuse or modification of our installed work by others

When we encounter equipment or components that appear to be failing or at risk of failure, we will inform you and provide recommendations, but we cannot guarantee the continued operation of aged or compromised electrical systems.

While we ensure all our work meets current electrical codes, we are not responsible for:

• Bringing pre-existing electrical systems up to current code (unless contracted to do so)
• Code violations from previous work by other contractors
• Historical "grandfathered" installations that were code-compliant when installed but don't meet current standards

If we discover serious safety hazards or code violations during our work, we are obligated to inform you. Depending on the severity, we may be required to report certain violations to local building authorities per California law.

Wire It Up Electric provides a 1 year warranty on all workmanship from the date of service completion. This warranty covers:

• Provide recommendations for addressing the underlying issue
• Offer a separate estimate for correction if requested

We are not responsible for the cost of correcting pre-existing conditions unless such correction is explicitly included in the original scope of work or a subsequently approved change order.
