Our Services in Illinois
Complete Solutions for Your Home and business electric services
We handle everything from troubleshooting a faulty circuit to wiring an entire building from scratch.
Residential Electrical Services
Your home's electrical system keeps your lights on, appliances running, and devices charged. We install new outlets, upgrade old wiring, and fix problems that leave you in the dark. Whether you need a ceiling fan installed or your entire house rewired, we handle it. Most residential calls get scheduled within 24 hours.
Commercial Electrical Services
Businesses in Schaumburg, Elgin, and across Chicagoland trust us to keep their operations running. We install lighting for retail spaces, upgrade panels for office buildings, and troubleshoot equipment that stops working. Downtime costs you money, so we work fast and get it right the first time.
New Construction Electrical Installation
Building something new in Des Plaines or Hoffman Estates? We wire homes, offices, and industrial facilities from the ground up. From rough-ins to final inspections, we follow code and stay on schedule. Builders and contractors call us because we don't slow down their timeline.
Remodel, Renovation & Gut Rehab Electrical Services
Remodeling changes how your space uses power. We relocate outlets, install new circuits, and rewire kitchens or bathrooms to match your updated layout. Gut rehabs in Chicago often reveal old knob-and-tube wiring or outdated panels—we replace it all and bring everything up to code.
EV Charger Installation & Setup
Electric vehicles need dedicated charging at home. We install Level 2 chargers in garages and driveways, run the necessary circuits, and make sure your panel can handle the load. Most installations in Arlington Heights or Lake Zurich take half a day.
Electrical Problem Diagnosis & Repair
Flickering lights, outlets that don't work, breakers that keep tripping—these are signs something's wrong. We track down the issue, explain what's happening, and fix it. You don't need to guess what's broken or call three different electricians to figure it out.
Electrical Service Installation & Upgrades
Your electrical service connects your property to the power grid. Older homes in Des Plaines or Palatine often have 100-amp services that can't handle modern demand. We upgrade to 200-amp or higher, install new meter bases, and coordinate with the utility company. The upgrade prevents overloads and powers everything you need.
Panel Replacement & Electrical Panel Swaps
Your electrical panel distributes power throughout your property. Old panels with worn breakers or insufficient capacity create safety risks and trip constantly. We replace outdated panels with modern ones that handle your electrical load safely. Most panel swaps in Wheaton or Elk Grove Village take one full day.
Lighting Installation & Design
Good lighting changes how a space looks and functions. We install recessed lighting, chandeliers, outdoor security lights, and landscape lighting for homes and businesses. Whether you need task lighting in a kitchen or accent lighting in a retail space, we handle the wiring and installation.
