FAQs

Common questions about residential electrical work and home safety

Do I need a permit?

Yes. Most residential electrical work in Skokie requires a permit from the city. We handle all permitting and inspections as part of our service, ensuring your home meets current electrical codes and safety standards. This protects your property and your family.

How do I know if I need a panel upgrade?

Signs include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, or an inability to power new appliances. Older homes in Skokie often have 100 amp panels that cannot handle modern electrical demands. We assess your current system and recommend upgrades based on your actual needs and future plans.

How long do repairs typically take?

Simple repairs like outlet replacement or switch installation take one to two hours. More complex work like troubleshooting wiring issues or panel upgrades may take a full day or require multiple visits. We provide honest timelines upfront so you know what to expect.

What is a safety inspection?

A safety inspection examines your entire electrical system for code violations, fire hazards, and wear. We check panels, wiring, outlets, and grounding to identify problems before they become dangerous. This is especially important for older homes or after major storms in Cook County.

Can I install an EV charger at home?

Yes. Most Skokie homes can support a Level 2 EV charger with proper electrical upgrades. We assess your panel capacity, run dedicated circuits, and install the charger to manufacturer specifications. This gives you convenient, safe charging right at home.
