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 Gut rehabs in Chicago often reveal old knob-and-tube wiring or outdated panels—we replace it all and bring everything up to code.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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!
How much does an electrical panel replacement cost?
Panel replacements typically range from $1,500 to $3,000 depending on the size and complexity. We assess your current panel, check if it meets code, and give you a clear estimate before starting. Most replacements in Des Plaines or Schaumburg take one full day.
Do you offer same-day electrical service?
Yes, for emergencies and urgent repairs. If you call in the morning with a power outage or safety issue, we'll get someone to your property the same day. Non-emergency work usually gets scheduled within 24 hours depending on availability.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Every electrician on our team holds a valid Illinois electrical license and full insurance coverage. That protects your property and guarantees the work meets local code requirements. Inspectors verify our work, and it passes.
How long does an EV charger installation take?
Most residential EV charger installations take 3 to 5 hours. We install the charger, run a dedicated circuit from your panel, and test everything before we leave. If your panel needs an upgrade to handle the load, that adds time but we'll let you know upfront.
What areas do you serve in Chicagoland?
We serve the entire Chicagoland area, including Des Plaines, Elgin, Schaumburg, Arlington Heights, Hoffman Estates, Wheaton, and surrounding suburbs. If you're within the greater Chicago area, we can get to your property.
Do you handle commercial electrical work?
Yes. We work on office buildings, retail spaces, restaurants, and industrial facilities across Chicagoland. Our team handles everything from lighting upgrades to full electrical system installations. Businesses call us because we work fast and don't cause delays.
Can you troubleshoot electrical problems without rewiring everything?
Most of the time, yes. Flickering lights or dead outlets often come from a single bad connection, faulty breaker, or damaged wire. We diagnose the issue, explain what's wrong, and fix just what needs fixing. If the whole system needs work, we'll tell you—but we don't push unnecessary rewires.
What's included in your 100% satisfaction guarantee?
If the work doesn't solve the problem or meet your expectations, we come back and fix it at no additional cost. You're paying for electrical work that lasts and functions correctly. If something goes wrong after we leave, call us and we'll make it right.
