Electrician in Chicago: Residential and Commercial Electrical Services You Can Trust

Finding a dependable electrician in Chicago shouldn’t be a hassle. Whether you’re renovating your home, upgrading your business space, or dealing with an unexpected electrical issue, it’s important to work with licensed professionals who understand how to do the job right—safely, efficiently, and up to city code.

Local Electricians Who Understand Chicago Homes and Buildings

Chicago isn’t just any city. The homes here—many built over a hundred years ago—come with their own quirks. Add in mixed-use buildings, high-rises, and modern smart homes, and the need for an experienced electrician becomes obvious. Whether you’re in a brick two-flat in Logan Square or a condo in River North, the electrical setup needs to be handled by someone who knows the city and its systems.

Residential Electrical Services

Our team helps homeowners across Chicago handle everything from routine installations to full electrical remodels.

Electrical Panel Upgrades

Older panels can’t handle today’s energy needs. If your lights dim when you use the microwave or your breakers trip often, it may be time to upgrade. We replace outdated panels with safe, modern systems that can power today’s tech-heavy homes.

Rewiring and Troubleshooting

If your house has knob-and-tube wiring or aluminum wiring, it might be time for an update. We offer whole-home rewiring and diagnostics to keep your home safe and running efficiently.

Lighting Design and Installation

From under-cabinet kitchen lighting to outdoor security lights, we install clean, modern lighting solutions that match your space and lifestyle. We also specialize in LED conversions and energy-saving systems.

EV Charger Installation

Electric vehicle owner? We install Level 2 chargers for all major brands, ensuring fast, reliable charging at home. Permits, wiring, inspections—it’s all handled.

FAQs

Do I need a permit for electrical work in Chicago?

Yes, most major work requires a permit from the city. We handle all of that for you so you don’t have to deal with paperwork or inspections alone.

How do I know if I need to upgrade my electrical panel?

If your breakers keep tripping, you have a fuse box, or you’re installing high-powered appliances (like EV chargers or HVAC systems), it’s time to upgrade.

Can you work on old wiring?

Absolutely. Chicago is full of historic homes. We’re experienced with replacing knob-and-tube and aluminum wiring, and we take special care to preserve your home’s structure while bringing it up to code.

What should I do if an outlet feels warm or sparks?

Stop using it immediately and call us. That’s a warning sign that something’s wrong—possibly overheating or an overloaded circuit.

Do you install smart home equipment?

Yes. We install smart switches, smart lighting, thermostats, and home automation systems that integrate with apps like Google Home, Alexa, and Apple HomeKit.

What brands of EV chargers do you install?

We install most major brands, including Tesla, JuiceBox, ChargePoint, and more. We can help you choose the right one based on your car and home setup.

How fast can you come out for service?

For emergency calls, often same-day. For scheduled appointments, we aim for next-day or within a couple of business days, depending on your location and job size.
