Service panel — pick a circuit Live

A standby generator sized to your load, wired to a transfer switch, so heat, fridge and sump keep running when the grid drops.

Why people call us

Most calls start with the same four symptoms.

You don't need a diagnosis over the phone. You need someone who tests, explains what they found, and prices the fix before starting.

What you're dealing with

  • Breakers trip when the AC, the oven and the dryer run at the same time.
  • The panel is full — no room for an EV charger, a hot tub or a finished basement.
  • Every storm means candles, a spoiled fridge and a sump pump that stops.
  • The last contractor quoted a number and never explained what was in it.

What working with us looks like

  • We test the circuit and the panel capacity first, then tell you what actually failed.
  • An itemized quote, in writing, before the work is scheduled.
  • Certified electricians and modern test equipment on every visit — no apprentices sent alone.
  • A walkthrough at the end, and a support line that answers 24/7.

Services

Four kinds of work, one crew.

Specialised installations plus the everyday electrical work that keeps a property running — for homes, businesses and industrial sites across the Chicago area.

  • Mounted, tested and demonstrated before we leave

Panel upgrade

Modern appliances draw more than the panel was built for. We check whether yours still has the capacity — and replace it when it doesn't.

  • Main breaker panel installation and replacement
  • Capacity upgrade for chargers, HVAC and additions
  • Routine panel checks on older properties

FAQ

Questions we get before the quote.

The chargepoint is mounted on an exterior wall or in the garage, ideally close to where you park. From there it's connected safely to the mains supply on its own circuit, so charging is reliable and doesn't fight the rest of the house for capacity.

Power output first — what has to keep running when the grid drops. Then fuel efficiency, weight and portability, durability, safety features and your budget. We go through that list with you and match a unit to it, rather than selling you the biggest one on the shelf.

It's worth it if the panel is outdated, damaged or short on capacity. An upgrade improves energy efficiency, adds protection against electrical fires, and removes the ceiling that stops you adding a charger, HVAC or a finished basement. It also helps at resale.
