Why Electrical Upgrades Are Important

Many Chicago properties were built decades ago, long before modern appliances, computers, and energy systems.

An outdated electrical system can cause frequent breaker trips, dimming lights, or worse — unsafe conditions that increase the risk of fire. By upgrading, you:


  • Increase system capacity for modern devices.


  • Improve safety with proper grounding and protective devices.


  • Reduce energy waste with efficient lighting and equipment.


  • Add convenience through smart controls and new circuits.


  • Prepare your property for future technology and expansion.

Types of Electrical Upgrades We Provide

Panel and Service Upgrades

Old or undersized panels can’t handle today’s electrical demands. We replace outdated equipment with modern panels, upgrade service capacity, and ensure proper grounding and bonding for a safer system.

Dedicated Circuits

Appliances like refrigerators, microwaves, washers, dryers, and HVAC units need dedicated circuits. We add properly sized circuits to reduce tripping breakers and extend the life of your equipment.

Lighting Upgrades

Lighting has a major impact on comfort and efficiency. We install energy-efficient fixtures, redesign layouts for better illumination, and add smart dimmers or controls that fit your lifestyle or business needs.

Surge Protection

Power surges can damage electronics and appliances instantly. Whole-home or whole-building surge protection helps safeguard your investments during storms or grid fluctuations.

Safety Upgrades

We add GFCIs and AFCIs where required, replace ungrounded outlets, and install tamper-resistant receptacles for child and guest safety.

Smart Technology and Controls

From app-based lighting controls to advanced timers and occupancy sensors, we install smart solutions that improve convenience and reduce energy use.
