What electrical services do you offer in Winnetka?

We handle a full range of residential electrical work in Winnetka, from electrical repairs and outlet installations to electrical panel upgrades, circuit installations, and whole-home surge protection. Our team also installs EV chargers, recessed lighting, smart home systems, and outdoor lighting. If your home needs electrical work, we're equipped to handle it.

How do I know if my electrical panel needs to be upgraded?

Your panel needs attention if breakers trip repeatedly, lights flicker under load, or you're running a 100-amp service in a home with modern appliances. Most Winnetka homes built before the 1980s were wired for far less demand than today's electrical systems require. A licensed electrician will assess your current panel, confirm whether an upgrade to 200-amp service is needed, and walk you through the process before any work starts.

Can you install an EV charger at my Winnetka home?

We install Level 2 EV charging stations for all major vehicle brands, including Tesla. A Level 2 charger runs on a dedicated 240-volt circuit and delivers a full charge overnight, compared to the 20+ hours it takes a standard Level 1 outlet, depending on the battery size. We handle the wiring, the dedicated circuit installation, and any permit requirements so the installation meets local electrical code.

What is whole-home surge protection, and do I need it?

Whole-home surge protection is a device installed at your electrical panel that blocks voltage spikes before they reach your appliances, smart home devices, and electronics. A single power surge can damage HVAC systems, refrigerators, and connected devices throughout your home. For Winnetka properties with smart home setups, home lighting control systems, or high-end appliances, surge protection is a practical layer of defense.

Do you work on older Winnetka homes?

Handling the electrical needs of older homes is a significant part of what we do. Many homes in Winnetka were built in the mid-20th century with wiring systems that weren't designed for today's electrical demands. Aluminum wiring, outdated panels, and two-prong outlets without grounding are common in homes of that era. Our electricians assess the existing system, explain what needs to be addressed to meet current NEC standards, and give you a clear picture of the work involved before we start.
