Pick the closest match and leave your number. We call back, ask a few questions and give you a time window. If something is sparking or smells hot right now, call instead.
If anything starts to spark or smell hot before we call, switch off that breaker and call us.

What we do
Most calls start with something that stopped working, or something new you want to plug in. We check what your system can carry, do the work to code, and tell you plainly if anything else needs attention.
Old fuse boxes, panels with no open slots, and 60- or 100-amp services that can’t carry an EV charger or a new kitchen. We size the upgrade to what you actually run, pull the permit, schedule the shutoff with ComEd and meet the inspector.
100 · 200 amp · Fuse box replacementA Level 2 charger in the garage or on the driveway. We check whether your panel can carry it first, run the circuit, mount the charger you bought or help you pick one, and handle the permit.
Level 2 · Load check · PermitWhen a storm takes the power out, you want the furnace, sump pump and fridge running without cords through a window. We install inlet boxes with interlocks for portable generators, and transfer switches for standby units.
Inlet · Interlock · Transfer switchRecessed lights, kitchen pendants, under-cabinet strips, ceiling fans, dimmers and outdoor lights. We plan the layout with you and fish wire through the walls with as few holes as the job allows.
Recessed · Pendants · Fans · OutdoorA breaker that keeps tripping, an outlet that went dead, lights that dim when the AC kicks on, a GFCI that won’t reset. We trace it to the cause with a meter instead of swapping parts until it goes away.
Tripping · Dead outlets · FlickerHome inspection flagged double-tapped breakers, missing GFCIs, open junction boxes or a do-it-yourself basement circuit? We work through the list and give you a written summary for the buyer or seller.
Inspection lists · GFCI · Smoke alarmsKitchen and basement remodels, additions, and small shops and offices. We rough in before the drywall goes up, finish after, work to your contractor’s schedule or yours, and handle the permit and both inspections.
Kitchens · Basements · Additions · Small shopsText a photo of the panel, the outlet or the breaker that won’t reset. We’ll tell you if it needs someone today and what to switch off in the meantime.
On the job
How it works
Tell us what’s happening. If something smells hot or is sparking, we tell you what to switch off first.
At the house we find the cause and give you the price before we touch anything. You decide.
Most repairs are done the same visit. Upgrades and installs get a set date, with the permit already pulled.
We test every circuit we touched with you, label the panel, and leave the area clean.
In their words
Sample reviews for this demo · a live site shows the business’s real Google reviews
“Our kitchen breaker kept tripping. He found a loose connection in a box behind the fridge in about twenty minutes, and never tried to sell us a new panel.”
“We were told we’d need a new panel for our car charger. He ran the numbers, showed us we had room, and had the charger working the same afternoon.”
“Put in a generator inlet before winter. He walked us through switching over, step by step, and taped a card with the steps inside the panel door.”
