Big Oaks Master Electrician | Local Electrical Company in Chicago, IL

Our electrical inspection is a comprehensive safety check of your home's wiring, panels, outlets, and grounding systems. Given the common local issues with improper grounding and potential rodent damage in Chicago, we pay special attention to these areas. We'll identify any hazards, code violations, or worn components and provide you with a clear, prioritized plan for any necessary repairs or upgrades to ensure your system is safe and reliable.

Absolutely. We specialize in outdoor lighting installations designed to withstand Chicago's varied climate, from harsh winters to humid summers. We use weather-resistant fixtures and proper sealing techniques to prevent moisture damage. Our installation includes ensuring the wiring is protected and correctly grounded, which is crucial for both safety and longevity given the local soil and environmental conditions.

For rodent-damaged wiring, we safely remove the compromised sections and rerun new, protected wiring, often using conduit in vulnerable areas to prevent future issues. For improper grounding—a frequent finding in older Chicago homes—we evaluate your current system and bring it up to modern safety codes, which may involve installing new grounding rods or upgrading panel connections. Both repairs are critical for preventing electrical shocks and fire hazards.
