Questions and Answers

What does a commercial electrical inspection from Block Electric involve?

Our inspections are comprehensive evaluations of your facility's electrical system, conducted by our union-trained professionals. We assess wiring, panels, breakers, and safety devices to ensure everything meets current National Electrical Code (NEC) standards and operates efficiently. For our institutional and hospital clients, we pay special attention to life-safety systems and backup power. The process concludes with a detailed report outlining any findings and recommended solutions to enhance safety and prevent future issues.

As a Shorewood resident, why do my arc-fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) keep tripping?

Frequent AFCI trips are a common issue in older Shorewood homes, often signaling loose wiring, worn cords, or appliances with aging motors that create harmless but detectable 'arcs.' Block Electric's technicians are skilled at diagnosing the specific cause. We'll carefully inspect the affected circuits and outlets to locate any loose connections—a frequent culprit—and can recommend solutions like circuit upgrades or targeted repairs to restore reliable power while maintaining this important safety feature.

How does Block Electric's long history benefit my project?

Founded in 1920, our century of experience means we've encountered and solved virtually every electrical challenge. This deep institutional knowledge, especially with complex commercial and institutional systems, allows us to anticipate problems and implement durable solutions. Our team's union training ensures they are continuously updated on the latest code changes and installation techniques. You benefit from a proven, methodical approach focused on safety and longevity, honed over generations of serving the Chicagoland area.
