Brunswick Electric Corporation | Professional Electrical Services in Chicago, IL

An electrical inspection is a proactive safety measure. Our certified electricians will thoroughly examine your home's wiring, circuit load, and outlet connections. In Chicago's older homes, outdated wiring and overburdened circuits are common causes of overheating. We identify these risks, recommend necessary upgrades like AFCI/GFCI outlets or circuit breaker replacements, and ensure everything is up to current Chicago electrical code to prevent fire hazards before they start.

Signs include frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering lights, or power loss in specific areas, especially after heavy rain or ground shifts common in our region. While direct inspection often requires excavation, we use non-invasive diagnostic tools like cable locators and insulation resistance testers during our inspection service. We trace cable paths and assess their integrity to pinpoint the damage location accurately, saving you time and cost on unnecessary digging.

Chicago's historic architecture is beautiful, but many older homes have outdated electrical systems not designed for modern power demands. Our inspection goes beyond a standard home inspector's check. We look for specific local issues like knob-and-tube wiring nearing failure, insufficient grounding, and overloaded panels—all common culprits behind overheated outlets and cable failures. We provide a detailed report to help you negotiate repairs and ensure your new home is safe from day one.
