Chattfield Electric | Licensed Electrical Company in Northbrook, IL

Our comprehensive electrical inspection, performed by our IBEW Local 134 electricians, is a detailed evaluation of your home's entire electrical system. We check for code compliance, assess the condition of wiring and panels, test grounding systems for safety, and identify any potential hazards or overloaded circuits. For Northbrook residents, this is particularly valuable for older homes or before a major renovation to ensure your electrical system can handle modern demands safely.

Our Design/Build method means our electrical team is involved from the earliest planning stages. Using Auto-Cad, we collaborate directly with architects and builders to design the complete electrical system—from lighting layouts to panel placement—before construction begins. This integrated approach prevents costly changes later, ensures optimal system performance, and results in a more efficient and cohesive build for commercial projects and custom homes throughout Chicagoland.

Absolutely. For Northbrook homeowners, we address local storm concerns by inspecting and upgrading critical components. We evaluate your main electrical panel and service entry for vulnerability, ensure your grounding system is robust to handle lightning strikes or surges, and can install whole-house surge protection. Proper grounding is essential for safety during severe weather, and our electricians are trained to bring older systems up to current code standards, helping to protect your home and electronics.
