Q&A

What is involved in a professional electrical inspection for my Ottawa home?

Our thorough electrical inspection involves checking your home's entire system for safety and code compliance. We examine the main service panel, wiring, outlets, switches, and grounding systems. For local homeowners, we pay special attention to common issues like signs of overheating at outlets and any evidence of rodent damage to wiring in attics or crawl spaces. This inspection helps identify potential hazards and provides a clear plan for any needed repairs or upgrades to ensure your family's safety.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency electrical service in the La Salle County area?

Yes, we provide 24-hour, 7-day-a-week emergency electrical service throughout Ottawa, Peru, La Salle, and the surrounding communities. Our local team is on call to respond quickly to urgent issues like power outages, storm-damaged poles, sparking outlets, or failed sump pumps. As a union contractor with deep local roots since 1919, you can count on our certified electricians for prompt, reliable, and safe emergency repairs any time of day or night.

I have an outlet that's warm to the touch. Is this a common issue in older Ottawa homes?

Yes, overheating outlets are a frequent concern in older homes, often due to outdated wiring or circuits being overloaded with modern appliances. This is a serious fire hazard that should be addressed immediately. Our electricians can diagnose the cause, which may include loose connections, faulty wiring, or the need for a dedicated circuit. We'll provide a safe, permanent repair, which may involve rewiring or upgrading the outlet and circuit to meet current safety standards for your home.
