Our state-licensed electrical inspections provide a thorough assessment of your home's wiring, outlets, panels, and overall system safety. We specifically check for local concerns like overheated outlets and the potential hazards of older aluminum wiring, which is common in some area homes. The inspection identifies code violations, fire risks, and areas needing upgrade, giving you a clear report and honest recommendations to ensure your family's safety and your home's compliance with Illinois electrical codes.

Yes, absolutely. Aluminum wiring, found in many homes built from the mid-1960s to mid-1970s, can pose a fire risk due to connection loosening and corrosion over time. Our electricians are experienced in evaluating and remedying aluminum wiring hazards specific to Homewood-area homes. Solutions can include properly installing special connectors (CO/ALR devices) at outlets and switches, or we may recommend a more comprehensive repair like 'pigtailing' with copper wire. We'll provide a fair, honest assessment and explain the safest, most effective options for your situation.
