Diversey Electrical Company: Reliable Electrical Company Serving Chicago 60639

Our thorough electrical inspection is designed to identify potential hazards and ensure your system is up to current Chicago and Illinois codes. We'll check your main service panel for capacity and safety, inspect wiring in accessible areas, test outlets and GFCIs, and evaluate your grounding system. For older homes, we pay special attention to common local issues like outdated aluminum wiring or signs of rodent damage. You'll receive a detailed report outlining our findings and any recommended repairs or upgrades to keep your home safe.

Chicago's weather demands durable, weather-rated fixtures and proper installation to prevent moisture issues. Our team handles everything from planning the layout for both security and aesthetics to running safe, code-compliant wiring—often through conduits for added protection. We ensure all outdoor circuits are protected by Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) as required, and we can integrate timers or motion sensors for convenience and energy efficiency. We'll help you choose the right lighting solution that can withstand our winters and enhance your outdoor space.

Absolutely. Aluminum wiring, common in many Chicago homes built between the mid-1960s and late 1970s, can pose a fire risk due to oxidation and loosening connections over time. Our electricians are trained in identifying and mitigating this specific hazard. We can perform a detailed inspection to assess the condition of your wiring and recommend the safest course of action, which may include installing specially designed connectors (CO/ALR rated) at all termination points or, in some cases, recommending a partial or full rewiring with modern copper. Addressing this proactively is key to maintaining a safe electrical system.
