Electrical and Energy Solutions - Northbrook's Emergency Electrical Company

After a power surge, first check for any appliances or electronics that won't turn on. Look for tripped circuit breakers in your panel and reset them. If an outlet or switch is warm, discolored, or emitting a burning smell, stop using it immediately. These can be signs of internal damage that pose a fire risk. Our electricians can perform a thorough inspection, repair damaged wiring or components, and install surge protection devices to safeguard your Northbrook home from future events.

Our electrical inspections are thorough evaluations of your home's system. We check the main service panel for proper capacity and safety, test outlets and switches for correct wiring and grounding, inspect visible wiring for damage, and assess all installed fixtures. For older Northbrook homes, we pay special attention to outdated components like knob-and-tube wiring or insufficient outlets. The inspection provides a clear report on any immediate safety issues, code violations, or recommended upgrades to improve reliability and efficiency.

Yes, we specialize in EV charging station installation. The process starts with an assessment of your home's electrical panel to ensure it can handle the added load. For many homes, this is straightforward, but some may require a panel upgrade. We handle all aspects: running the proper gauge wiring from the panel to your garage or driveway, installing a dedicated circuit, mounting the charging unit, and ensuring everything is permitted and up to local Northbrook and national electrical codes for safe, optimal charging.
