1110 Hull Ter Fl 1, Evanston, IL 60202
Q&A
What should I expect during an electrical inspection from Face Electric in Evanston?
Our electrical inspections are thorough and safety-focused. We systematically check your panel, wiring, outlets (including GFCIs), and fixtures against the latest Chicago Electrical Code. For Evanston homes, we pay special attention to common local issues like GFCI performance in kitchens and bathrooms, and proper ceiling fan mounting and wiring. You'll receive a clear, written report detailing any concerns, code violations, or potential hazards, along with straightforward recommendations for repair or upgrade.
My GFCI outlet in the kitchen keeps tripping. Is this a common issue in Evanston, and can you fix it?
Yes, GFCI outlet failures are a frequent call we get from Evanston residents, often due to our climate's humidity affecting older outlets or underlying wiring faults. We don't just replace the outlet; we diagnose the root cause. This could be a faulty GFCI, moisture intrusion, a wiring short, or a problem with an appliance on the circuit. We'll find the issue, explain it to you, and provide a reliable repair that ensures your home's safety.
You mention 'We patch our holes ready for paint.' How does this benefit me as a homeowner?
This practice is part of our commitment to a clean, complete job. When we need to cut into drywall to run new wire or access wiring—common for fixing shorts, adding circuits, or installing fixtures—we professionally patch and finish the area afterward. This means you're left with a fully functional electrical system and a wall that's ready for your painter, saving you time, hassle, and the cost of hiring a separate drywall contractor.
