Questions and Answers
What is involved in a standard electrical inspection for an Arlington Heights home?
Our electrical inspection is a thorough review of your home's wiring, panels, outlets, and safety systems. For Arlington Heights residents, we pay special attention to common issues in the area's housing stock, such as aging wiring systems and the potential hazards of older aluminum wiring. The inspection helps identify any code violations, safety risks, or inefficiencies, providing you with a clear, prioritized report and recommendations for any necessary repairs or upgrades to ensure your home's electrical system is safe and reliable.
Can G Vlahos Electric help with outdoor lighting installation, including navigating local rebates?
Absolutely. We specialize in outdoor lighting installation for pathways, security, and landscape features. As an ICC-certified Energy Efficiency Installer, we are well-versed in the latest LED technology and can often help you take advantage of available energy efficiency rebates from local utilities. This makes upgrading your Arlington Heights home's exterior lighting not only an improvement in safety and curb appeal but also a cost-effective investment in the long run.
My Arlington Heights home has older wiring. What should I know about aluminum wiring hazards?
Many older homes in our area have aluminum wiring, which can pose a fire risk due to its tendency to oxidize and loosen at connections over time. It's a local issue we handle with specific expertise. We can perform a detailed inspection to assess the condition of your wiring. Solutions may include installing special connectors (CO/ALR devices) at all outlets and switches, or we may recommend a partial or complete rewiring with modern copper for maximum safety and peace of mind.
