Highwood Licensed Electrician: Reliable Electrical Company Serving Highwood 60040

Yes, absolutely. A comprehensive electrical inspection is the first step in identifying if your home has outdated aluminum wiring, which is a known fire hazard. Our licensed electricians will carefully check your wiring, outlets, and panel to assess its condition and provide clear recommendations for making it safe, which may include proper pigtailing or complete rewiring.

An outlet that feels warm or hot to the touch is a serious warning sign of an overloaded circuit, loose connections, or failing components, all of which can lead to electrical fires. Our electrical inspection pinpoints the exact cause of the overheating—whether it's at the outlet itself, in the wiring behind the wall, or at the circuit breaker. We then fix the issue to eliminate the hazard.

We recommend an electrical inspection every 3-5 years for older homes, or before purchasing a home, especially in Highwood where many houses may have aging electrical systems. You should also schedule an inspection immediately if you notice any warning signs like flickering lights, buzzing sounds, hot outlets, or frequently tripped breakers to address potential hazards like aluminum wiring degradation before they become dangerous.
