Experienced Electrical Contractor in Skokie, IL 60076 - Howard Simons Electrical

Our electrical inspection is a thorough assessment of your home or business's wiring, outlets, panels, and overall system safety. With over 35 years of experience, we specifically look for common local issues like outdated aluminum wiring or signs of damaged underground cables. The inspection provides a clear report on any hazards, code violations, or needed upgrades, giving Skokie residents peace of mind and a practical plan for repairs or improvements.

Aluminum wiring, found in many homes built from the mid-1960s to late 1970s, can be a fire hazard due to oxidation and loose connections. We safely evaluate this wiring and offer reliable solutions tailored for Skokie residents. This often involves installing special connectors (called COPALUM or AlumiConn) at all outlets and switches to ensure a secure, safe transition between the aluminum wiring and newer devices, significantly reducing the risk.
