Kolalis Construction & Electric | Emergency Electrical Repair in Orland Park, IL

An electrical inspection from our licensed team is the best first step for older homes. We'll thoroughly check your wiring, circuit breakers, and outlets for signs of wear, overheating, or outdated materials that don't meet current safety codes. This proactive service can identify fire hazards or potential failures before they cause damage or an outage, giving you a clear plan to modernize your home's electrical system safely.

A professionally installed transfer switch is crucial for safe backup power. It creates a direct, code-compliant connection between your generator and your home's electrical panel, preventing dangerous backfeed into utility lines—a risk to repair crews. Our electricians ensure the switch is correctly sized and installed, allowing you to safely power essential circuits during an outage, which is especially important during our area's severe weather.

Watch for frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, buzzing outlets, or a burning smell from switches—these often point to overloaded or aging wiring. Homes built before 1980 are particularly at risk. If you're adding major appliances or your outlets aren't grounded (two-prong outlets), an inspection is strongly recommended to assess your system's capacity and safety for your family.
