Q&A

Why is a professional electrical inspection important if I've attempted DIY repairs in my Chicago home?

Chicago's older homes often have complex, updated wiring that requires expert knowledge. A professional inspection from Lightning Bolt Electric can identify any code violations or safety hazards created by well-intentioned DIY work, such as overloaded circuits or improper connections. We ensure everything is up to Chicago's specific electrical codes, preventing potential fire risks and ensuring your family's safety.

How can an electrical inspection help with my generator transfer switch not working properly?

A transfer switch is a critical safety device that isolates your generator from the utility grid. If it's malfunctioning, it's a major hazard. Our comprehensive electrical inspection will diagnose the issue—whether it's a faulty switch, incorrect installation, or a wiring problem. We'll provide a clear solution to ensure your Chicago home has safe, automatic backup power when you need it most during storms or outages.

What does your electrical inspection cover regarding past DIY repairs on my Chicago property?

Our inspection is thorough and tailored to common local issues. We meticulously check all previous work for proper wire gauges, secure connections in junction boxes, correct breaker sizing, and grounding. We look for the specific red flags of amateur work that are common in Chicago-area homes. You'll receive a detailed report on any safety concerns and a straightforward plan to bring your electrical system up to safe, reliable standards.
