Nix Electric - Chicago's Local Electrical Services

Our electrical inspection is a comprehensive safety check for your home. We examine your circuit breaker panel for proper function, test outlets and GFCIs, inspect wiring in accessible areas for damage, and ensure all connections are secure. In Chicago, we pay special attention to older home systems and any signs of wear from seasonal weather, providing you with a clear report and recommendations to keep your home safe and up to code.

Chicago's severe weather can lead to power surges and outages. We recommend having a licensed electrician inspect your main panel and grounding system before storm season. We can check for loose connections, ensure your surge protectors are functioning, and advise on the safety of your electrical system during an outage. After a storm, we're available to safely restore power and address any damage from lightning strikes or fallen branches affecting your service line.

Yes, due to Chicago's lake-effect humidity, winter road salt, and temperature swings, meter base corrosion is a frequent local problem. This corrosion can lead to poor connections, overheating, and even power failure. It's a safety concern that requires professional attention. We can inspect your meter base and mast for corrosion, safely clean the contacts if possible, and recommend a replacement if the integrity is compromised, ensuring your home's connection to ComEd is secure and efficient.
