FAQs
What's involved in an electrical inspection from Norb & Sons, and why might I need one in my Des Plaines home?
An electrical inspection from our team involves a thorough safety check of your home's wiring, panels, outlets, and fixtures to identify any potential hazards or code violations. For Des Plaines residents, this is especially important to address common local issues like overloaded breaker panels from aging home systems or improper DIY repairs from previous homeowners. Our inspection provides peace of mind, ensures your family's safety, and can be a crucial first step before a renovation or if you're experiencing frequent electrical issues.
We want to install new outdoor lighting for safety and ambiance. Can Norb & Sons handle the design and installation?
Absolutely. Our team has extensive experience with outdoor lighting installations in the Des Plaines area, from security lighting for driveways and parking lots to aesthetic landscape lighting for patios and gardens. We handle the entire process, from helping you choose the right energy-efficient fixtures for your needs to the professional installation and wiring, ensuring the system is weatherproof, properly grounded, and enhances both the safety and beauty of your property.
My home's electrical system can't handle modern appliances, a common problem here. What does a service upgrade or panel change involve?
Many older homes in Des Plaines have electrical systems that weren't designed for today's power demands, leading to overloaded panels and tripped breakers. A service upgrade or panel change from Norb & Sons involves safely replacing your outdated electrical panel with a new, higher-capacity unit that meets current code. Our licensed electricians manage the entire process, including coordination with your utility company, to provide a reliable and safe electrical foundation for your home, preventing hazards and supporting all your modern appliances and devices.
