North Shore Electric | Reliable Electrical Repair in Skokie, IL

Our electrical inspection is a comprehensive safety and performance check of your home's entire system. We examine wiring, panels, outlets, and grounding to identify potential hazards, inefficiencies, or code violations. For Skokie residents, this includes a specific assessment for common local issues like aging aluminum wiring or improper grounding, which can pose fire and safety risks. We provide a clear report of our findings and recommend practical solutions to ensure your home's electrical system is safe, reliable, and up to current standards.

Aluminum wiring, found in many homes built during the 1960s and 70s, requires special attention due to its potential for overheating at connections. Our electricians are trained to identify and safely address this hazard. We can perform a thorough inspection to assess the condition and extent of the aluminum wiring in your home. Depending on the situation, we may recommend and perform specific repairs, such as installing COPALUM crimp connectors or, in some cases, advising on a partial or full rewiring with modern copper to permanently eliminate the risk and bring your home up to current safety codes.

Standby generators provide automatic, whole-home backup power during an outage, which is crucial for safety, comfort, and protecting your home's systems. Our fully automatic units run on natural gas or LP, so you don't need to refuel them manually. For Skokie homeowners, this means peace of mind during severe storms or grid issues. We handle the professional installation, including proper connection to your home's electrical panel and compliance with local codes, ensuring your family stays safe and your sump pumps, heating, and refrigeration continue to operate without interruption.
