Palatine Electrical Contractors - Palatine's Trusted Electrical Company

We frequently address aluminum wiring in Palatine-area homes. This older wiring can loosen at connections over time, creating a serious overheating and fire risk. Our solution involves installing special, code-approved connectors (called COPALUM or AlumiConn) at every outlet, switch, and junction. This creates a safe, permanent bond between the aluminum wire and newer copper components, effectively mitigating the hazard without the extreme cost of a full rewire. We can assess your specific situation and provide a clear recommendation to enhance your home's electrical safety.

Installing a home EV charger is a popular service we provide. The process starts with our electrician evaluating your home's electrical panel to ensure it has the capacity for the added load of a Level 2 charger. We then handle all aspects of the installation: running the proper gauge wiring from your panel to your desired location (typically a garage or driveway), installing a dedicated circuit breaker, and mounting the charging unit itself. We ensure the installation meets all local Palatine codes and is performed safely, so you can charge your vehicle reliably and efficiently.

A frequently tripping breaker is a safety device telling you there's a problem. Simply replacing it is not the solution and can be dangerous. The issue could be an overloaded circuit, a short circuit in your wiring, or a faulty appliance. Our electricians will first diagnose the root cause by testing the circuit and inspecting the connected outlets and wiring. The repair might involve redistracting the electrical load, repairing damaged wire, or, if the panel itself is outdated or faulty, recommending a panel upgrade. We fix the problem at its source to ensure your electrical system operates safely.
