Frequently Asked Questions

My GFCI outlets in my Streamwood kitchen or bathroom keep tripping. Is this a simple repair or a sign of a bigger problem?

Frequently tripping GFCI outlets are a common issue in Streamwood homes and can indicate a few things. Often, it's a faulty outlet itself, which we can quickly replace. However, it can also point to underlying problems like moisture intrusion or a ground fault in the connected circuit. Our electricians will diagnose the root cause—whether it's a simple outlet repair or a more involved wire repair—to ensure your home is safe and your outlets function reliably.

I live in an older Streamwood home and am worried about my wiring. What should I look for, and what does an electrical inspection involve?

For older homes in our area, signs like flickering lights, warm outlets, frequent breaker trips, or a lack of modern three-prong outlets are key indicators. Our comprehensive electrical inspection examines your entire system—from the main panel and circuit breakers to the wiring behind your walls. We check for outdated materials like knob-and-tube wiring, assess your panel's capacity, and identify any safety hazards. This inspection gives you a clear plan for any needed upgrades, like panel replacement or full rewiring, for peace of mind.

Can Point Electric upgrade my older electrical panel to support new additions like an EV charger or outdoor lighting?

Absolutely. Many older electrical panels in Streamwood aren't equipped to handle modern demands. Adding an electric vehicle charging station, outdoor lighting, or major appliances often requires a panel upgrade. Our experts will assess your current panel's capacity and safely install a new, higher-amperage panel with room for future circuits. This upgrade not only enables safe EV charger installation but also improves overall home safety and prevents overloads, making it a smart investment for your home's electrical future.
