FAQs
What's included in a professional electrical inspection for my Chicago home?
Our comprehensive electrical inspection involves a licensed electrician checking your home's entire system for safety and code compliance. We examine your main service panel, wiring, outlets, and grounding, paying close attention to common local issues like outdated aluminum wiring and meter corrosion. The inspection provides a clear report on any potential hazards or inefficiencies, helping you prioritize repairs for safety and peace of mind.
Can Power Up Electric handle my security camera and monitoring system setup?
Yes, absolutely. As part of our low-voltage electrical services, we professionally install security cameras, doorbells, and the necessary wiring. We can integrate these systems with your existing electrical setup, ensuring reliable power and optimal placement for coverage. While we install the hardware, we can also advise on compatible monitoring services to create a complete security solution for your property.
How do you address the specific electrical hazards common in older Chicago homes, like aluminum wiring?
Chicago's older homes often have aluminum wiring, which can pose a fire risk due to connection issues. Our licensed electricians are trained to identify and safely remediate this hazard. Solutions can include installing special connectors (CO/ALR devices) at outlets or, in some cases, recommending a partial re-wire with modern copper. We also check for and repair corrosion at the electrical meter, a common problem in our climate that can lead to power failures.
