Winnetka Electrician & Solar Installer | Prime Energy Group

These are common local concerns we address directly. For power surges, we recommend and install whole-house surge protectors at your main electrical panel, which safeguard all your sensitive electronics. For outdoor outlets, we ensure proper installation of weatherproof, GFCI-protected outlets and covers to prevent dangerous water intrusion. Our electric inspections can identify these and other vulnerabilities specific to your home.

A good starting point is understanding your current energy usage and your roof's condition and orientation. Our consultation includes reviewing your electric bills and conducting a site assessment. We'll explain the process from adding panels to an existing system, rooftop installation, and the benefits of different options like traditional panels or solar shingles. We also handle all permitting and provide clear information on maintenance, like panel cleaning, to ensure long-term performance.

Older panels may not safely handle the increased load from modern appliances, EV chargers, or home additions. Signs you might need an upgrade include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, or an inability to add new circuits. Our licensed electricians assess your panel's capacity and condition. The installation involves replacing the existing panel with a new, higher-capacity unit, ensuring your home's electrical system is safe, up to code, and ready for future needs.
