Experienced Electrical Repair in Buffalo Grove, IL 60089 - Revere Electric

Absolutely. A comprehensive electrical inspection by Revere Electric is the first step in identifying aluminum wiring, which is common in many Buffalo Grove homes built from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s. Our inspectors are trained to spot the telltale signs and can assess the condition of the wiring and connections, which can become hazardous over time. We'll provide a detailed report and expert recommendations for remediation to ensure your home's electrical system is safe.

Improper or absent grounding is a serious safety issue we frequently find in local inspections. Without a proper ground, fault currents have no safe path to earth, which can lead to electric shock, damage to appliances, and a significantly increased risk of electrical fire. Our inspection will test your home's grounding system. If deficiencies are found, we can install or upgrade grounding rods and connections to bring your Buffalo Grove home up to current National Electrical Code standards.

Don't panic, but do take action. Revere Electric will outline a clear, prioritized plan. For aluminum wiring, solutions may include installing COPALUM crimp connectors at all connections or, in some cases, a partial rewiring with copper. For grounding issues, we will install a proper grounding electrode system. Both repairs are crucial for eliminating fire and shock hazards. We handle the entire process from permit to final inspection, giving you peace of mind that your home is safe and code-compliant.
