Schwan Electric - Chicago's Emergency Electrical Company

Our Chicago electricians use specialized testing equipment during an inspection to measure your electrical system's grounding integrity. We check for proper connections to grounding rods, verify that all outlets are correctly grounded (a common issue in older Chicago homes), and ensure the system can safely handle fault currents. This prevents shock hazards and protects your appliances from voltage spikes common in our area.

We approach this with a neighborly, safety-first mindset. Our inspection will thoroughly assess the DIY work for code compliance, proper connections, and potential hidden dangers like overloaded circuits or faulty wiring behind walls. We'll provide a clear, honest report on what's safe, what needs correction, and a straightforward plan to fix it, ensuring your Chicago home is protected from fire and electrical failure risks.

Chicago's mix of vintage housing stock and fluctuating weather can stress electrical systems over time. A proactive inspection can uncover latent issues like deteriorating insulation, insufficient grounding (a frequent local finding), or outdated components before they cause a power outage, damage expensive electronics, or create a safety hazard. It's a smart investment in your home's safety and reliability.
