Skyline Electric - Chicago's Experienced Electrical Contractor

Our comprehensive electrical inspection for Chicago homes and condos is designed to ensure safety and code compliance. We thoroughly check your electrical panel for capacity and wear, test all outlets and switches for proper grounding and function, inspect wiring in accessible areas, and evaluate your home's overall electrical load. In downtown high-rises, we pay special attention to common issues like overheated outlets, which can indicate overloaded circuits in older buildings. This inspection helps identify potential hazards and provides a clear plan for any necessary repairs or upgrades.

Overheated electrical outlets in Chicago's high-rises should be addressed promptly, as they can be a fire hazard. This often points to an overloaded circuit or faulty wiring, common in older downtown buildings with updated appliances. As your local electrician, we recommend turning off power to that outlet and calling us for same-day service. Our team is familiar with the specific electrical systems in downtown condos and apartments, and we can quickly diagnose and resolve the issue, whether it requires rewiring, adding a new circuit, or upgrading your panel to handle modern electrical demands.

Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency service, including for backup generator and transfer switch issues. Chicago's weather can lead to sudden power outages, and a malfunctioning generator can leave you without critical power. Our downtown-based team can respond quickly to diagnose problems with your generator's automatic transfer switch, starter, or fuel system. We service all major brands and can perform emergency repairs to get your backup power running, ensuring your home or business remains safe and operational during an outage.
