Electrical Services Chicago IL | Call T B R Electric

Our standard electrical inspection is a thorough safety check of your home or business's electrical system. We examine wiring, outlets, panels, and grounding systems to identify any potential hazards, code violations, or areas needing repair or upgrade. For Chicago homes, we pay special attention to issues common in our climate, like meter corrosion. You'll receive a clear report detailing our findings and any recommended actions to ensure your system is safe and up to current standards.

An upgrade from a 100 amp to a 200 amp service is often recommended for older Chicago homes experiencing frequent breaker trips, adding major appliances like HVAC systems, or planning significant renovations. The increased capacity provides the modern power demands needed for safety and convenience. Our team can assess your current usage, panel condition, and future needs to determine if an upgrade is right for your home, ensuring it's completed to local code.

Chicago's weather can lead to electrical meter corrosion and improper grounding over time, which are serious safety concerns. During inspections or service calls, we specifically check for corrosion at the meter base and service entrance. For grounding issues, we test and, if necessary, repair or install a proper grounding electrode system to protect your home from electrical surges and ensure safe operation. Correcting these problems is a priority for us to maintain the long-term safety and reliability of your electrical system.
