Electrical Repair Rockford IL | Call United Electric Service

Our thorough electrical inspection checks your home's entire system for safety and code compliance. We examine the service panel, wiring, outlets, and fixtures, paying special attention to common local issues like aging aluminum wiring or previous DIY repairs. The goal is to identify potential hazards, ensure your system can handle modern electrical loads, and provide a clear report with recommendations to keep your home safe and up-to-date.

Proper lighting design is crucial for both functionality and safety in wet or high-use areas like kitchens and bathrooms. Our design process considers task lighting for countertops, ambient lighting for overall illumination, and accent lighting for features. We ensure all fixtures are correctly placed and wired, using GFCI outlets where required by code, to create a space that is not only beautiful but also practical and safe for daily use.

Aluminum wiring, common in homes built from the mid-1960s to late 1970s, can pose a fire hazard due to its tendency to loosen and oxidize at connections. We are experienced in identifying and remedying this specific local issue. Our solutions include installing specially rated CO/ALR devices or, more permanently, using approved methods like 'pigtailing' with copper wire at termination points to ensure a safe, reliable, and code-compliant connection throughout your electrical system.
