Q&A
We're experiencing flickering lights in our Chicago bungalow. What could be the cause, and can you help?
Flickering lights in older Chicago homes are common and often point to outdated wiring, a faulty connection, or an overloaded circuit. These issues can be more than a nuisance; they can be a safety concern. Our electricians are familiar with the wiring in Chicago's diverse housing stock. We'll diagnose the root cause, whether it's in a specific fixture, your electrical panel, or the home's main wiring, and provide a clear, lasting repair to ensure your home's electrical system is safe and reliable.
Do you handle the electrical and plumbing for a full bathroom addition?
Yes, we do. As a full-service contractor, United Electrical Service manages the entire process for a bathroom addition. Our licensed electricians will handle all new wiring, GFCI outlet installation, and lighting. Our plumbers will manage the drain, water supply, and gas line rough-ins for your new shower, toilet, and sink. We coordinate these trades seamlessly, ensuring all work meets Chicago building codes. This integrated approach saves you time and provides a single point of contact for your project from start to finish.
What's involved in installing an electric vehicle charging station at my home?
Installing a home EV charger typically requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit from your main electrical panel. Our process starts with an inspection of your panel to ensure it has the capacity for the added load. We then run the proper gauge wiring to your desired location, usually a garage or driveway, and install a NEMA 14-50 outlet or a hardwired charging unit. We handle all necessary permits for Chicago and ensure the installation is up to code, providing you with a safe, convenient way to power your vehicle.
