"From installing metal conduit, grounding all outlets, heighten electrical service pole, and installing new outlets- just to name a few details of this big project- they did it all and a great job! They were respectful of my property, insightful, and knowledgeable about residential electrical work. I had 3 other bidders for the job and I choose GRA because they actually took the time to assess the property and make recommendations. Additionally, they pointed out other electrical concerns that the other bidders did not notice. GRAâ s price was also the most affordable. They understood the job/upgrades needed and what I was looking for. Electrical safety was my top priority and it was great to work with a company with the same goal. The other bidders/competitors were recommending leaving outlets â ungroundedâ but update to GFCI and label as â no groundâ for close to the same price as GRA that was installing metal conduit and grounding every outlet throughout the home. It really shows GRAâ s commitment to safety and the project at hand. I highly recommend GRA for your residential home needs! There is no project too big or too small! They did a fantastic job !"

"We usually do not write reviews, but you come across a company that provides such excellent service you want to let others know. Blazer Electric is quite simply the best. Our home was built in the early forties and had the original electrical wiring. After friends had an electrical fire we became eager to have our home rewired. We found Blazer Electric on Angie's list and were impressed with their ratings there and on BBB.org. We feel very fortunate to have found this family business. Jack, the owner, monitored the mob and his work team could not have been more courteous and professional. They accommodated our schedule and even came on Saturdays to expedite the work to rewire all 3 floors. Their fee was very reasonable and were flexible as we needed new fixtures installed. We highly recommend this company. We are delighted with the job and cost."

Customers say: Quick response

"Excellent! We are very pleased with the completed job. Steve scheduled the initial trip to our home to do the work we needed. However, after examining our project, he pointed out that the old fans had not been installed to code and more extensive work would have to be done. He provided an estimate for the work, gave a clear picture of the potential issues with the project and was able to complete it on another date. He was clear in his descriptions of the problem, the solutions, potential complications and gave his best recommendations. He was respectful, courteous, timely and very workmanlike and professional. He was compliant in regards to wearing PPE during this pandemic. His pricing was fair (I always get 3 estimates). Steve will be the first one we will call for any future electrical work."

"The two electricians showed up on time and were very professional. They ended up installing a 100A circuit and the job was neat and well done. They cleaned everything up after themselves. I am very happy with the result."

"**Review for SS&E Electricians** This is the third time I've used SS&E Electricians, and once again, they've done an outstanding job. I live in an older home with a complicated electrical history — multiple previous owners and a fair share of DIY work that hasn't always been up to code. SS&E has been my go-to for untangling these issues, and they truly deliver exceptional service each time. This time, SS&E tackled a complete re-wiring of my kitchen, which involved adding breakers to the panel and re-pulling lines for my kitchen lights, basement, and even my furnace, as they were all improperly linked together. Their knowledge and attention to detail were impressive, identifying and fixing issues that had probably been in place for decades. The team was thorough, respectful of my home, and clearly skilled in handling older wiring with all its unique challenges. I can't recommend SS&E highly enough. They've made my home safer and my electrical system far more reliable. Their work is top-notch, and they’re the only electricians I trust for my home. Thank you, SS&E, for bringing my home up to modern standards and for your professionalism every step of the way!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Aurora, IL

While homeowners with substantial electrical knowledge might technically attempt a subpanel installation, most local building departments require permits and inspections for this type of work. Professional electricians understand local code requirements, can obtain necessary permits, and ensure the installation meets safety standards. Given the significant safety risks associated with incorrect electrical work, most homeowners benefit from hiring a licensed professional.

A standard subpanel installation takes an average of four to eight hours. This timeframe may extend if you're installing multiple subpanels or adding specialized circuits like those for spa equipment. Factors such as difficult access points, complex wiring paths, or permit processing times can also affect the overall project duration.

Adding a subpanel doesn't directly reduce electricity consumption or lower your utility bills. A subpanel simply redistributes power from your main panel to additional circuits. However, organizing your electrical system more efficiently may help prevent overloaded circuits and the associated problems. For actual cost savings, consider energy-efficient appliances and lighting instead.

The appropriate subpanel size depends on your specific electrical requirements. Consider the number and type of devices you'll be powering, potential future needs, and the capacity of your main electrical panel. An electrician can perform a load calculation to determine the most suitable amperage rating for your situation, ensuring you have adequate power without overpaying for unnecessary capacity.

A main electrical panel connects directly to your utility's power supply and contains your home's primary service disconnect. It distributes electricity throughout your entire house. A subpanel, by contrast, receives power from the main panel and redistributes it to a specific area of your home. Think of the main panel as the primary distribution point and the subpanel as a secondary branch that extends your electrical system's reach.

While electrical upgrades aren't as immediately visible as kitchen or bathroom renovations, they can contribute to your home's functionality and safety. Prospective buyers often appreciate updated electrical systems that can accommodate modern power demands. A properly installed subpanel that provides additional capacity for workshops, home offices, or future expansions could be an attractive feature for certain buyers, though the direct impact on home value varies by market.
