"Had GLP perform a panel upgrade as well as install a level 2 EV charger in the garage. Carlos was extremely responsive and accessible. Very helpfully walked us through every step of the process from estimate to completion, always explaining the work he was doing and answering our many questions. Then, the work itself was high quality. Also very friendly in person. Highly recommend."

"Mr. Electric was quick to help me with my panel upgrade and EV charger installation. They did the panel quickly and was able to accommodate a later install for the EV charger when the parts did not arrive in time. The work was very clean and professional."

"I'm glad we hired A and Z. Barry Goldstein gave us a call and come to our residence to look at the work needed. Barry is a great and sincere person and we enjoy the small talk but got to business. We were in need of GFCI electric switches in the kitchen, bathroom, and other areas. Plus, we need new electrical outlets in our closets in both bedrooms and have the pulley taken out, and ad a fixture on the outside of the closet. We also had a hazard with the powerline where the clamps that are attached to the outside wall of the house were hanging out. Plus the kitchen exhaust fan and the ceiling fan needed to be installed and they did. The crew explained what is expected in the process and the price. They placed it back to her tight in order for us to get COMED to fix the wiring. They came and fixed the job and did it cleanly and professionally. The crew was great to talk to and we felt they value customer service no matter what the job. We like their overall work and are responsive. I recommend A to Z for anyone looking for small to big jobs. Great job they did."

"Cris Electric is awesome. Proficient, knowledgeable and efficient. I learned so much in a short time about my home electrical wiring. I thought about the headache trying to understand why my circuit had not tripped but lights were inoperable in some parts of the house. By process of elimination Cris Electric found the source of my electrical problem. I am forever thankful to him for his professionalism and expertise."

"Amer was absolutely top notch. He came out in 30 mins on a Saturday morning to take a look at the project- rewire barn, new panel box, pool pump set up. He then came out as the pool was being installed, on his own, to make sure it was going well and to find out info about the pump for his part of the job. He came out a few days later and completed everything perfectly, went above and beyond and made everything aesthetically pleasing. After the job was completed, he then proceeded to walk me through everything he had done and explained why, and even going so far as to explain how my home generator works (weâ re new home owners), as well as upgrade our old dingy barn lights. We already have another project set up with him in for late summer/early fall. Amer communicated wonderfully, completed the job perfectly and went above and beyond. I canâ t recommend him any higher!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Hillside, 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.
