"Homer and Tariq came to evaluate my electrical concern. After looking at my electrical panel and addressing an issue they noticed right away I decided to go forward with retaining their services. Tariq was very professional and completed the job timely. He went over the completed job with us and answered questions about other electrical concerns dealing with an old house. I will use Tariq to update my home 100% before the month is out."

"It went very well. Professional electricians. I have employed Blazer for several years for electrical work at my daughter's and at my home. My home (Chicago Bungalow) is about 100 years old, and they know how to navigate around old wiring and obstacles."

"Lighthouse Restoration Group replaced and upgraded my electrical service — two new panels, 400 amps total — and it’s by far the cleanest install I’ve seen across all the upgrades and repairs we’ve done at our house. The before photo shows the dangerous and sloppy work that accumulated by probably dozens of different electricians. These guys saw this and were appalled. Now see the after. Every wire is perfectly routed, tensioned to spec, and labeled. It looks like something out of a training manual. What really stood out wasn’t just the craftsmanship but the professionalism. They checked every single outlet, light, and appliance in the house — not “most,” not “some.” Every one. They even torqued each lug exactly to manufacturer spec. No shortcuts, no guesswork. They’ve got pride in their work, and it shows. If you actually care about doing things the right way — not just “getting it working” — these are your guys. I’d hire them again in a heartbeat."

"Start to finish the A To Z Electrical Company is the best electrical team we have hired. Millie is such a pleasure to work with. She is efficient, courteous, and friendly. She helps to make things work seamlessly. Bob Iovino understood exactly what needed to be done and did everything in a professional manner. He squeezed me in although he had a very busy schedule. He is courteous, friendly, and in no time he had the job done and it was done right. It truly was a pleasure doing business with him and the company. We recommend them highly."

"Alex updated two electrical panels at my building. He answered all of my questions and, in doing so, he cleared up any doubts i had with the existing wiring. He did an excellent job. I am surprised at how quick he and his crew were at finishing the job. I would highly recommend ADA Volts Electric for your electrical project needs."

"Daniel addressed a not so straightforward switch replacement that I had botched. Not only did have to install it right but also had to diagnose and replace the circuit breaker in the panel. He also had to further diagnose a wire that had been melted and address that as well. He showed great problem solving skills, cleaned up and was extremely professional and friendly. Even though the job took much longer than expected, he still only charged what he had initially stated. Would hire again."

"Fantastic work! Homer, with his crew, Eric, Damien, and Norris, did an outstanding job with my electrical work. I had 16 light fixtures replaced, one new ceiling flush mount added, an electrical outlet added, dimmer switches added, and refreshed/added kitchen recessed lights. The care with which they worked was incredible. They were not only skilled but also attentive to detail and left your place clean afterward. Homer and his team must take pride in their workmanship. If you ever need electrical work done in the future, you know exactly who to call!"

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