"Jack and his crew did a great job with the work we needed done which ended up being more complicated than we had anticipated. He charged by the job rather than the hour, which worked out well for us since his crew had to pull half the wires out of the electrical box to figure out what previous electricians had done in our condo. Jack and his crew were honest and efficient and I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again."

"Carlos and his team installed a GFCI outlet in my five bathrooms and 16 can lights. The job was complex but done professionally. He was polite, reasonably priced, and left the work clean and detailed. I’ve decided to trust him with any electrical work. 5 stars for GLP Electric."

"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."

"**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!"

"Project was done quickly. Price was higher that others, but I hired them because they could address my issue immediately that same day. I had a small fire in my electrical box and needed the box and breakers replaced. Tech was knowledgeable and nice work work with and provided updates as he worked. He finished the job within a few hours. Reason for 4 stars instead of 5…price was high. Also, I came home the day after the job was done and my furnace was off and my washer/dryer breaker was tripped. Haven’t determined the cause yet, but will provide an update once I figure it out or have Precision back out to check things."

"Called on a Saturday morning for emergency help after 1/2 our house lost electrical power. Received a call back from Barry one of their electricians. I described our problem and he immediately diagnosed a problem with exterior power supply from our power supplier ComEd. He recommended we call ComEd as their would be no charge if they repaired the problem. Barry gave me his cell phone number and asked me to keep him updated. ComEd came out and repaired the problem and restored the power as described by Barry. I appreciate the honesty of this company and their spot on advice. If we have any future electrical problems we will call them first!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Melrose Park, 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.
