We are a multi-generational family-owned and operated business based out of the western suburbs of Chicago. We are in business for one simple reason: To comfort families. We provide a holistic approach in that we treat our customers like people and not just a number. We have turned the traditional service model upside down and instead of rushing our Technicians to maximize calls each day, we provide the flexibility to ensure they take their time with our customers to ensure quality visit every time. That is the Leslie difference. We think our satisfaction ratings substantiate this and we are honored to be of service.

"We had an excellent experience with Leslie Heating and Cooling, and I can't say enough good things about the service we received! Our comfort consultant, Jeremy M., was great to work with. From the moment he arrived, he was incredibly friendly, professional, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure we found the best solution for our home and budget. He patiently answered all of our questions and took the time to thoroughly explain the options, making sure we felt comfortable every step of the way. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated to customer service, and Jeremy truly made a difference. I highly recommend Leslie Heating and Cooling. "

Electrical wiring or panel upgrades FAQs

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.
