My name is Scott Nelson. My company is called "SCOTT NELSON ELECTRIC"because I want my own name to be on every job we do. I have been in the electrical trade for over 25 years. I went to trade school school through "Associated Builders and Contractors Electrical Apprenticeship Training Program"(A.B.C.)shortly after completing high school.I am noticed by the "National Bureau of Apprenticeship Training"(N.B.A.T.)as a Journeyman Electrician. I worked for 14yrs. with contractors from the north shore,n.w. suburbs,and northern illinois. "QUALITY ELECTRICAL REPAIRS & INSTALLATIONS"is the best way to explain our service. We believe that being "neat & tidy"is one of the best ways of showing how much we respect our customers,and their homes.Our goal is 100% customer satisfaction.
"One 9/24/17 I had them install outdoor lighting in a 30' x 30' fenced-in dog exercise area. They ran conduit for the wiring and installed the flood-light fixtures I wanted, along with installing 2 more coach lights on the house and outdoor switches to control everything. Scott Nelson was terrific to work with. He was prompt in getting back to my initial query, came out very soon to discuss the project and give me a detailed proposal. We scheduled the project for 2 months later to take advantage of my slow period. Scott is an excellent communicator and answered all my emails and follow-ups promptly. Two of his guys, Ben & Eric, came out to do the work. Scott met with them at my house that morning to be sure they understood the job and to discuss some minor changes I wanted. They showed up when they said they would and everything about the work day proved them to be very professional, skilled, friendly, and easy to work with. They also did a great job cleaning up after the project. -- other than the new lights, you'd never have known they'd set foot on the place. The job they did for me was exceptionally well done. I could not be happier with the completed job and with the entire process of working with them, start to finish. I would highly recommend them to neighbors, friends and family. Added note 7/3/18: Doing business with Scott Nelson Electric has turned out to the the nicest experience I’ve ever had with ANY service company. When they installed permanent outdoor lighting in my gravel yard last September I could not have been happier with how it turned out. I use it every night of the year, several times each night and it makes the area I work in with the dogs safe and well-lit. When I discovered one of the lengths of conduit had a small split in the seam due to a manufacturing defect, I contacted them. The split was letting rain water into the conduit. I so appreciate that they were willing to come out and fix the problem right away, no charge. I am very grateful that they stood behind their work and were so responsive. These days we hear too many complaints about things and when something goes right, no one says a word. Well, things went right today and I am very happy that I chose to go with such a reputable and professional company. Thank you so much! I will do whatever I can to spread the good word."

Electrical wiring or panel upgrades FAQs
A whole-house surge protector blocks voltage spikes from lightning, grid issues, or even large appliances before they can fry your wiring or electronics. By diverting excess current at the main panel, it shields everything from your HVAC to your phone chargers and can extend the life of pricey appliances. Homeowners in storm-prone regions or with older panels see the biggest payoff, but any home that relies on sensitive electronics benefits.
Most whole-house surge protectors work for two to three years. Low-level spikes—too small to notice—hit your panel every day and slowly wear down the internal components. Once the unit’s capacity is depleted, it can’t prevent a larger surge, so plan to replace it on schedule (or sooner if a major lightning strike occurs) to keep your electronics and HVAC equipment safe.
A surge protector begins guarding your circuits the moment an electrician snaps it into place. Whether the spike originates from a nearby lightning strike or your fridge kicking on, the protector shunts the extra current to ground before it can reach outlets or hard-wired systems, such as your AC. That instant response is why a small upfront cost can save thousands in appliance repairs.
The unit mounts on or next to your main electrical panel. Type 1 models sit on the supply side, catching outside spikes before they hit the breaker. Type 2 devices snap inside the panel and tame surges that start within the house. Either way, placement at the panel lets the protector guard every circuit at once.
Plan to swap the device every three to five years—or sooner if you upgrade your panel, add high-demand appliances, or notice flickering lights and tripped breakers. Relying on a maze of power strips is another red flag that your current setup isn’t keeping up. Replacing the surge protector at these milestones keeps your electrical system on safe footing.
