"It went great. When I contacted the company on a Friday, the owner, Scott Nelson, returned my call right away. Though they couldn't fit me in for a regular service call for another 3 weeks, Nelson agreed to come by that next Monday and give me an assessment and estimate about the electrical panel. He said if the fuse issue was something quick to fix, he would try to take of it. Nelson arrived on time on Monday and was able to both give me an assessment (of what it would cost to upgrade my panel from 20 to 30) as well as assure me that, right now, everything was fine except that something was triggering the arc fault circuit and that needed looking at. Luckily, one of the service calls that day had cancelled so about 2 hours later, Ben and Eric came over to diagnose and fix the problem. They were friendly yet professional and though it took some time to figure out what was tripping the circuit, they were able to do so and now I have working lights at the top of the stairs and on the front porch. I really appreciated how both Scott Nelson and his workers, Ben and Eric, explained things to me and they handled my big, friendly dogs well. I will definitely be using Scott Nelson Electric in the future for any electrical needs."

"Jack has performed multiple jobs for us at our house. This review is long overdue. Initially, Blazer electric has completed majority of the electric in our unfinished basement which required running conduit to install recessed lighting and multiple outlets. In addition, they have replaced bathroom lights, exhaust fans, ceiling fans, outdoor lights, kitchen undermount lights etc. Jack and his team are very prompt/professional along being priced fairly. I highly recommend using them for any of your electrical needs!"

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

Upgrading your home’s electrical system in Arlington Heights can make your property more attractive to buyers, especially with features like dedicated circuits for smart devices or EV charging. Modernizing outdated wiring or adding energy-efficient lighting appeals to those seeking safer, more sustainable homes. In neighborhoods with older housing stock, these electrical upgrades often help your home stand out in the local real estate market.

Helpful?

When reviewing quotes from electrical contractors in Arlington Heights, be wary of vague estimates that don’t mention required permits or local code compliance. If a professional avoids providing proof of insurance, references from Arlington Heights homeowners, or a breakdown of labor and materials, consider it a warning sign. Reliable contractors should clearly outline project details, address safety standards, and never pressure you to skip essential paperwork.

Helpful?

Homes in Arlington Heights built before the 1970s, or those with outdated panels, limited outlets, or older wiring types, are strong candidates for electrical upgrades. If you experience dimming lights, frequent blown fuses, or lack GFCI outlets in kitchens and bathrooms, it’s a sign your home could benefit from professional evaluation. Finished basements or additions also often require updated circuits to meet current electrical standards.

Helpful?

In Arlington Heights, address electrical projects right away if you notice persistent breaker trips, burning odors, or if your insurance provider requires updates. If you’re planning to sell soon or have recently failed an inspection, prioritize repairs. For upgrades like new lighting or smart home features, consider scheduling during the off-peak fall or winter months when electrical contractors may have greater availability and flexibility.

Helpful?

Schedule electrical work in Arlington Heights if you’re installing high-demand appliances, planning a remodel, or have received a home inspection report highlighting electrical issues. Homes over two decades old often need panel upgrades or additional outlets. Booking projects during the fall or winter can help you secure a reputable electrical contractor and avoid delays, as demand for home electrical upgrades is typically lower in these seasons.
