Cost is determined by the job. Call 630-809-9111 for all of your electrical needs. We service portions of Will and Dupage County.

"In January 2023, Steve Durkiewicz stepped into a project that had previously become a financial nightmare and turned it into the dream project that we had first imagined. We had previously hired and paid ($1,765.00) a different person/business that claimed to be a licensed and experienced electrician, to install new lighting in our kitchen and home office, as well as install recessed lighting in our family room. But the job was a disaster, unprofessional and substandard - e.g. all electrical wiring was incorrect, ceiling drywall wire routing in relation to studs/framing was incorrect (i.e. ceiling drywall could not be repaired due to lack of space), etc. Steve came in and repaired all of that. With patience and professionalism, he explained every step as he made corrections, and still completed the task in a timely manner! Thank you, EMF Electric! You'll definitely hear from me again!"

We're a family-owned and operated business with more than 15 years under our tool belts! We take on a wide range of electrical services from remodeling to new projects, even repairs! No job too small, no job too big! We’re committed on providing a personalized service for each individual project we take on! ***Call/Text : 1(630)915-8938 OR Email: [email protected]***

"I had an overloaded kitchen circuit shoot fire through a receptacle (and melt the whole thing down) a few days before I went on a European trip. I managed to use extension cords to keep my kitchen going until I returned. I had notified several companies before I left but I did not understand what "Flat Pricing" meant. BoBo contacted me directly through an email I supplied on the Next Door app and I arranged for their services when I returned. Two young fellows arrived on time with all the equipment needed. They assessed my problem and offered several solutions and quoted prices for each one and I just said: "What would you do if this were your house?" They "split" (re-wired) the overworked circuit into 3 separate dedicated lines, provided me with 3 GFI receptacles for the kitchen and replaced all of the mis-matched circuit breakers in my electrical panel. They were an awesome team to watch: knowledgeable, efficient and they worked quickly"

"The project was well planned by Matt and his crew and went very well and smoothly. They were very professional and explained the entire process in installing the electrical gate opener. They tested and made sure the gate was opening and closing properly. I am highly satisfied with their work and would definitely hire Installect Solutions again."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages at $5,200, but costs can range from $1,500 to $8,900, depending on the type and size of the generator, and the labor required to install it. To find the best deal while still ensuring the unit meets all the needs of your household, hire an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your must-have appliances and electronics beforehand so you don’t pay for more power than you need. As always, be sure to get at least three quotes to find the ideal fit for your needs and budget.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

Yes, whole-house generators run constantly for extended periods. Whole-house generators can run for longer periods of time than portable generators, but be careful. First, they may need regular applications of engine oil (as frequently as daily), depending on the engine design. Second, running constantly for several days will increase the wear and tear on the generator and shorten its lifespan.

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.
