"I just bought a house and the inspector pointed out a lot of electrical oddities some of which were safety hazards. I got in touch with Hasan of Aljamal Electrical and he came out to take notes the same day. He quoted me a price and said it could be started and finished the day after tomorrow. I agreed and gave him a deposit. Today they finished under cost and much faster than I expected. They pointed out even more oddities about the wiring and made recommendations without being pushy at all. The final product exceeded my expectations. They will be the first I call for all future work."

"We recently hired Lighthouse restoration Group for a massive, multi-phase electrical overhaul of our 1920s home, updating a service panel upgrade to 200 Amps, and prepping the infrastructure for a future solar and EV charger integration. From the initial diagnostic visit, Vlad and his team stood out. They didn't just give a vague estimate; they provided a highly detailed, itemized line-item quote breaking down permitting fees, material costs, and labor.The project presented several unforeseen challenges, including retrofitting wires through double-brick firewall boundaries without destroying our original plaster molding. The team clearly explained the technical code compliance reasons for the adjustments.They coordinated flawlessly with both the city inspectors and our local utility company to manage the power disconnect and reconnect. They left the area clean of debris. I strongly recommend Lighthouse Restoration Group!!"

"I'm glad we hired A and Z. Barry Goldstein gave us a call and come to our residence to look at the work needed. Barry is a great and sincere person and we enjoy the small talk but got to business. We were in need of GFCI electric switches in the kitchen, bathroom, and other areas. Plus, we need new electrical outlets in our closets in both bedrooms and have the pulley taken out, and ad a fixture on the outside of the closet. We also had a hazard with the powerline where the clamps that are attached to the outside wall of the house were hanging out. Plus the kitchen exhaust fan and the ceiling fan needed to be installed and they did. The crew explained what is expected in the process and the price. They placed it back to her tight in order for us to get COMED to fix the wiring. They came and fixed the job and did it cleanly and professionally. The crew was great to talk to and we felt they value customer service no matter what the job. We like their overall work and are responsive. I recommend A to Z for anyone looking for small to big jobs. Great job they did."

"Blazer Electric was excellent. They installed a new outlet in my kitchen with causing minimal mess since this was a brand new outlet so I could install an oven range hood. They used all the PPE precautions and were pretty thorough and polite. I will definitely have them do my future electrical work when needed."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Combining electrical work—such as home rewiring, panel upgrades, or adding smart home features—with major renovations in Chicago can streamline inspections and reduce overall disruption. Coordinating projects often means fewer permit applications and more efficient scheduling. This approach is especially helpful in older homes, where opening walls for one project allows for safer, code-compliant electrical upgrades at the same time.

Helpful?

When hiring an electrical contractor in Chicago, look for proven experience with local building codes and common property types, such as brick two-flats or vintage condos. Ensure they carry proper insurance and are familiar with permit processes unique to Chicago. Contractors who regularly work in neighborhoods with older infrastructure can better anticipate challenges like outdated wiring or limited access for service upgrades.

Helpful?

Before starting electrical work in Chicago, confirm which permits are required and whether your building needs association or historic district approvals. Assess your current electrical system for outdated components, and plan for possible access challenges in tight spaces or multi-unit buildings. Organize all project documents in advance, and communicate clearly with your electrical contractor to ensure smooth inspections and timely project completion.

Helpful?

In Chicago, always consider your home’s age and whether knob-and-tube wiring or aluminum wiring is present, as these require special handling. Weather extremes can impact electrical loads, so plan for robust solutions. If you’re in a historic district or high-rise, expect extra layers of approval. Also, factor in parking and building access, especially in dense neighborhoods where contractor vehicles may face restrictions.

Helpful?

Upgrading electrical systems in Chicago homes, such as installing modern circuit breakers, GFCI outlets, or whole-home surge protection, can significantly boost resale appeal. Buyers appreciate updated electrical work, especially in older neighborhoods. These improvements help your home pass inspections smoothly, reduce the risk of insurance issues, and make your property stand out in a competitive Chicago real estate market.
