"Lighthouse Restoration Group replaced and upgraded my electrical service — two new panels, 400 amps total — and it’s by far the cleanest install I’ve seen across all the upgrades and repairs we’ve done at our house. The before photo shows the dangerous and sloppy work that accumulated by probably dozens of different electricians. These guys saw this and were appalled. Now see the after. Every wire is perfectly routed, tensioned to spec, and labeled. It looks like something out of a training manual. What really stood out wasn’t just the craftsmanship but the professionalism. They checked every single outlet, light, and appliance in the house — not “most,” not “some.” Every one. They even torqued each lug exactly to manufacturer spec. No shortcuts, no guesswork. They’ve got pride in their work, and it shows. If you actually care about doing things the right way — not just “getting it working” — these are your guys. I’d hire them again in a heartbeat."

We take great pride in our experience, expertise, quality, and customer service that we provide to meet the consumer's needs. It is our mission to provide excellent workmanship and complete customer satisfaction from start to completion of a project. In order to understand the needs and expectations of our customers, we take great care to work and communicate with every customer in a professional manner. Our reputation is based on service, safety, and quality, regardless of how large or small the job.

"I am currently doing extensive renovations on my 2-flat property, and working with reliable, skilled professionals is essential. C.C. Electric exceeded every expectation. From the moment Cristian responded to my inquiry, he showed the utmost professionalism. He came out promptly to evaluate my electrical needs, walked me through potential solutions, and provided a clear and detailed proposal. I reviewed it with my general contractor, and we agreed to move forward. We already had materials on hand (after a previous electrician never returned—long story), but Cristian and his team stepped in seamlessly. The scope of work was extensive: installing 19/00 boxes for new wall receptacles, adding new conduit, installing two new ceiling fans, new light fixtures, and a new bathroom exhaust fan vented to the side wall, just to name a few tasks. Cristian and his team completed the work in just three days, and the quality was exceptional. Even my GC had nothing but praise for their craftsmanship, "

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

In Chicago, homeowners should account for strict setback rules, local noise ordinances, and the need for permits covering both electrical and gas work. Winter weather can lead to snow drifts and freezing, so proper placement and weatherproofing are essential. Dense neighborhoods may limit installation space, while clay-heavy soil can impact the generator’s foundation. Assessing flood-prone areas and ensuring safe utility access helps guarantee reliable backup power year-round.

Helpful?

In Chicago, generator installation projects are handled by licensed electrical contractors, standby generator specialists, and contractors experienced with portable or whole-house systems. Some focus on residential backup power, while others serve commercial or historic properties. Look for professionals with manufacturer training, strong local references, and comprehensive insurance. Confirm their experience with Chicago’s permitting process and avoid those lacking a verifiable business presence or proper credentials.

Helpful?

During generator installation projects in Chicago, homeowners may encounter extra costs for multiple permits, electrical panel modifications, or new gas line connections. Site preparation can be more complex due to clay soil or drainage concerns. Cold-weather accessories, such as battery heaters or insulated enclosures, are often necessary. Seasonal demand may affect scheduling, and access challenges in tight city lots can require additional labor or specialized equipment for safe backup power installation.

Helpful?

Your Chicago home is well-suited for generator installation if you have outdoor space for a stable pad, access to natural gas lines, and an updated electrical panel. Single-family homes with clear setbacks are ideal, while multi-unit buildings may require association approval. Consider your household’s essential circuits and whether your neighborhood’s infrastructure supports safe emergency generator operation, especially in areas with frequent outages or older utility systems.

Helpful?

Generator installation projects in Chicago demand seasonal attention. Before winter, inspect the emergency generator’s enclosure for salt and moisture damage, and test the battery’s cold-weather performance. Monthly start-ups, quarterly oil and filter changes, and annual professional inspections are recommended. Urban dust, road salt, and rodents can affect air filters and wiring, so regular cleaning and pest checks are crucial for keeping your backup power system dependable.
