"They did a great job! They even found other issues from the shawdy installment of the electrical work and not only fixed it but cleaned up the other company's mess! They followed city code and did it all very quickly. Their pricing is very reasonable, they're professional and courteous. We'll be in touch again for future electrical work!"

"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."

"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."

"Amp Electric and the owner, Allin, is absolutely top rate. Not only did they have fair pricing and complete great work but the customer service was above and beyond. Allin was friendly, professional and a great communicator. He took the time to walk us through the process so we understood the work he would do and answered all our questions patiently throughout. We will always reach out to him with any future electrical needs. Without any reservations I would recommend Amp Electric!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

In Des Plaines, persistent breaker trips, burning odors, or flickering lights usually signal the need for electrical work. If multiple appliances are affected or you notice power fluctuations, it could be a broader electrical issue, especially in neighborhoods near major infrastructure. After storms or in older homes, always consult a professional to determine if the problem is electrical or related to another system.

Helpful?

In Des Plaines, create a year-round electrical inspection routine by starting each spring with a check of outdoor outlets, GFCI protection, and your main panel for signs of moisture or corrosion. Summer is ideal for inspecting air conditioning wiring and outdoor lighting. In fall, review heating system wiring and attic outlets. Winter calls for monitoring ice dam risks and testing carbon monoxide detectors. Older homes in Des Plaines may require more frequent checks due to aging electrical systems.

Helpful?

Homeowners in Des Plaines are increasingly adding smart home upgrades like automated lighting, smart thermostats, and remote monitoring systems. Energy-efficient improvements, such as LED lighting and electric vehicle charging setups, are also trending. Kitchen remodels often include under-cabinet lighting and USB outlets, while outdoor living spaces see new landscape lighting and security enhancements. Backup generators are gaining popularity due to local weather-related power outages.

Helpful?

For electrical projects in Des Plaines, begin by verifying if permits are needed and ensure your plans align with local codes. Select a contractor who understands Des Plaines’ unique weather and housing stock. Coordinate with utility providers for any service upgrades and schedule work during times when contractors are more available. Factor in potential panel upgrades, especially for older homes, and plan for any required inspections.

Helpful?

In Des Plaines, you can safely replace light bulbs, reset GFCI outlets, and test outlets using appropriate tools—always turn off power at the breaker first. Avoid any work involving your main electrical panel or damp locations. If you’re unsure or the issue involves outdoor or underground wiring, contact a local professional. Prioritize safety and follow local guidelines for any electrical repairs in your home.
