No more failed inspections. No more safety concerns keeping you awake at night. No more wondering if that flickering light is actually dangerous.
When your electrical system meets current code standards, everything works the way it should. Your lights stay steady. Your outlets don’t spark. Your circuit breakers stop tripping for no reason.
You get the peace of mind that comes from knowing a licensed professional handled the work correctly. Your home insurance stays valid. Your property value stays protected. And when you’re ready to sell, electrical issues won’t derail your closing.
Jimco Electric has been the residential electrician University Park homeowners call when things go wrong. For over two decades, we’ve specialized in the electrical emergencies that can’t wait—flickering lights that signal bigger problems, burning smells that mean danger, and power outages that disrupt everything.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured, which matters more than you might think. When electrical work goes wrong, you want protection. We focus primarily on residential customers because homes have different needs than commercial buildings, and we understand what homeowners actually face.
University Park’s established neighborhoods mean older electrical systems that need updates to meet today’s demands. We’ve seen it all and know how to bring systems up to current standards without unnecessary work or inflated costs.
First, we assess your current electrical system against current code requirements. This isn’t a sales pitch—it’s a thorough evaluation of what actually needs attention and what doesn’t.
Next, we explain what we found in plain language. No technical jargon about amperage ratings or circuit loads. Just clear information about what’s not up to code, why it matters for your safety, and what it takes to fix it properly.
Then we handle the work efficiently. We pull permits when required, use quality materials that meet or exceed code standards, and clean up when we’re done. The inspector signs off, and you’re left with an electrical system that works reliably and safely for years to come.

University Park homes built before recent code updates often need panel upgrades to handle modern electrical demands. Adding EV charger circuits, upgrading GFCI protection in bathrooms and kitchens, and replacing outdated wiring that doesn’t meet current safety standards.
Illinois adopted updated electrical codes that require specific safety measures for residential properties. Local inspectors look for proper grounding, adequate circuit capacity, and AFCI protection in bedrooms and living areas. These aren’t suggestions—they’re requirements for safety and code compliance.
We also handle the practical stuff homeowners actually deal with: outlets that don’t work reliably, lights that dim when appliances kick on, and circuit breakers that trip when you run the microwave and coffee maker at the same time. These problems often point to larger code compliance issues that need professional attention.
