Hear from Our Customers
You’re dealing with an electrical problem that’s disrupting your day or keeping you up at night. Maybe your lights dim every time the AC kicks on. Maybe your circuit breaker trips whenever you run the microwave and coffee maker at the same time. Or maybe you’re smelling something that shouldn’t be there.
These aren’t minor inconveniences. They’re signs your electrical system is struggling to keep up with your home’s demands. And in a community like New Lenox where most homes were built in the late 90s and early 2000s, electrical systems that worked fine 20 years ago often can’t handle today’s load.
We fix the immediate problem and make sure it doesn’t come back. That means your lights stay on, your breakers stop tripping, and you can use your appliances without wondering if something’s about to go wrong. You get back to normal life without the constant worry that your electrical system is one surge away from a real problem.
We’ve been handling residential electrical work in Cook and Will County for over two decades. That’s 25 years of emergency calls, panel upgrades, circuit installations, and everything in between. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because that’s not optional when you’re working with something as critical as your home’s electrical system.
New Lenox homeowners call us when something goes wrong and they need it fixed right. We’re not the cheapest option, and we’re upfront about that. You’re paying for licensed electricians who show up on time, diagnose the real problem, and fix it correctly the first time.
We also offer discounts for military, first responders, seniors, teachers, and students because we believe the people who serve this community deserve a break when they need electrical work done.
You call or contact us with your electrical issue. We ask a few questions to understand what’s happening and whether it’s an emergency that needs immediate attention or something we can schedule.
We give you a clear timeframe for when we can get there. If it’s an emergency like a burning smell, sparks, or complete power loss, we move fast. If it’s something that can wait, we find a time that works for your schedule.
When we arrive, we diagnose the problem before we do anything else. You get a transparent estimate of what it’ll cost to fix it right. No surprise charges. No upselling you on work you don’t need. Just a clear explanation of what’s wrong and what it takes to fix it.
Once you approve the work, we handle it. We make sure everything is up to code, test it to confirm it’s working properly, and clean up after ourselves. You get a system that works the way it should.

We handle the full range of residential electrical services. Emergency repairs for flickering lights, tripped breakers, burning smells, and power outages. Panel upgrades for homes that need more capacity. New circuit installation for EV chargers, hot tubs, or home additions. Service changes when your electrical service needs an upgrade.
In New Lenox, where over 91% of residents own their homes and the median household income sits well above the national average, homeowners invest in their properties. That means electrical systems need to keep pace with modern demands. If your home was built in the late 90s or early 2000s like many in this area, your panel might be undersized for today’s electrical load.
We’re also certified for EV charger installations, and ComEd offers rebates up to $2,500 for qualifying installations. That’s real money back in your pocket when you’re upgrading your home’s electrical capacity for an electric vehicle. We handle the installation and help you access those incentives.
Every job we complete meets current electrical codes. That’s not negotiable. Your home’s electrical system has to be safe and compliant, and we make sure it is.
Your breaker trips frequently, especially when you’re running multiple appliances at once. That’s the most obvious sign. Your panel is doing its job by shutting off power when the circuit is overloaded, but it shouldn’t be happening regularly in a properly sized system.
You might also notice your lights dimming when high-draw appliances kick on, like your AC or dryer. Or you’re adding something new to your home that draws significant power—an EV charger, a hot tub, a home office with multiple computers and equipment—and your current panel doesn’t have the capacity.
Most homes built before 1990 have 100-amp or 150-amp panels. Modern homes typically need 200-amp service to handle today’s electrical demands. If you’re in a New Lenox home from that era and you’ve never upgraded your panel, there’s a good chance you’re due. We can assess your current system and tell you exactly what you need.
Turn off the main breaker if you can do it safely, and call us immediately. A burning smell near your panel means something is overheating, and that’s a fire hazard. Don’t wait to see if it goes away.
Burning smells can come from several sources: a breaker that’s failing, wiring that’s deteriorating, or a connection that’s come loose and is arcing. All of these are serious. The smell is often the first warning sign before something fails completely or starts a fire.
We treat these calls as emergencies because they are. We’ll get there as quickly as possible, identify the source of the problem, and fix it before it becomes a bigger issue. This isn’t something to put off until tomorrow or next week.
Flickering lights that affect your whole house usually point to a problem with your main electrical service or panel, not just a single circuit. It could be a loose connection at the meter, a failing main breaker, or an issue with the service line coming into your home.
If it only happens when certain appliances turn on—like your AC compressor or furnace blower—it often means your electrical system is undersized for your home’s current demands. The voltage drop when these high-draw appliances kick on causes the lights to dim or flicker.
Persistent flickering isn’t just annoying. It can damage sensitive electronics and indicates your electrical system is under stress. We can trace the source of the problem and determine whether you need a service upgrade, panel replacement, or repair to a specific connection. The solution depends on what we find, but the first step is a proper diagnosis.
Most residential panel upgrades take between four and eight hours, depending on the complexity of your system and whether we’re also upgrading your service from the utility connection. Your power will be off during part of the work, so it’s something to plan for.
We coordinate with ComEd to ensure the utility side of the upgrade happens smoothly. If you’re going from 100-amp to 200-amp service, that requires ComEd to upgrade the service drop and meter, which we schedule in advance. The actual panel replacement happens in a single day, but the full process from scheduling to completion usually takes a couple of weeks due to permit and utility coordination.
You’ll have a new panel that meets current code, with room for additional circuits if you need them down the road. That means you can add that EV charger, finish your basement, or upgrade your HVAC system without worrying whether your electrical system can handle it.
Yes. We handle emergency electrical repairs for issues that can’t wait—burning smells, sparks, complete power loss, or any situation where you’re concerned about immediate safety. Electrical emergencies can cause fires or serious damage if they’re not addressed quickly.
When you call with an emergency, we prioritize getting someone to your home as fast as possible. We’ll walk you through any immediate safety steps you should take while we’re on the way, like shutting off power to a specific area or your main breaker if necessary.
Not every electrical problem is an emergency, and we’ll be honest with you about that. If your issue can safely wait for a scheduled appointment, we’ll tell you. But when something genuinely can’t wait, we treat it with the urgency it deserves. We’ve been doing this for 25 years in Illinois, and we know the difference between “this needs attention soon” and “this needs attention right now.”
First, we assess your current electrical panel to determine if it has the capacity for a Level 2 EV charger, which typically requires a 240-volt, 40-amp or 50-amp dedicated circuit. Many New Lenox homes built in the late 90s and early 2000s have 200-amp panels, which usually have enough capacity. Older homes with 100-amp or 150-amp panels often need an upgrade first.
Once we confirm your panel can handle it, we install the dedicated circuit from your panel to wherever you want the charger mounted—usually in your garage or on an exterior wall near your driveway. We mount the charging unit, make all the electrical connections, and test everything to ensure it’s working properly and safely.
The installation typically takes four to six hours. We’re ICC-certified for EV charging installations, and we help you access ComEd’s rebate program, which offers up to $2,500 for qualifying EV charger installations. That rebate significantly offsets the installation cost. We handle the paperwork and make sure everything meets code requirements so your installation qualifies for the incentive.
