Absolutely. Panel upgrades are one of our specialties, especially in Forest Park where many homes have electrical systems from the 1940s and 1950s. These older panels often can’t handle the electrical demands of modern appliances and electronics.We assess your current electrical usage and install a new panel with adequate capacity for your needs. This typically involves upgrading from 60 or 100 amp service to 200 amp service, which gives you room for additional circuits and modern safety features.The upgrade process usually takes a full day, and we coordinate with ComEd to minimize the time your power is off.

Burning smells from electrical sources can indicate dangerous conditions that could lead to fires.Don’t try to investigate the problem yourself or continue using nearby outlets until we can determine what’s causing the smell. If the smell is strong or you see any smoke, turn off the power to that area at your electrical panel if you can do so safely.We treat burning electrical smells as emergency situations because they often indicate overheated wiring, loose connections, or overloaded circuits. These problems need professional attention to prevent fire hazards.

This typically requires adding a 240-volt circuit from your electrical panel to your garage or wherever you plan to charge your vehicle.We assess your current electrical capacity to make sure your panel can handle the additional load.

We coordinate with your EV charger installer if you’re using a separate company for that part of the project.
