What electrical problems require immediate attention versus what can wait?

These are signs of potential electrical fires or serious safety hazards that need professional attention right away.Flickering lights, frequently tripping breakers, or outlets that don’t work are problems that should be addressed soon but aren’t usually immediate emergencies.

Our experience helps us quickly determine what needs immediate attention and what can be scheduled for regular service.

How do I know if my electrical panel needs to be upgraded?

Your electrical panel probably needs an upgrade if your breakers trip frequently, you have an older panel with fuses instead of breakers, or your panel doesn’t have enough capacity for your family’s electrical needs. Many Matteson homes were built when electrical demands were much lower than they are today.Signs you need a panel upgrade include having to reset breakers regularly, lights dimming when large appliances turn on, or not having enough circuits for things like EV chargers, hot tubs, or home additions. If your panel is over 25 years old, it’s worth having us evaluate whether it meets current safety standards.We’ll inspect your current panel and electrical system, then explain whether an upgrade is necessary for safety reasons or would simply improve your home’s electrical capacity. Panel upgrades are an investment in your family’s safety and your home’s value.
