Your lights stop flickering. Your breakers stop tripping every time you run the dishwasher and microwave together. You can actually plug in that new appliance without worrying about overloading your system.
That’s what happens when your electrical panel actually matches what your family needs in 2025. Most homes in Hickory Hills were built in 1969 with panels designed for a few lights and basic appliances. Your family uses exponentially more power today.
A properly sized electrical panel means reliable power for everything from your HVAC system to your phone chargers. No more choosing between running the dryer or the air conditioning. No more extension cords snaking through your house because you don’t have enough outlets that work consistently.
We’ve been the go-to electrical service for Hickory Hills homeowners since 1999. We’ve seen every type of electrical emergency this community faces, from aging panels in those classic 1960s homes to modern upgrades needed for today’s technology demands.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because your family’s safety isn’t negotiable. When you call us for an electrical panel upgrade, you’re getting electricians who understand that this isn’t just about more power—it’s about protecting your home and everyone in it.
Our focus has always been emergency electrical repairs and critical issues. That means we know how to diagnose problems quickly and fix them right. We’ve built our reputation on being the electricians Hickory Hills homeowners call when something needs to work, and it needs to work now.
First, we assess your current electrical load and determine what size panel your home actually needs. Most Hickory Hills homes benefit from upgrading to 200-amp service, but we calculate your specific requirements based on your appliances, HVAC system, and future needs like EV chargers.
Next, we handle all permits and coordinate with ComEd if service line upgrades are needed. Your power will be temporarily shut off during the installation, typically for 4-8 hours depending on complexity.
We remove your old panel, install the new one with proper grounding and bonding, configure all your circuit breakers, and label everything clearly. Before we flip the main breaker back on, we test every circuit to ensure everything works correctly. The final step is the city inspection to confirm everything meets current electrical codes.

Your electrical panel upgrade includes the new panel box, all necessary circuit breakers, proper grounding equipment, and professional installation with code compliance. We also provide clear circuit labeling so you know exactly what each breaker controls.
In Hickory Hills, many homes need service line coordination with ComEd, especially when upgrading from older 100-amp or 150-amp service to modern 200-amp capacity. We handle this coordination and any necessary meter base updates.
The upgrade also includes permit acquisition and inspection scheduling. Cook County requires electrical permits for panel upgrades, and we manage this entire process. Most Hickory Hills homeowners are surprised how straightforward we make what seems like a complex project.
For homes built before 1980, we often recommend additional safety updates like GFCI protection in kitchens and bathrooms. These aren’t always required by code for existing homes, but they’re critical for family safety and insurance compliance.
