When your electrical panel can’t keep up with your life, we upgrade it so you can actually use your appliances without constantly resetting breakers.
Hear from Our Customers
You flip a switch, and the lights stay on. You run the microwave while the dishwasher’s going, and nothing trips. Your home can finally handle the electrical demands of modern life without the constant interruptions that have been driving you crazy.
That’s what happens when your electrical panel has the capacity it needs. No more rationing which appliances you can use at the same time. No more wondering if that burning smell means trouble. Just reliable power that supports how you actually live.
Most homes in Justice built before the 1980s are running on 100-amp panels that were fine for their time but can’t handle today’s electrical load. We upgrade these to 200-amp systems that give you room to grow and the peace of mind that comes with modern electrical safety.
Jimco Electric has been the go-to electrical service for Justice homeowners since 1999. We’ve seen every type of electrical emergency this area throws at people – from panels that spark to circuits that can’t handle a single additional appliance.
What sets us apart is our focus on emergency repairs and critical upgrades like panel replacements. While other electricians might treat your tripping breakers as routine maintenance, we understand that electrical problems in your home aren’t just inconvenient – they’re potentially dangerous.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured, with special discounts for military families, first responders, seniors, teachers, and students. When your electrical system fails, we respond quickly because we know you can’t wait days for power problems to get resolved.
First, we assess your current electrical load and determine what amperage your home actually needs. Most Justice homes need a 200-amp upgrade, but we’ll calculate your specific requirements based on your appliances and future plans.
Next, we obtain the necessary permits and schedule the work around your life. The actual installation typically takes 6-8 hours, during which your power will be off. We’ll coordinate with ComEd to disconnect and reconnect your service safely.
During installation, we replace your old panel with a new 200-amp system, upgrade the meter socket if needed, and ensure all circuits meet current electrical codes. We test everything thoroughly before restoring power to make sure your system operates safely and efficiently.
After the work is complete, the city inspector verifies everything meets code requirements. You’ll have a modern electrical system that can handle your current needs plus room for future additions like EV chargers or home additions.

Your electrical panel upgrade includes a complete 200-amp service panel with main breaker, new circuit breakers for all existing circuits, and upgraded wiring where needed to meet current electrical codes. We also upgrade your meter socket and service entrance equipment if required.
In Justice, many older homes have electrical systems that haven’t been updated since they were built. These homes often have 60 or 100-amp panels with outdated breakers that can’t safely handle modern electrical loads. The upgrade brings your home up to current standards while providing the capacity for today’s appliances.
We also install proper grounding and surge protection to safeguard your electronics and appliances. Federal tax credits may be available for your panel upgrade, especially if you’re planning other energy efficiency improvements. We can provide documentation needed for tax credit applications.
The work includes all necessary permits, inspections, and coordination with your utility company. You’ll receive a warranty on the installation and ongoing support if you have questions about your new electrical system.
