Hear from Our Customers
You flip a switch and the lights work. Every time. Your circuit breakers stop tripping when you run the dishwasher and microwave together. No more burning smells from your electrical panel or that sinking feeling when half your house loses power.
That’s what happens when your electrical panel actually has the capacity to handle your family’s real electrical needs. Modern appliances, computers, charging stations, and everything else that makes your home comfortable and functional.
Your home’s electrical system works the way it should. Safely, reliably, without the constant worry about what might go wrong next.
We’re Jimco Electric, operating as Jimco Electric, and we’ve spent 25 years specializing in residential electrical services throughout La Grange. We know the electrical challenges that come with older homes in this area – many built over a century ago with electrical systems that weren’t designed for today’s power demands.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured, which means you’re protected when we work on your home. We focus on emergency electrical repairs and critical issues like panel upgrades because we understand that electrical problems don’t wait for convenient times.
Our team has seen it all in La Grange homes – from knob-and-tube wiring in historic properties to overloaded 60-amp panels trying to power modern families. We know what works in this community and what doesn’t.
First, we assess your current electrical panel and your home’s actual power needs. Not just what you have now, but what you’ll need for the appliances and devices you want to add. We explain what we find in plain terms – no technical jargon that leaves you guessing.
Next, we coordinate with ComEd to safely disconnect your power and begin the upgrade process. We remove your old panel and install the new one, typically upgrading from 100 amps to 200 amps or whatever capacity your home requires. All wiring connections are updated to meet current electrical codes.
Finally, we test everything thoroughly before reconnecting your power. We walk you through your new panel, explain how it works, and make sure you’re comfortable with the upgrade. The whole process typically takes a day, and you’ll have reliable electrical service that can handle your family’s needs.
Ready to get started?
Your electrical panel upgrade includes a complete assessment of your home’s electrical needs, removal of your old panel, and installation of a new circuit breaker panel sized appropriately for your home. We upgrade the main breaker, install new circuit breakers as needed, and ensure all connections meet current electrical codes.
In La Grange, we often work with homes that have unique electrical challenges. Many properties in our area were built when electrical demands were much simpler – before central air conditioning, multiple computers, electric vehicle chargers, and high-efficiency appliances became standard. Your upgrade accounts for these modern electrical needs.
We also handle any necessary permits and inspections required by La Grange building codes. Our work comes with the peace of mind that comes from 25 years of experience and full licensing, bonding, and insurance coverage. Plus, we offer discounts for military personnel, first responders, seniors, teachers, and students.
