No more strategic planning around which appliances you can run simultaneously. No more dimming lights when the dishwasher starts. No more burning smells that make you wonder if your house is about to catch fire.
A properly upgraded electrical panel means your home handles everything you need it to handle. Your morning routine flows smoothly without electrical interruptions. Your appliances work at full capacity without interference. Your family stays protected from electrical hazards that plague older systems.
You’ll have the electrical capacity for that EV charger you’ve been considering. The peace of mind that comes with modern safety features designed to prevent electrical fires. The confidence that your electrical system meets today’s codes and can support your lifestyle.
We’ve been the go-to electrical service for Palatine homeowners dealing with urgent electrical problems for over two decades. When your panel starts acting up, you need someone who understands exactly what’s happening and how to fix it safely.
Palatine’s housing includes many homes built in the 1960s and 70s with 100-amp electrical systems that weren’t designed for today’s power demands. These older panels struggle with central air conditioning, modern appliances, and the electronics that fill today’s homes – creating safety hazards and daily frustrations.
You’re working with licensed, bonded, and insured electricians who understand both the technical requirements and Palatine’s local electrical codes. Plus, you’ll receive discounts if you’re military, a first responder, senior, teacher, or student because safe electrical service shouldn’t be a luxury.
First, you’ll get a complete assessment of your current electrical panel and your home’s actual power needs. This includes examining your existing wiring, checking for code violations, and determining the right amperage for your upgraded system – typically 200 amps for most Palatine homes.
Next comes the installation day. Your power gets temporarily disconnected while we safely remove the old panel and install your new panel. All circuits get properly connected, and everything gets brought up to current electrical codes. The process typically takes 6-8 hours, depending on your home’s specific requirements.
Finally, every circuit gets tested to ensure proper function, and your new panel gets inspected by local authorities. You’ll receive complete documentation of the work and guidance on how to use your new electrical panel safely and effectively.

Your electrical panel upgrade includes a thorough assessment of your home’s electrical needs, complete removal of your old panel, and installation of a new panel properly sized for your home. You’ll get a new main breaker and all necessary circuit breakers installed and tested.
Most Palatine homes built before 1980 have 100-amp service that’s simply insufficient for modern living. Today’s standard is 200-amp service, which easily handles central air conditioning, electric dryers, modern appliances, and charging stations for electric vehicles without overloading your system.
Your upgrade also brings your electrical system up to current codes – particularly important in Palatine where older homes may have outdated wiring practices. You’ll get proper grounding, GFCI protection where required, and assurance that your new panel meets all local inspection requirements.
