25 years of solving critical electrical problems for Oak Forest homeowners – from flickering lights to power outages.
Hear from Our Customers
When your lights start flickering or that burning smell appears, you don’t need another contractor who shows up three days later with a shrug. You need someone who understands that electrical problems don’t wait for convenient timing.
That’s exactly what you get. Your power stays on. Your family stays safe. Your electrical system works the way it should. No more wondering if that outlet is going to spark again or if your panel can handle your new appliances.
You get real solutions from someone who’s been handling Oak Forest electrical emergencies for 25 years. Licensed, bonded, and insured – because when it comes to electricity, there’s no room for shortcuts.
Jimco Electric has been Oak Forest’s go-to electrical contractor since the late 1990s. We’ve seen every type of electrical emergency this community can throw at us. From the older homes near Cicero Avenue dealing with outdated wiring to newer developments needing panel upgrades for modern electrical demands.
What sets us apart isn’t just the quarter-century of experience. It’s understanding that most electrical emergencies happen at the worst possible times. Oak Forest homeowners need someone who actually shows up and fixes the problem right the first time.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because electrical work isn’t something you gamble with. We offer discounts for military, first responders, seniors, teachers, and students because we believe in taking care of the people who take care of our community.
When you call, you’re talking to someone who actually understands electrical systems. Not a call center. We’ll ask the right questions to understand what’s happening and determine if it’s an emergency that needs immediate attention or something that can be scheduled.
If it’s urgent – power outages, burning smells, sparking outlets – we prioritize getting to you quickly. We arrive with fully stocked trucks because the last thing you need is a technician who has to make multiple trips to the supply store.
We diagnose the actual problem, not just the symptoms. You get a clear explanation of what’s wrong, what it takes to fix it, and what it costs before any work begins. Once you approve the work, we handle everything from permits to cleanup.
Ready to get started?
Every electrical service call includes a thorough safety inspection of the immediate area. We’re not just fixing the obvious problem. We’re making sure there aren’t other issues waiting to cause bigger headaches later.
For Oak Forest homeowners, this is especially important. Many homes in the area were built when electrical demands were much lower. Your 1970s electrical panel wasn’t designed to handle today’s appliances, electronics, and EV chargers. We’ll let you know if your electrical system needs updates to handle your current lifestyle safely.
You get detailed documentation of all work performed. Warranty information. Recommendations for any future electrical needs. We also handle all necessary permits and inspections required by Oak Forest’s building department, so you don’t have to navigate city requirements on your own.
