What electrical problems require immediate professional attention?

Burning smells from outlets, panels, or switches need immediate attention because they indicate overheating that could cause a fire. Sparking outlets, flickering lights throughout the house, or frequent breaker trips also signal serious electrical problems.Complete power loss, especially if neighbors have power, usually means a problem with your main electrical service. Hot outlet covers, switches, or electrical panels indicate dangerous overheating. Any electrical problem that makes you concerned about safety should be checked immediately.These aren’t problems you wait on or try to fix yourself. Professional diagnosis prevents electrical fires and keeps your family safe.

How do I know if my electrical panel needs upgrading?

Frequent breaker trips, especially when using normal appliances, indicate your panel can’t handle your electrical load. Flickering lights when appliances start up, warm or hot panel covers, or burning smells near the panel are serious warning signs.Older panels with fuse boxes or panels over 20 years old often need upgrading to meet current electrical demands. If you’re adding major appliances, EV chargers, or home additions, your current panel might not have enough capacity.Many Palos Hills homes have older electrical systems that worked fine years ago but can’t safely handle today’s electrical needs. A professional evaluation determines if upgrading improves safety and prevents future problems.

What's involved in adding new electrical circuits for EV chargers?

EV charger installation requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit with appropriate amperage for your specific charger. This usually means running new wiring from your electrical panel to the charging location and installing a proper outlet or hardwired connection.The electrical panel must have enough available capacity to handle the additional load. Some homes need panel upgrades before EV charger installation. The circuit also needs proper grounding and GFCI protection to meet current electrical codes.Installation includes permits and inspections to ensure everything meets local electrical codes. Professional installation prevents electrical problems and ensures your EV charges safely and efficiently without affecting other electrical systems in your home.
