Services in Elgin

Common questions

Are your electricians licensed?

Yes. Ask and we'll give you the license number before we start.

Are you insured?

Yes. If you want a copy of our insurance certificate, just ask.

How much do you charge?

It depends on the job, so we don't quote a number until we know what's going on. You'll get the price before we start, and we won't do any work you haven't approved.

Do you pull permits?

Yes, when the job needs one. Panel changes, new circuits, EV chargers and generator hookups usually do. The village inspects it. It protects you when you sell.

Do you do commercial work?

We focus on homes. If you have a small shop or office, give us a call and we'll let you know.

What if I have an emergency?

Smoke, fire or sparks: get out and call 911. A wire down outside: stay away from it and call ComEd at 1-800-334-7661. Something hot or buzzing: shut that breaker off, then get in touch with us.

Smell burning or see sparks? Turn that breaker off. If there’s smoke or fire, get out and call 911. A wire down outside is ComEd: 1-800-334-7661. Stay away from it.
