Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for electrical work in Arlington Heights?

Yes. Any electrical installation, repair, or panel upgrade requires a Village permit and inspection. We handle the filing and coordination.

What should I expect during a home electrical inspection?

We test outlets, check grounding and polarity, inspect the main panel, examine wiring condition, and verify GFCI/AFCI protection. A report shows any code gaps or safety concerns.

Can I install an EV charger in a condo or townhome?

It depends on your building's electrical capacity and HOA rules. We assess feasibility, handle permits, and coordinate with condo management if needed.

What's the difference between 100-amp and 200-amp service?

100-amp service suits smaller homes or older properties with light loads. 200-amp handles modern appliances, HVAC, EV chargers, and higher demand. We assess your needs and recommend accordingly.

How long does a typical panel upgrade take?

Installation typically happens over one or two days, depending on system complexity. Permit approval and inspection scheduling add to overall project flow.

What happens if my home fails a code inspection?

We address all inspection findings, make corrections, and request a re-inspection. Our goal is passing compliance on the first try through careful planning.
