FAQs
Why should I consider modernizing the electrical infrastructure of my Andersonville property?
Older wiring, undersized service panels, and outdated components can cause frequent breaker trips, insufficient power for modern appliances, and potential fire hazards. Modernizing improves safety, ensures code compliance, accommodates today’s high-demand electronics and HVAC systems, and can boost property value.
What does an infrastructure modernization project typically include?
Most upgrades cover replacing knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring with copper, installing a larger service panel (200 A or higher), adding dedicated circuits for heavy-load equipment, grounding and bonding improvements, AFCI/GFCI protection, and updating outlets, switches, and lighting to current code.
How long does a full electrical upgrade take in a typical Andersonville home or business?
Timeframes vary with size and complexity. A small single-family home may take 3–5 days, while a larger multi-unit or commercial space can run several weeks. We provide a detailed schedule after an on-site assessment, and we phase work to minimize downtime for occupants.
Will I need permits and inspections in Andersonville?
Yes. The City of Chicago (Andersonville’s governing authority) requires electrical permits for service upgrades, rewiring, and panel replacements. Our licensed electricians handle the application process, coordinate with municipal inspectors, and ensure all work passes final inspection to obtain the Certificate of Completion.
How much will modernizing my electrical system cost?
Costs depend on square footage, accessibility, panel size, and the extent of rewiring. A modest single-family upgrade might start around $6,000–$9,000, while larger or historic properties can exceed $20,000. We offer free estimates, transparent line-item pricing, and financing options to spread costs over manageable payments.
Will the upgrade disrupt my daily activities?
There will be short planned outages while circuits and panels are replaced. We coordinate with you to schedule shut-offs at low-impact times, supply temporary power when possible, and protect furnishings with drop cloths and dust barriers. Our goal is to complete work efficiently and leave your space clean each day.
