Jeremey and Lane did an amazing job, quick to respond and cleaned up the space before leaving.
Also mounted the ventilation fan for us even though they only had to do a plumbing job (which they didn't have to do for us)

Common Questions About Electrical Repairs

Usually, it’s either a circuit pulling more power than it should, a wiring issue, or a faulty breaker if it keeps happening, even after you’ve moved things around. It’s worth having it checked. Sometimes the fix is simple. Sometimes it’s not. However, resetting it repeatedly won’t solve the underlying issue.

It’s often a sign of a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or stress on your panel, especially if it happens when big appliances kick on. If you notice it in more than one room, or it’s been getting worse, it’s time to take a closer look.

That shouldn’t happen. Even if it still works, heat or sparks mean something’s off behind the wall, usually loose wiring or worn parts. It’s not something to wait on. We can inspect it safely and let you know what’s really going on.

For most homes, every 3–5 years is a good rule of thumb for an inspection. However, if you live in an older house, are planning upgrades, or notice anything unusual, it’s better to act sooner. An inspection isn’t about upselling. It’s about catching small issues before they get expensive.

If remembering to schedule that kind of thing isn’t your style, our service plans make it easy. We’ll handle routine checkups for you, so you don’t have to think about it.

Sometimes. But these systems weren’t built for today’s electrical loads. Even if they seem to work fine, they may not be properly grounded or meet current code standards. We’ve worked on plenty of older homes in Central IL, so if you’re unsure what’s behind the walls, we can take a look.

Still Thinking About It? Let’s Make a Plan

You don’t have to figure it all out today. Whether it’s something small or you just want peace of mind, we’re here to help on your schedule.
