Braidwood's trusted source for licensed electrical services — from outlet repairs to full panel upgrades, done right the first time.
From panel upgrades to EV charger installation, our licensed electricians handle every residential and commercial electrical need.
EV chargers draw significant power and require proper circuit protection. Our licensed electricians ensure your installation meets NEC code, manufacturer specs, and local requirements.
Commercial electrical work requires strict code compliance, proper load calculations, and coordination with inspectors and general contractors. Our licensed commercial electricians deliver permitted, inspected, and insured work on every project.
We install a Type 2 surge protection device directly at your electrical panel, wire it to a dedicated double-pole breaker, and verify the grounding system that makes it effective.
Outdoor wiring must withstand moisture, temperature swings, and soil contact. Our electricians use UL-listed wet-rated fixtures, GFCI-protected circuits, and proper burial depths to ensure lasting safety.
Recessed lights create a clean, modern look while flooding your rooms with even illumination. LED recessed fixtures also cut your lighting energy use by up to 75 percent.
Outdated wiring, missing ground wires, and improper connections are invisible dangers in thousands of homes. Our licensed inspectors identify every safety concern and prioritize what needs attention first.
Upgrade your home with new light fixtures that transform the look and feel of every room. Professional installation ensures proper support, clean wiring, and the right dimming compatibility.

We handle the full installation process, from securing the fan-rated electrical box and running new wiring to balancing the blades and programming remote controls.

We test the suspect breaker with calibrated equipment, check for loose bus connections and signs of arcing, replace the faulty breaker with a matching UL-listed unit, and load-test the circuit.
We review your project requirements, pull necessary permits, install wiring and devices using commercial-grade materials, and schedule the final inspection to close out the permit properly.
We mount your Ring doorbell at the optimal height, run low-voltage wiring from your existing doorbell transformer, and configure the app so you are up and running in one visit.
Aluminum wiring installed in homes from the 1960s and 1970s is a documented fire hazard. Replacing it with modern copper wiring dramatically reduces your risk and may lower your insurance premiums.
We install hardwired CO detectors at code-required locations near bedrooms and fuel-burning appliances, interconnect them with your smoke alarm system, and verify operation with professional testing equipment.
