Common Electrical Needs in Des Plaines Homes
Des Plaines has a mix of older and newer homes, so a few issues come up often:
- Undersized electrical service. Many older homes started with 60- or 100-amp service. Adding central air, a heat pump or a kitchen remodel often means a panel upgrade.
- Older panels. Some homes from the 1950s through the 1980s still have Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels, which many electricians and insurers recommend replacing. We’ll check yours.
- Whole-home surge protection. Modern furnaces, ACs and appliances are full of electronics. A whole-home surge protector helps protect them.

HVAC and Electrical From One Company
A new heat pump or AC often needs a new circuit or a panel upgrade. Because we do both, Des Plaines homeowners get one contractor, one schedule and one point of contact instead of coordinating an HVAC company and an electrician. See our HVAC services in Des Plaines.

How fast can you get to Des Plaines?
Our Wheeling location is about 7 miles away. Most service calls are same or next day, and emergencies are answered 24/7.
Do I need a panel upgrade for a heat pump?
Not always. It depends on your current service size and what’s already on the panel. We’ll check your panel when we quote the heat pump so there are no surprises.
Do you replace smoke and carbon monoxide detectors?
Yes. We replace and add hardwired smoke and CO detectors and can interconnect them so they all sound together.
