Common Electrical Needs in Niles Homes

Niles is mostly postwar housing, so a few issues come up often:

100-amp service. Many postwar homes have 100-amp service. Adding central air, a heat pump or new appliances can push it to its limit.
Aluminum branch wiring. Some homes built from the mid-1960s to the early 1970s have aluminum branch wiring, which needs the right connections to stay safe.
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.

Electrical Services in Niles

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, Niles 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 Niles.

Niles Electrical FAQ

How fast can you get to Niles?

Our Wheeling location is about 9 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.
