Highlights Chicago

Your home is your sanctuary, and its electrical system should provide comfort, convenience, and above all, safety. At Highlights Chicago, we specialize in comprehensive residential electrical services designed specifically for Chicago homeowners. Whether you're dealing with flickering lights, outdated wiring, or planning a major renovation, our licensed electricians have the expertise to handle it all.

We begin every residential project with a thorough assessment of your current electrical system. Our team examines your electrical panel capacity, inspects wiring conditions, tests outlets and switches, and identifies any potential safety hazards or code violations. This detailed evaluation allows us to provide you with clear recommendations and transparent pricing before any work begins.

Common residential services include complete home rewiring for older properties, electrical panel upgrades to accommodate modern appliance loads, lighting installation and upgrades (including smart lighting systems), ceiling fan and exhaust fan installation, outlet and switch replacement, GFCI installation for wet areas, and dedicated circuits for major appliances. We also specialize in troubleshooting complex electrical issues that other electricians might miss—those mysterious breaker trips, intermittent power losses, or unusual electrical behaviors that compromise your home's safety.

What makes Highlights Chicago the ideal choice for your home electrical needs? First, we're local experts who understand the specific electrical requirements and common issues in Chicago homes. Second, we prioritize safety above all else—every installation and repair meets or exceeds National Electrical Code standards.

Our commercial services begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your current electrical infrastructure. We assess your electrical panel capacity, examine wiring systems, evaluate lighting efficiency, and identify any code violations or potential safety issues. For new construction projects, we work closely with architects and contractors to design and install electrical systems that meet both current needs and future growth requirements.

As Chicago embraces sustainable living, Highlights Chicago is at the forefront of green electrical solutions that reduce environmental impact while enhancing your property's value and functionality. Our specialized services in EV charger installation and energy-efficient electrical upgrades help homeowners and businesses transition to cleaner, more sustainable energy use without compromising on performance or reliability.

EV charger installation begins with a detailed assessment of your electrical panel's capacity and your specific charging needs. We help you choose between Level 1, Level 2, or commercial-grade charging stations based on your vehicle requirements, daily mileage, and electrical infrastructure. Our licensed electricians handle everything from obtaining necessary permits to installing dedicated circuits, mounting the charging unit, and testing the complete system for safety and efficiency. We ensure your installation meets all local codes and manufacturer specifications while providing optimal charging speed for your electric vehicle.

Beyond EV chargers, our green electrical services include comprehensive energy-efficient lighting upgrades. We replace outdated incandescent and fluorescent lighting with modern LED systems that use up to 80% less energy while providing better illumination. For businesses, this can mean significant reductions in utility costs and maintenance expenses. For homeowners, it means lower electricity bills and improved home lighting quality. We also install smart lighting controls, motion sensors, and daylight harvesting systems that automatically adjust lighting based on occupancy and natural light availability.

Additional sustainable services include solar panel system tie-ins, energy monitoring system installations, and whole-home energy efficiency assessments. We help you identify where your property is wasting energy and provide solutions to reduce consumption without sacrificing comfort or functionality.
