About Electrical Services
Our electrical services cover residential and light-commercial work: electrical panel and service upgrades, troubleshooting and rewiring, dedicated circuits for HVAC and appliances, EV charger installation, recessed and outdoor lighting, ceiling fans, GFCI and AFCI protection, surge protection, and electrical safety inspections. Because we also install heating and cooling equipment, we frequently handle the electrical side of HVAC projects in-house, no coordinating two contractors.
Older Glenview and North Shore homes often run on 100-amp panels and aging wiring that were never designed for today’s electrical load, heat pumps, EV chargers, induction ranges, and home offices. A panel upgrade to 200 amps is one of the most common and valuable improvements we make, removing the bottleneck and adding safe capacity for the future.
All electrical work is performed by qualified personnel, permitted where required, and left clean and clearly labeled. Safety and code compliance are non-negotiable.

Frequently Asked Questions
For panel work, new circuits, and permitted jobs, always use a qualified, licensed and insured contractor who works to code, it protects your safety, your insurance coverage, and your home’s resale value. AMW is fully licensed and insured, performs electrical work to code, and coordinates the required permits and inspections on jobs that need them.
Warning signs include a 100-amp panel, frequently tripped breakers, a fuse box, flickering lights, or plans to add an EV charger, heat pump, or large appliance. We can assess your panel and tell you whether an upgrade to 200 amps makes sense.
Yes. We install Level 2 EV chargers, including the dedicated circuit and any panel capacity work needed to support them safely. We will confirm your panel can handle the load before installing.
It depends on the amperage, the condition of your existing service, and whether the meter or service entrance also needs work. We provide an upfront written quote after assessing your specific panel and home.
Yes. An electrical safety inspection is a smart step when buying a home, after a major renovation, or for any older home where the wiring and panel have never been evaluated. We identify hazards and prioritize what needs attention.
