Electrical Maintenance + Checkups

Electrical system tune-ups and regular maintenance are crucial for maintaining your household’s safety and comfort.  Over the years, electrical systems get modified and fiddled with by different people at different times with, let’s say, “different” levels of expertise. 

The system you have now is the end result of all that good-intentioned fiddling!  Avoid tripped circuits, fire hazards and electric shocks with a system review by our team. Let our technicians inspect your home’s wiring and provide long-lasting repairs to anything suspicious.

Regular inspections should encompass key areas such as the electrical panel, wiring, outlets, switches and lighting fixtures.

By identifying potential hazards, dangerous code violations, outdated components or signs of wear and tear, these inspections prevent electrical malfunctions and reduce the risk of electrical fires.

Common minor electrical repairs often include fixing faulty outlets, replacing worn-out switches, repairing flickering lights and addressing circuit breaker issues. Trusting the qualified electricians at Arnold Electrical to perform a thorough maintenance review guarantees a reliable and secure electrical system for your Chicago home.

Frequently Asked Questions

What factors could cause a quoted price to change after the initial inspection?

The only time pricing would change is if the scope of work changes.

If additional issues are discovered or if you decide to move forward with a different option, we would review everything with you and provide updated pricing before proceeding.
There are no surprises and no work done without your approval.

Permits are typically included as well, though they can vary depending on the municipality and specific project requirements.

Is pricing based on a flat rate or hourly rate?

All of our pricing is flat rate.

We provide all pricing upfront before any work begins, so you can make a clear and confident decision knowing exactly what to expect.

How does Chicago code requirements or permit costs impact final pricing?

Chicago and surrounding municipalities have specific electrical code requirements that must be followed to ensure safety and compliance.
In some cases, additional updates may be required to bring parts of the system up to current standards, which can impact overall pricing. Permit costs can also vary depending on the municipality and scope of work.
We handle this process for you and provide clear, upfront pricing so everything is done properly and without surprises.

How do you price emergency after-hours calls vs. scheduled work?

For after hours emergency calls, there is an upfront $89 cost to have a licensed, qualified electrician come out, assess the situation, and provide options.
Beyond that, all work is priced exactly the same as scheduled service. We do not inflate repair pricing just because it is after hours.
This allows you to get immediate help when you need it, while still knowing the cost of the actual work remains consistent and fair.

Yes, we offer financing through Wells Fargo for larger projects.
For specific plan details, our team will walk you through the available options, explain the process, and help you find a solution that fits your budget.

Tony arrived on time and kept us informed of his arrival. He did a thorough inspection of our home. He replaced the two bulb fixtures that were needed. One was in our crawl space and the other in our attic. We were hoping for a senior discount (which they do not give) because the cost was more than we thought it would be.

The tech who came, Sam, was very pleasant, patient and thorough. He explained and addressed the problems and gave us useful options for moving forward. When asked, Sam also carefully outlined possibilities for some additional electrical lighting we were considering, and followed up with written estimates for the work. Excellent service and we would definitely contact Arnold Electrical Services for our future electrical needs.

Needed an outlet for a pool filter. Arnold electric was very professional and friendly. Adnan and Raul did a fantastic job on the installation! 10/10 highly recommend.
Derrick just dropped by to assess my issue. He was efficient and diagnosed that a small tab within the light fixture was causing the light to switch off intermittently. I have done without the light for 8 years believing that there was short which may be a fire hazard. He fixed it within 10 mins and didn't charge me as the issue was minor. I am so grateful for his expertise and warm friendly service. Thank Arnold Electrical.
