electrical repair Chicago

Is your home or business constantly tripping breakers or struggling to power modern appliances and devices? You likely need an electrical service upgrade in Chicago. As energy consumption increases with new technology, older electrical panels (often 100 amps or less) become overloaded and unsafe, posing a fire risk and limiting your property's functionality.

This service is essential for homeowners renovating kitchens or adding home offices, as well as business owners expanding their operations or updating equipment. Our licensed electricians at Montoya Electric begin with a thorough assessment of your current panel, wiring, and your future power needs. We then handle the entire upgrade process, which typically involves replacing your existing panel with a new, higher-amperage unit (like 200 amps), updating the meter socket, and ensuring all connections meet the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) standards for Chicago.

Why choose us? With 30 years of experience, we've performed countless service upgrades across Chicago. We prioritize safety above all, securing all necessary permits and conducting rigorous post-installation testing. Our clean, efficient work minimizes disruption, and we ensure your upgraded system is not only more powerful but also smarter and safer for your family or employees.

Are rising energy bills cutting into your business's bottom line? Lighting retrofitting in Chicago is one of the fastest and most effective ways to reduce operational costs and improve your space's quality of light. This process involves replacing outdated, inefficient lighting fixtures and bulbs (like fluorescent tubes or incandescent bulbs) with modern, energy-efficient LED technology.

This service is ideal for business owners, property managers, and facility operators looking to lower utility expenses, reduce maintenance costs (LEDs last significantly longer), and enhance the brightness and color quality of their commercial, retail, or multi-unit residential spaces. The process starts with an audit of your existing lighting system. We then design a retrofit plan that may include replacing ballasts, installing new LED troffers or panels, and adding smart controls like motion sensors or dimmers for further savings.

Montoya Electric is your expert partner for commercial lighting retrofitting in Chicago. We understand that business operations cannot stop, so we schedule work to minimize interference. Our electricians ensure the new installation is clean, professional, and fully functional. The result is immediate savings on your energy bill, a reduced carbon footprint, and a better-lit, more productive environment for your staff and customers.

Are you a general contractor or developer building in Chicago and need a reliable, precise electrical partner? New construction electrical services form the vital nervous system of any building project, and getting it right from the start is non-negotiable for safety, functionality, and future value.

This comprehensive service is for general contractors, builders, and developers working on multi-unit residential buildings, commercial spaces, or CHA contracts. The process begins in the rough-in phase, where we install all the wiring, conduit, junction boxes, and panel backbones before walls are closed. We then return for the finish phase to install outlets, switches, lighting fixtures, appliances, and finalize connections to the main service panel. We coordinate closely with other trades to ensure a seamless build.

Montoya Electric actively seeks partnerships with new general contractors. We specialize in the complex demands of multi-unit and commercial projects, where scale and code compliance are critical. Our team is known for neat, straight conduit runs, precise planning that avoids unnecessary wall damage, and thorough clean-up.
