Question 1

Are you licensed and insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. GG Electrical is fully licensed and carries liability insurance. I am happy to provide proof on request. Hiring an unlicensed electrician can void your homeowners insurance and leave you on the hook if something goes wrong, so never skip this question with anyone you hire.

Question 2

Do you pull permits for your work?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for the most part. Every panel upgrade, EV charger install, and major electrical job gets a proper permit and inspection. It protects your home, your insurance, and your resale value. If an electrician offers to skip the permit to save you money, that is a red flag, not a deal.

Question 3

What areas do you service?

Accepted Answer

I serve homeowners throughout Chicagoland. If you are not sure whether your town is in my service area, just call or send a message. If I cannot help, I will point you to someone who can.

Question 4

How much does it cost to install an EV charger?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your panel, the distance from the panel to your parking spot, and the amperage you want. Most residential installs land in a typical range, but I will not guess at your number. I come out, look at your setup, and give you a clear quote before any work starts. No surprises on the final bill.

Question 5

How do I know if my electrical panel needs to be upgraded?

Accepted Answer

A few common signs: your panel is a Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or Pushmatic (known fire risks), breakers trip often, lights flicker when appliances kick on, you are still on 100 amp service and want to add an EV charger or addition, or your panel is 30 plus years old. If any of that sounds familiar, it is worth a look.

Question 6

Do I need to be home during the work?

Accepted Answer

For the initial walkthrough and estimate, yes, so I can see everything and answer your questions in person. During the actual job, it depends. Many homeowners are comfortable letting me work while they are at the office. We can figure out what works best for your schedule when we book.
