Had a mysterious power issue that two other electricians could not figure out. This team found a damaged wire in the attic causing intermittent shorts. Problem solved immediately. (Chicago)

Half the outlets in our kitchen stopped working. They traced it to a bad GFCI outlet and had everything back on in under an hour. Reliable electrical service. (Chicago)

Had the aluminum wiring in our home remediated with COPALUM connectors. Insurance required it. They were the most knowledgeable about this specific electrical issue. (Chicago)

Arnold Electrical removed knob and tube wiring from our 1920s Wicker Park greystone. This is specialized work most electricians won't touch. $6,200 for full rewire of the second floor. They know old Chicago construction and didn't damage any plaster. Permit pulled, inspection passed.
