Chicago homeowners from Lincoln Park to Logan Square choose Charge Home Solutions for electrical panel upgrade done right: licensed, Tesla-certified, and permitted. Chicago's classic brick homes and two-flats often need panel upgrades and rewiring to support EV charging.
Chicago homes span decades of electrical eras, and modern life asks more of a panel than most were built for. Harsh winters affect EV range and heating, making capacity planning important, which makes real capacity planning (not guesswork) the first step of any upgrade here.
The honest first step in Chicago is the load calculation, because many homes don't need the upgrade they were quoted elsewhere. When you do, the job is one day on site: new 200-amp panel with AFCI/GFCI protection, service-entrance and grounding updates to current code, utility disconnect coordination, and inspection. Meter or service-entrance work is the biggest price variable; we quote it precisely after seeing your setup. Older panels, fuse boxes, Federal Pacific, Zinsco, get straight answers and documented replacement.
Every Chicago project starts with a free in-home assessment and a fixed, written quote. We pull the Cook County permit, run the load calculation, and schedule inspection as part of the job. We work with ComEd and Ameren Illinois. Work is backed by our up-to-10-year workmanship guarantee.
Typical installed cost in Chicago runs $1,500–$4,000, quoted exactly after the free assessment. Illinois Shines and ComEd's charger and installation rebate can lower your net cost, we identify and help you claim everything you qualify for.
Chicago homeowners keep referring us for the same reasons: specialist electricians (not generalists squeezing this in), a fixed price that doesn't grow, Cook County permitting handled start to finish, and a workmanship guarantee of up to 10 years.
