An outlet that only works when you wiggle the plug is a burnt or loose contact, and it is a fire risk more than an inconvenience. AAA Electric electricians in Waukegan, IL replace worn receptacles and switches, correct reversed polarity and open grounds, and rewire boxes that were backstabbed instead of screwed down.

We use commercial grade devices on the swap, install tamper resistant receptacles where kids live, and put the right dimmer on LED fixtures so the buzzing and flicker stops.

Outlet And Switch Repair FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Outlet and Switch Repair

Questions we hear most often about Outlet and Switch Repair in Waukegan, IL.

Talk to a real person
How fast can an electrician get to me in Waukegan, IL?
Most repair calls in Waukegan, IL are booked for the same or next day. If it is an emergency, a breaker that will not reset, a hot panel or a burning smell, call (877) 351-4541 and we will get someone moving right away and tell you what to switch off in the meantime.
Do I need a permit for an electrical panel upgrade?
Yes, almost everywhere in the country. We pull it, schedule the inspection and coordinate the utility shutoff and reconnect. A panel change without a permit can void your insurance and will show up on a home inspection when you sell.
My breaker keeps tripping. Do I need a new breaker or a new panel?
It depends on why it trips. An overloaded circuit needs a second circuit, not a bigger breaker. A worn breaker gets replaced with the correct listed part. If the panel is a Federal Pacific, Zinsco or Sylvania model, or it has no spaces left, we will talk about replacement.
Is aluminum wiring dangerous?
Aluminum branch wiring from the late 1960s and early 1970s is a known fire risk at the connections, not in the wire itself. It can be made safe with AlumiConn or COPALUM pigtails at every device, or replaced with copper. We will inspect and price both options.
Can you add outlets without tearing up the walls?
In most rooms, yes. We fish cable through existing walls and ceilings and cut only the box opening. Where an access hole is unavoidable we patch it. Kitchens, garages and bathrooms may need GFCI or a new 20 amp circuit, which we will explain before starting.
