Chicago
Paul's Electric is a family-owned electrical contractor based on N. Oleander Avenue on Chicago's Northwest Side. The company states it has been in business since 1979 and serves homeowners and property owners in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.
Its residential work centers on the electrical backbone of a house: 200 and 400 amp service upgrades, panel and circuit breaker replacement, converting old fuse boxes to breakers, and whole-house surge protection. The crew also installs and replaces outlets, switches, GFCI outlets and light fixtures, and handles additions, rewiring and the repair of code violations.
The company notes that it is licensed in the City of Chicago and suburbs and that its installers are ICC-certified for EV charger installation. Emergency service is offered, and customers can reach the office on 773 and 312 numbers.
