How much do Chicago electricians cost?

Service call: $95–$175. Hourly labor: $110–$200. Panel upgrade to 200A: $2,500–$5,500. Whole-house rewire: $10,000–$30,000 depending on square footage. EV charger install: $600–$1,800.

Yes for panel changes, new circuits, EV chargers, service upgrades, and rewiring. No for like-for-like fixture replacement. When in doubt, ask — Chicago inspectors are strict.

Is knob-and-tube wiring dangerous?

It's not automatically unsafe if intact, but insurance companies increasingly refuse to cover homes with it. Most Chicago homes still have some in attics or basements. Full replacement is usually $8,000–$20,000.

How long does electrical work take?

Outlet install: 30 min–1 hr. Panel upgrade: 4–8 hours + inspection. Whole-house rewire: 5–15 days depending on size and access.
