What actually breaks in Chicago

Winter is when Chicago electrical problems surface. Space heaters and electric heat push circuits to their limits on the coldest days, and older panels in older Chicago housing are where that shows first. Storms and ice bring outages and surges, and moisture works into exterior outlets and service equipment through the freeze-thaw cycle.

Common electrical problems Roger handles in Chicago

  • an outlet or whole run with no power
  • a breaker that trips as soon as it is reset
  • lights that flicker or dim
  • a GFCI that won't reset
  • a burning smell or warm switch plate
  • a panel that is full or outdated
  • ceiling fan or fixture installation
  • an EV charger circuit
  • a switch that no longer controls anything

Before you book: A burning smell, scorch marks or a warm outlet is a fire risk, not a maintenance item — cut that circuit at the breaker and get an electrician out.
