Electrical Services

Electricity is an integral part of your suburban Chicago home life, powering many key functions and helping you and your family to live comfortably. However, electrical systems can develop issues, some of which can be dangerous. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, in 2022 there were 26,100 residential electrical malfunction fires in the U.S. causing 185 deaths, 850 injuries, and nearly $1.5 billion in financial losses.

If you notice any signs of electrical issues in your home, it’s critical to call a professional immediately. TR Miller Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing has been a trusted partner in home repair services in suburban Chicago since 2008 and is ready to serve your electrical needs. Our priorities are keeping your home functioning properly and ensuring that your family stays safe.

Electric Repair

An electrical system consists of many intricate parts, and a malfunction of any of those parts can cause issues. Common electrical problems that need repair include:

• Flickering lights
• Faulty light fixtures
• Loose outlets
• Hot outlets
• Faulty GFCI outlets and breakers
• Blown fuses
• Power surges
• Tripping circuit breakers
• Buzzing sounds from light switches or outlets
• Faulty light switches
• Shocks from electrical devices
• Burning smells from outlets, switches, fixtures, or the breaker box

Sometimes you can have electrical issues that you can’t see, particularly if your electrical system is older. If your home is more than 25 years old, an annual electrical inspection is recommended. The professionals at TR Miller can provide the expert repair or inspection services that you need.

Also, if you notice that your electric bills are getting higher, certain electrical issues could be to blame. TR Miller can evaluate your home to determine if your electrical system or your HVAC system could be the cause.

Whole Home Generator

With the unpredictable weather that we experience in the Chicago area, many people choose to have a whole house generator installed so that when the power goes out, they have a backup source of electricity.

A whole house generator can run on natural gas, propane, diesel, or gasoline. They require professional installation and vary in cost based on the fuel source and the size of the generator.

Whole house generators offer many benefits including:

• Preventing burst pipes
• Providing power for medical equipment
• Preventing spoiled food in the refrigerator and freezer
• Running longer than a portable generator
• Keeping security features in your home running

Whole house generators may even increase the value of your home.

If you are considering a whole house generator for your suburban Chicago home, TR Miller can evaluate your needs and discuss your options with you based on your needs and budget. We’ll offer a transparent estimate and provide expert installation when you’re ready to proceed.

Generator Repair

Whole house generators can last 20 to 40 years if they are properly maintained and serviced, but they still may need repairs periodically. You should test your generator once a month to look for issues like strange noises, odors, inconsistent power, or no power.

TR Miller can provide regular servicing of your generator and make repairs when necessary. Our team has extensive knowledge of all types of generators and can handle any issue.

Ceiling Fans and Fixtures

Ceiling fans and light fixtures can be tricky to install yourself, so the safe bet is to have them professionally installed. Whether you’re adding new fans or fixtures or replacing the old ones, the team at TR Miller is happy to handle the installation for you.
