Hi-Lite Electric is Arlington Heights’ trusted source for residential and commercial electrical services, from routine upgrades to complex commercial installations. We bring fully equipped crews, continual training, and 24/7 availability to every project we take on.
When you reach out, we take the time to understand the scope of your project before anything else, and for many projects in Arlington Heights, an on-site visit is the right first step to properly assess the work involved. From there, we provide a straightforward project quote so you know what to expect before any work begins. Our crews show up on schedule, work cleanly, and leave the space the way they found it when the work is done.

Beyond the immediate project, Hi-Lite Electric is here to help Arlington Heights homeowners and business owners think through what comes next, whether that is planning for an EV charger, adding outdoor lighting, or preparing the electrical system for a future addition or renovation. We take a consultative approach because good electrical planning today saves unnecessary rework later. Think of us as a long-term resource, not just a one-time call.
For straightforward projects, we can often provide an estimate after a brief conversation about your needs, but many projects require an on-site visit before we can quote accurately. We believe in transparent project quotes so there are no surprises once work begins.

Absolutely. Many Arlington Heights homes, especially the post-WWII ranch homes and split-levels that make up much of the older residential neighborhoods, still have original 100-amp service panels and aluminum branch wiring that may need upgrades or remediation. Illinois winters with repeated freeze-thaw cycles also put stress on outdoor conduit and service entrance equipment, so panel service and electrical inspections are among the most common calls we handle in this area.
Hi-Lite handles both residential and commercial electrical work in Arlington Heights, including projects that require specialized equipment like bucket trucks, scissor lifts, and directional boring equipment. We also have deep familiarity with local municipal permitting processes, which matters when project timelines and downtime costs are a real concern.
Scheduling depends on the scope of the project and current availability, but we work to get on-site as promptly as possible, especially for urgent needs. For true emergencies, our emergency service is available around the clock with no waiting for the next business day.
