Hi-Lite Electric provides electrical panel inspections, upgrades, and replacements for homeowners and businesses throughout Wheaton and the surrounding DuPage County area. We are ICC Certified, fully licensed, bonded, and insured, and we back every project with a 90-day parts warranty and a 1-year labor warranty.
When you reach out to Hi-Lite Electric, we take the time to understand the full scope of what you need before we talk through any estimate, and for panel work, an on-site visit is often necessary to properly assess your current setup. Once we have a clear picture, we provide a straightforward project quote with no surprises, and we schedule the work at a time that fits your calendar. Our electricians arrive at your Wheaton property prepared, work cleanly, and leave the space the way they found it when the work is done.

At Hi-Lite Electric, we treat every panel project in Wheaton as an opportunity to understand where your home or business stands today and where you want to take it. Whether you are thinking about adding an EV charger, finishing a basement, or expanding your commercial space, we can help you plan the electrical capacity to support those goals. Think of us as a resource you can come back to, not just a contractor you call once.
An on-site assessment is the most reliable way to determine whether your panel needs a full replacement or whether an inspection and targeted upgrades will bring it up to current code. Many Wheaton homes still have original Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels that are frequently flagged during home sales and are strong candidates for replacement.
Our 5-point inspection covers the panel’s UL approval status, breaker condition and labeling, wiring integrity, grounding and bonding, and overall load capacity relative to your current usage. It gives you a clear, factual picture of where your panel stands without guesswork.
Yes, panel upgrades in Wheaton require a permit through the City of Wheaton and must pass a municipal inspection. Hi-Lite Electric handles the permitting process and has deep familiarity with DuPage County municipalities, which helps keep the process moving efficiently.
Every panel project is different, and we provide a project quote after assessing your specific setup, which often requires an on-site visit first. We price our work to reflect the quality, experience, and accountability we bring to every project.
UL approval means the panel has been independently tested and meets established safety and performance standards. Panels that lack UL approval may not meet current code requirements and can create liability issues, particularly when selling a home or undergoing a commercial inspection.
Yes, Hi-Lite serves both residential and commercial clients, including full-spectrum voltage work from standard residential circuits through three-phase 480V commercial and light industrial systems. If you own both a home and a business in the area, we can serve both under one trusted relationship.
We do our best to schedule promptly, and for urgent situations we are available 24/7, day or night. Our vans are fully equipped so that when we arrive, we are ready to work without unnecessary delays.
Whether you need a safety inspection before a home sale, a full panel replacement, or guidance on upgrading capacity for a future project, Hi-Lite Electric is ready to help you move forward with confidence. We are ICC Certified (#25-0696), licensed, bonded, and insured, and every project we complete comes with a 90-day parts warranty and a 1-year labor warranty.
