Circuit Installation, Extensions & Rewiring

Residential Circuit Electricians

Whether you’re adding a new appliance, finishing a basement, or dealing with wiring that hasn’t been touched since the house was built, Hi-Lite Electric handles circuit installation, extension, and rewiring work for homes of all ages across Northern Illinois. Every circuit we install or modify is permitted, inspected, and built to current code.

What We Do

New Dedicated Circuits

Many appliances and pieces of equipment require their own dedicated circuit — meaning nothing else shares that line. We install dedicated circuits from 15A up to 100A for appliances including refrigerators, dishwashers, ranges, dryers, air conditioners, sump pumps, and specialty equipment. Adding the right circuit upfront prevents nuisance tripping and protects your equipment from shared-load interference.

Circuit Extensions

Sometimes you don’t need a new circuit from the panel — you just need to extend an existing one to reach a new location. We run extensions using 1/2″ to 1-1/4″ EMT, rigid conduit, or raceway systems, depending on what the location requires and what will look cleanest for the finished space.

Circuit Rewiring

Older wiring — whether aluminum conductors, undersized wire, or circuits that have been modified multiple times — can cause intermittent issues, failed inspections, and long-term reliability problems. We offer three levels of single-circuit rewiring, from targeted repairs to comprehensive replacement, including device and wall plate upgrades as part of the scope.

Equipment Hookups

For residential and specialty equipment requiring direct electrical connections up to 20A, we handle the full hookup — wire, connections, and any required disconnect or protection device. If your equipment came with specific wiring requirements, we work to those specifications.

Permits & Inspections

Circuit work that bypasses the permit process creates problems — failed home inspections during a sale, insurance complications, and no record of what’s in the walls. Hi-Lite handles permitting and inspection coordination as part of the job. Our familiarity with local municipalities means inspections pass without the delays and callbacks that slow down other contractors.

Why Hi-Lite Electric

We are ICC Certified, licensed, bonded, and insured. Every circuit installation or rewire we perform is backed by a 90-day parts warranty and a 1-year labor warranty. Our vans are fully stocked so we can complete most circuit work in a single visit.
