From aging switchboards that trip constantly to panel upgrades that bring your home up to code, J & A delivers the safe, reliable electrical work Chicago homeowners trust. No surprises — just honest craftsmanship and a phone number that actually gets answered.
Every home has different electrical needs. We focus on the services that keep your family safe and your power running smoothly — no matter the age of your property.
Old switchboards can't keep up with modern living. We upgrade your panel to handle today's demands — air conditioning, home offices, EV chargers — safely and to code.
Breakers tripping for no reason? Flickering lights? We diagnose and repair panel issues quickly, so you're never left in the dark — literally.
From faulty outlets to wiring that needs updating, we handle the full range of residential electrical repairs with care and attention to detail.
Buying a new home? We'll inspect the electrical system thoroughly so you know exactly what you're working with — and what needs attention before it becomes a problem.
Whether it's recessed lighting, ceiling fans, or outdoor fixtures, we install lighting that looks great and works reliably for years to come.
Electrical emergency? We respond fast to urgent situations — power loss, burning smells, sparking outlets — because your safety can't wait until Monday.
J & A Electrical Switchboards started with a simple belief: homeowners in Chicago deserve an electrician who shows up on time, explains what's wrong in plain English, and does the job right the first time.
We specialize in switchboards and electrical panels — the parts of your home's wiring system that most people don't think about until something goes wrong. That's exactly where we come in. Whether your panel is 40 years old and barely holding on, or you're adding a renovation and need more capacity, we'll walk you through your options without pressure or jargon.
We're based right here in Chicago, and we treat every home like it's our own. That means clean work, respectful of your space, and completed with your safety as the only priority.
We keep things simple because your day is already complicated enough.
Describe your issue or project. We'll ask the right questions and schedule a time that works for you — same-day service when possible.
We arrive on time, inspect the problem, and explain exactly what needs to be done — in language you actually understand. No surprise fees.
We complete the work to code, clean up after ourselves, and make sure everything works perfectly before we leave. Your peace of mind is the goal.
The best reward for good work is a homeowner who recommends you to their friends and family.
"Our 1950s bungalow had an original panel that couldn't handle a single appliance. J & A replaced our switchboard in a day, cleaned up everything, and explained exactly what they did. We finally feel safe having guests over for dinner without worrying about a blackout."
"I called at 7 AM with a power issue that left half my kitchen dark. They came out the same afternoon, found a loose main connection, and had it fixed before lunch. No upselling, no drama — just competent people who care about doing the job right."
"We bought an older home and wanted a full electrical inspection before our renovation. J & A went above and beyond — they flagged issues we didn't know existed and gave us a clear plan. That honesty is rare. I recommend them to everyone."
One call is all it takes. Tell us what you need, and we'll get you scheduled — often the same day. No obligation, no pressure, just honest help from people who know electrical work.
Whether it's a quick repair or a full switchboard replacement, we're here to help. Reach out by phone, email, or stop by our Chicago location — we're happy to answer any questions.
