Signs Your Home or Business Needs Electrical Rewiring
Not sure if your property needs a wiring upgrade? These are the most common warning signs that your electrical system is overdue for attention:
- Flickering or dimming lights: Often a sign of loose connections, overloaded circuits, or aging wiring that can no longer handle the load.
- Frequent breaker trips: If your breakers trip regularly, your wiring is struggling to keep up with your power demands.
- Outdated knob-and-tube wiring: Common in older Oak Lawn homes, this type of wiring is no longer code-compliant and poses significant safety risks.
- Burning smells or discolored outlets: These are urgent red flags that should prompt an immediate inspection by a licensed electrician.
- Not enough outlets: Relying on extension cords and power strips throughout your home is a sign that your wiring cannot meet modern needs.
- Planning a renovation: Any major addition, remodel, or appliance upgrade is an ideal time to assess and upgrade your wiring.
If any of these signs sound familiar, do not wait. Electrical problems do not resolve themselves; they tend to worsen over time. Contact Reed Electrical Services for an honest assessment and a clear path forward.

I had a few ceiling fans and light fixtures replaced as well as GFI outlets changed. I was also able to get new wired fire alarms installed the same day. I would definitely recommend Reed Electrical for any electrical work you need done.Posted on Google Jim GallaherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an issue with a couple entryway switches where two of the switches turned on both the porch light and entryway light at the same time instead of turning on/off each one independently. This was one of those 100 issues on the repair list that I finally got around to addressing. I took a look at the switch to see if I could figure out the issue, but after seeing that the wiring appeared to be done incorrectly and one wire actually came loose during my inspection, I said yeah... I have no idea what they did (Previous ownership) and I'm not messing around with it. So, I put everything back and called Reed. Peter came over and quickly confirmed that the switch was wired incorrectly, explained what they did wrong, and had it wired back the correctly to where both lights now turn on/off independently. I will certainly call Reed Electrical again in the future to have an inspection done to make sure there are no other issues to be concerned about. Thank you for the prompt service! Edit-Note: The picture of the switch's wiring is how I originally discovered it and how it was BEFORE it was corrected. Unfortunately, I do not have an after picture to show. You'll just have to take my word that it is now wired and working correctly. lolPosted on Google Kathy MittelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a new lighting fixture installed as well as several outlets. The service was exceptional as always. The work was scheduled promptly and completed to my satisfaction. I highly recommend Reed Electrical Services.
