We had Ted and the Tritan team hang new lights, replace faucets, and install a rain shower system. It was so nice to have all of these items handed by the same team. They were fast, clean and their pricing was more than fair. They are my new go-to guys.

Four common questions in Darien
Short and honest answers to what a homeowners ask most.
What warranty do you offer on electrical work in Darien
Every install at a Darien home is covered by a two-year workmanship warranty. If a switch, fixture, breaker, or any other part we put in fails because of how it was installed, we come back and replace it at no charge.
Manufacturer warranties on the part itself often run longer, and we pass those through to you too.
Are quotes in writing
Yes. Every quote at a Darien home is in writing before any work begins. We list the parts and the labor on one page so you see the full price up front.
Verbal quotes are easy to forget. Written quotes are the only fair way to work. You sign the quote and that becomes the locked price.
Will you re-visit if something is off
Yes. If anything we installed in your Darien home is off after we leave, call us and we will return at no charge. That covers the two-year workmanship window and any callback during that period.
The point of a warranty is that you do not have to argue for the return visit. Call, give us the date of the original job, and we will be there.
Are your electricians licensed in Illinois
Yes. Every Tritan electrician working in Darien holds a valid Illinois electrical license, is fully bonded, and carries liability insurance plus workers compensation. License numbers and insurance certificates are available on request before any job begins.
Electrical terms every a homeowner should know
Twelve terms our Darien electricians use most often. Plain English, no jargon.
- AFCIArc-Fault Circuit Interrupter
- A breaker that trips when it senses an arc, like a frayed wire sparking inside a wall. Modern code requires AFCI breakers on most Darien bedroom circuits.
- GFCIGround-Fault Circuit Interrupter
- An outlet or breaker that cuts power the instant electricity finds a path to ground through a person or water. Required in kitchens, baths, garages, and outdoor outlets.
- Service entranceWhere power enters the home
- The set of wires running from the ComEd line on the street to the meter on the side of your Darien house. This is the gateway for all the power your home uses.
- Main breakerThe big switch in the panel
- The largest breaker at the top of your panel. Flipping it off cuts power to the whole home and is the first step before any safe work inside the panel.
- Sub-panelA second breaker box
- A smaller breaker box fed from the main panel. Common in finished basements, detached garages, and additions where running every circuit back to the main panel would be impractical.
- AlumiConnAluminum wire fix
- A small purple connector that safely joins aluminum branch wire to copper pigtails at outlets and switches. The accepted remediation for older Darien homes with aluminum wiring.
- Knob-and-tubePre-1950s wiring style
- An old wiring method that used ceramic knobs and tubes to support hot and neutral wires through framing. Found in some older Darien homes and usually replaced during a rewire.
- NEMA receptaclePlug shape standard
- The shape code that tells you what fits where. A NEMA 14-50 is the big four-prong 240V outlet used for ranges and many EV chargers. A NEMA 6-30 is a smaller 240V outlet for dryers and welders.
- Neutral busWhere neutrals tie in
- The metal bar inside your panel where all the white neutral wires from your circuits land. It carries return current back to the service entrance.
- AWGAmerican Wire Gauge
- The number that tells you how thick a wire is. Lower numbers mean thicker wire. A 12 AWG wire handles a 20A circuit. A 6 AWG wire handles a 50A or 60A EV charger circuit.
- WhipFlexible conduit pigtail
- A short, flexible metal conduit with wire already pulled through. Used to connect a furnace, an AC condenser, or a disposal where a rigid pipe would be hard to fit.
Our work guarantee in Darien
The promises we put in writing on every Darien job, in plain language.
Every electrical job at a Darien home is backed by a written workmanship guarantee. If a switch, outlet, breaker, fixture, or any other part our electricians installed fails because of how we did the work, we come back and fix it at no charge. The guarantee runs for two full years from the date of the original install and we honor it whether the original electrician on the job is still with us or not.
On top of our workmanship guarantee, we register the manufacturer warranty on every major part we install. Tesla Wall Connectors, Span panels, Lutron switches, recessed lights, and ceiling fans all carry their own manufacturer terms, and we file the paperwork so you do not have to. The warranty card and serial numbers are emailed to you the day the job closes.
Every Darien project follows the same return-visit rule. If you spot anything off after we leave, call us. We come back within the same week, look at it together, and make it right. There is no argument about who pays for the second trip. The guarantee is the point.
All Tritan work in Darien is billed only against a written quote that you signed. There are no surprise line items on the final invoice. The only way a number changes mid-job is if you ask for a change order, which we put in writing first and you approve in writing before we touch a single wire. Final payment is due only after the walkthrough is done and you tell us the job is right.
