A licensed, family-owned electrical contractor in Naperville and surrounding areas since 1979. Award-winning panel upgrades, EV chargers, code corrections, and 24/7 emergency repair.
Tritan Services is a family-owned electrical contractor based right here in Naperville. We have wired homes and small businesses across Naperville and surrounding areas for more than four decades. Owner Ted started the shop in 1979, and the same family still answers the phone today.
We are not a national chain. We are your neighbors. Every electrician on the truck holds a valid Illinois license. We follow the local code, do the work right, and clean up after every job. That is the standard Ted set in 1979 and it is still how we work.
Need an outlet fixed today? We can help. Want to upgrade your panel from 100 to 200 amps? That is our daily work. Adding a Tesla Wall Connector? We do those installs across Naperville every week. Call us at (630) 687-3335 for a free estimate.
The work our Naperville electricians do most often. From a 200 amp panel upgrade to a quick GFCI swap, every job gets the same care.
Most older Naperville homes ship with a 100 amp panel. We upgrade them to a 200 amp panel built for central air, a hot tub, a Tesla, or a finished basement. We do the work to code, coordinate the ComEd meter swap, run new grounding, and clean up the wire labels so the next electrician thanks us. Federal Pacific, Zinsco, and Pushmatic panels get replaced with Square D or Eaton load centers.
Tesla Wall Connector, Tesla Universal Wall Connector, ChargePoint Home Flex, JuiceBox, Wallbox, Emporia, and the Ford Charge Station Pro. We size the 60 amp circuit, run the conduit, mount the unit in the garage or outside, and bond it to ground. If your panel cannot carry a Level 2 charger, we plan a load calc or a service upgrade in the same visit. Most installs finish in one day.
Older homes in the historic district and around downtown Naperville still hide knob and tube, cloth wire, or aluminum branch circuits. We pull a fresh romex run for every circuit, add AFCI breakers, ground every outlet, and patch the plaster small. Most rewires keep power on in stages so the family can stay in the house. Every wire gets labeled at the panel.
Recessed LED can lights in living rooms and kitchens, under-cabinet strip lighting, vanity bars in bathrooms, pendants over islands, chandeliers in dining rooms, and stairwell lighting. We cut clean drywall holes, run the wire without tearing up the ceiling, and add dimmer switches where they make sense. Smart switches from Lutron Caseta and Leviton Decora work with most jobs.
Path lights, uplights on the front of the house, soffit lighting under the eaves, deck and patio lighting, and bright LED floodlights for the driveway. We bury low-voltage runs along the walk and bring a 120 volt circuit out for bigger transformers. Motion sensors and dusk-to-dawn photo cells get wired so the yard runs itself. All boxes rated for wet locations.
New ceiling fan install over a bed, a great room, or a back porch. We add a fan-rated brace from the attic if the box was wired only for a light fixture, then wire the pull chain or a wall control. Hunter, Minka Aire, Casablanca, and Big Ass Fans all welcome. Loud humming, wobble, or a dead remote? We fix those too. Bonus pricing if we do two on the same visit.
New outlet runs from the panel to the spot you want power. Dead outlet diagnosis (often a broken backstab or a tripped GFCI on another wall). GFCI outlets at every kitchen counter, bathroom, garage, basement, and outdoor location to match Naperville code. AFCI breaker installs on bedroom and living-area circuits. Smart outlets, USB outlets, and surge-protected outlets for the home office.
Buying or selling a home in Naperville? We fix the items on the inspection report so the deal closes. Missing GFCIs, ungrounded outlets, double-tapped breakers, junction boxes hidden behind drywall, missing AFCI protection, and panel labeling. We do the work to code and hand you clean documentation for the title company.
Sparks at an outlet, a burning smell from the panel, a tree branch on the service drop, water in a basement junction box, a tripped main that will not reset, or storm damage at 2 AM. A real Tritan electrician answers the phone, gives you safety steps over the line, and rolls a truck. We coordinate with ComEd for any utility-side issue and stay until power is safe.
Every Naperville home gets a free written estimate before any work starts. The number on that estimate is the number you pay when the job is done.
Smaller jobs get a quick phone or written quote. Larger jobs get an in-person visit and an itemized written estimate that lists parts and labor on one page. You only approve the work after seeing the number. Call (630) 687-3335 for a free quote on your job.

See All Service AreasQuick answers to the questions we hear most often from local homeowners.
The cost depends on the job. A simple outlet repair costs less than a panel upgrade or a whole house rewire. Price is driven by the time required, materials, and the age of your home.
We always give a free, written estimate before we start work. You will know the price up front and we will not begin until you approve it. No hidden fees.
Yes. Every job follows the current National Electrical Code and Naperville rules. We test the work before we wrap up.
For electrical emergencies like no power, sparks, or a burning smell, we usually arrive the same day. For regular service, we often have same-day or next-day appointments.
Call (630) 687-3335 any time and we will give you a real arrival window.
Yes. Every Tritan electrician holds a valid Illinois electrical license. We are fully bonded and carry liability insurance plus workers compensation. That protects you and your home.
Consider a panel upgrade if your home has a 100 amp panel and you want to add central AC, a hot tub, or an EV charger. Also upgrade if breakers trip often, you have an old fuse box, or you have a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel.
Those older panel brands have known fire risks and many insurance companies will not cover them. We swap them out for safe modern panels.
Call us right away if you notice a burning smell from outlets or your panel, visible sparks, buzzing or crackling sounds, lights that flicker often, outlets that feel warm to the touch, or breakers that trip again and again. These can lead to a house fire.
Our 24/7 emergency line is (630) 687-3335.
The cost depends on the charger you pick, the distance from your panel to the install spot, whether your panel needs to be upgraded, and if any trenching is needed for a detached garage.
We provide free estimates so you will know the full price before we begin. Most Level 2 (240V) installs in Naperville are a single-day job.
A whole house rewire usually takes several days to about a week for an average Naperville home. The exact time depends on size, accessibility, and how the wiring is run today.
We work in stages so power is only off for short windows and you can stay in the home through most of the job.
Panel upgrade cost in Naperville depends on the size of the new service and the condition of the meter base. The quote covers the new Square D or Eaton panel, new grounding, and the ComEd meter coordination.
Older Federal Pacific or Zinsco swaps may need extra labor at the meter. We give a free written quote before we start, so the number is locked in writing before tools come out.
Yes. A Wall Connector runs on a 60 amp 240 volt line. We size the wire, breaker, and ground to the current code and test the charger on your car before we leave.
Aluminum branch-circuit wiring was common in homes built between 1965 and 1973. It can loosen at outlets and switches over time, which causes heat, arcing, and a real fire risk. Many insurance companies in Illinois now charge more or refuse to cover homes with aluminum branch wiring.
The safe fix is a copper pigtail at every outlet with AlumiConn or COPALUM connectors, or a full rewire to copper. We check your home first, then walk you through both options.
For scheduled work, we book weekday daytime hours at our regular rate. For true 24/7 emergencies like sparks, burning smells, dead power, or storm damage, a small after-hours fee may apply for nights, weekends, and holidays.
We always tell you the rate before we roll the truck, so there are no surprise charges on the final bill.
A Naperville home that is new to you, or new on the market, almost always has the same short list of electrical jobs waiting in the first few years. Some are code updates the city now requires that older builds skipped. Some protect the big-ticket appliances and electronics inside. Some plan for what is coming next, like an electric vehicle. Here are the five we book most often during the first five years of ownership.
Naperville code now requires AFCI breakers in bedrooms and most living areas, plus GFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and outdoor outlets. Many homes built before the 2014 code update still run plain breakers in those rooms. We swap them in the panel without opening any walls, so the upgrade is done to code.
ComEd lines around Naperville take regular hits during summer storms. Without a panel surge device, every spike rides into the house and burns control boards on the furnace, the AC, the fridge, and the smart panel on the dishwasher. A Type 2 surge protector mounted at the main panel clamps the spike before it reaches the wiring. The install takes one visit.
Even if no EV is parked in the garage today, the next car most likely will be. We run a 60 amp conduit and a junction box to the wall now, while the panel cover is off and the drywall is open. The day you bring home a Tesla, an F-150 Lightning, or an Ioniq, the Level 2 charger lands in an hour, not a week.
Patios, decks, garage exteriors, and holiday-light circuits all need a code-compliant outdoor GFCI outlet, weather-rated boxes, and an in-use cover. Path lights along the front walk, soffit lighting under the eaves, and an outlet near the eave for holiday lights all go in on the same visit. The yard runs on a dusk-to-dawn photo cell or a wall switch inside.
A finished basement, a home gym, or a future in-law suite quickly outgrows a single panel. A sub-panel down in the basement keeps every basement circuit short and clean. A smart panel option from Span or Leviton adds per-circuit monitoring through the phone, so you see exactly what is drawing power and what is not.
Knock these five out over the first five years and your Naperville home stays ahead of code, ahead of insurance asks, and ready for the next addition. Call (630) 687-3335 for a free written plan that lays out which job to do first based on the panel and the wiring already in your home.
Every nearby town has its own typical electrical job mix. The mix follows the age of the housing stock, the typical lot size, and how many new builds are still going up. Knowing what is common in your town helps you plan, and it helps us bring the right parts on the truck. Here is how Naperville stacks up next to four close neighbors.
Wheaton sits older. The downtown blocks, the historic district, and the Northside hold Victorian, Foursquare, and bungalow homes with active knob-and-tube and cloth wiring. Wheaton work is heavy on full rewires, fuse-to-breaker swaps, and grounding upgrades. Naperville is newer on average, so the work skews to AFCI retrofits, panel upgrades from 100 to 200 amps, and modern code corrections, not rewires.
Plainfield is still growing. New subdivisions go up most years, so a big share of the local electrical work is rough-in wiring for a brand new build. Naperville is mostly built out at this point, so the work is retrofit and remodel. Finished basements, EV chargers in an existing garage, kitchen redos that need new circuits, and panel upgrades for a hot tub or central air.
Aurora has the widest range of housing ages in the area. Downtown Aurora holds 19th-century homes, the near suburbs hold mid-century ranches, and the far west side has new builds. That means more varied work in any one Aurora week, from knob-and-tube replacement to brand-new EV pre-wire. Naperville work is more uniform because the housing stock is more uniform.
Bolingbrook is a newer suburb, so panels and wiring are already modern on most homes. The work that pops up most often there is EV charger installation, since the housing is the right age for first-time EV adoption. Naperville books a steady mix of EV chargers AND panel upgrades, because the older Naperville neighborhoods still need the 200 amp jump before the Tesla shows up.
Tritan is based in Naperville and our trucks reach every one of these towns the same day. That local base is the advantage. We know these towns block by block, we know which neighborhood streets are still running 60 amp service, and we know which subdivisions had aluminum branch wiring in the 1970s. Call (630) 687-3335 for a free estimate from a Naperville electrician who already works your block.
