For over 30 years, Jim Avila and the team have served homeowners and businesses from Naperville to St. Charles, Wheaton to Aurora.

Jim Avila, our lead electrician, brings 30 years of hands-on experience to every project. Supported by owner and office manager Aracely Avila, the company remains rooted in family values. We serve the Western Suburbs with a strict no-subcontractors policy, ensuring you always receive the same high level of workmanship and accountability. Our team has handled everything from updating old wiring in Geneva’s classic neighborhoods to troubleshooting tripping breakers after storms in Bartlett. Whether you need a panel upgrade, code violation correction, or specialized pool and spa wiring, you can count on us for honest advice, free detailed estimates, and a one-year workmanship warranty.

At West Suburban Electric, safety is never an afterthought. Every electrician on our team is licensed, insured, and background checked for your peace of mind. We are proud to offer 24/7 emergency service with a live person available to answer your call any time, day or night. Our services cover a wide range of needs: electrical repairs, troubleshooting flickering lights, dedicated circuits for heavy appliances, and surge protection that meets the latest 2023 codes.

Our approach is professional yet friendly, and we are humbled by the positive reviews from neighbors who trust us with their most valuable asset, their home.
