MET Group Inc. provides residential electrical services for homeowners throughout Lincolnshire, IL. Located nearby in Buffalo Grove, we handle electrical repairs, service and panel upgrades, EV charger installations, generator connections, lighting projects, new circuits, wiring, outlets, switches and other electrical improvements for the home.
Electrical needs often change as a property changes. A kitchen renovation can require new appliance circuits. An electric vehicle may place additional demand on the electrical service. A finished basement, home addition, workshop or new HVAC system can also require electrical capacity that was never part of the home's original design.
MET Group evaluates the existing system before recommending the work, helping homeowners choose an electrical solution that is appropriate for both the immediate project and the home's overall electrical demands.

How Lincolnshire Homes Create Different Electrical Demands
Lincolnshire has a distinctive residential character. Much of the village consists of single-family homes on spacious, wooded properties, while other areas include townhomes, attached housing and newer residential development.
The age of the housing stock also varies substantially. Some homes date to the early decades of Lincolnshire's development, while many others were constructed or extensively renovated in later years.
That mix produces very different electrical situations from house to house.
A well-maintained home can still have an electrical service that was designed before electric vehicles, high-capacity kitchen appliances, modern HVAC systems and today's amount of electronic equipment became common.
Larger properties may also have electrical needs extending beyond the main living area, such as:

When Something Electrical Stops Working
An electrical problem may start with something as simple as a light that occasionally flickers or an outlet that suddenly stops providing power.
Sometimes the repair is straightforward. In other cases, the visible symptom is only one part of the problem.
MET Group troubleshoots issues such as:
Rather than repeatedly resetting a breaker or replacing components without identifying the cause, troubleshooting allows the circuit to be tested and the source of the problem narrowed down.
For example, repeated breaker trips may be related to excessive circuit load, equipment failure, a wiring problem, a short circuit or another electrical fault.
More Electrical Capacity for Today's Home
Homes use electricity differently today than they did even twenty years ago.
Electric vehicles, induction cooking, larger HVAC systems, home offices, workshops, entertainment equipment and other electrical loads can quickly consume available panel capacity.
That makes electrical service capacity an important part of planning a major home improvement.
MET Group can evaluate your existing electrical service when you are considering:
In Lincolnshire, the Village has historically required 200-amp electrical service for new single-family homes, and local code provisions have also addressed service capacity when improvements require circuits beyond the capacity of an existing panel.
For an existing property, the correct recommendation depends on the current electrical service, panel condition, available breaker positions and the calculated electrical load.
Convenient Home Charging for Your EV
Installing a Level 2 charger at home can turn overnight parking into everyday charging, but the charger should be treated as a significant electrical load rather than simply another garage appliance.
MET Group plans residential EV charger installations around both the charger's specifications and the home's electrical system.
Before installation, we can evaluate:
Installation may involve a new dedicated 240V circuit, breaker, metal raceway, electrical box and the appropriate connection for the charging equipment.
Where the existing electrical system cannot comfortably support the additional load, we can discuss the electrical upgrades needed before the charger is installed.
This is particularly useful for homeowners who expect their electrical demands to continue increasing as more vehicles, appliances and home systems become electric.
Lighting Designed Around the Way You Use Your Home
Lighting can dramatically change a room without changing its layout.
A space with inadequate or poorly placed lighting can feel smaller and less functional, while a properly designed lighting layout can provide both usable task lighting and comfortable ambient light.
MET Group works on residential lighting projects such as:
For larger rooms, combining different types of lighting can provide more flexibility than relying on one central fixture.
Outdoor lighting can also improve the usability of larger Lincolnshire properties by providing illumination around walkways, entrances, patios, driveways and landscaped areas.

Yes. Before adding significant electrical loads such as an EV charger, electric range, HVAC equipment or hot tub, we can evaluate your existing electrical service and panel capacity to determine what electrical work may be required.
Yes. These appliances commonly require dedicated 240V circuits. The required circuit size depends on the manufacturer's electrical specifications and the existing electrical system must have adequate capacity for the additional load.
Yes. MET Group performs residential generator-related electrical work, including electrical connections and transfer equipment where applicable. The complete installation must be planned according to the generator, home electrical system and local requirements.
Yes. We can install additional receptacles, lighting and dedicated circuits for tools or equipment. For larger electrical loads, we first evaluate panel and service capacity.
Yes. The Village of Lincolnshire states that electrical work requires a building permit. Depending on the project, permit documents may include electrical plans, contractor registration information and other supporting materials.
Lincolnshire's local electrical provisions have required 200-amp service for new single-family residences and have addressed upgrades where improvements require additional circuits beyond the capacity of an existing panel.
For an existing home, the electrical service should be evaluated based on the actual project and applicable current Village requirements rather than assuming every home automatically needs replacement.
