MET Group Inc. provides professional home electrical services throughout Long Grove, IL. Located nearby in Buffalo Grove, we help homeowners solve electrical problems, improve outdated systems and prepare their homes for new technology and higher electrical demand.
Our residential work includes electrical troubleshooting, breaker and circuit repairs, service panel improvements, EV charger installation, generator connections, lighting, dedicated circuits, outlets, switches, wiring and electrical work for remodeling projects.
Long Grove properties can require a different approach to electrical planning because many homes are situated on larger lots and may include expansive garages, outdoor living areas, extensive landscaping or electrical equipment located farther from the main service.
MET Group evaluates the existing system first and recommends a solution based on the property, electrical load and goals of the homeowner.
Home Electrical Work Available in Long Grove
From correcting a single electrical fault to preparing a home for major new equipment, MET Group provides a broad range of residential electrical services for Long Grove homeowners.
Electrical Problem Diagnosis
We locate and repair electrical problems involving breakers, wiring, receptacles, switches, lighting circuits and other components of the home's electrical system.
Common service calls include loss of power, repeated breaker trips, faulty outlets, flickering lights and circuits that no longer operate correctly.
Service Panel Improvements
An electrical panel needs sufficient capacity and breaker space to safely distribute power throughout the house.
MET Group can evaluate older, crowded or undersized panels and recommend replacement or increased electrical capacity when needed.
Level 2 Charging at Home
We install residential Level 2 EV charging circuits for garages and other appropriate charging locations.
Installation can include panel capacity evaluation, a dedicated 240V circuit, breaker installation, wiring and connection of compatible charging equipment.
Interior & Exterior Lighting
MET Group installs new lighting and upgrades existing fixtures throughout the home and property.
Projects may include recessed LEDs, kitchen fixtures, pendants, dimmers, exterior lights, garage lighting and other residential lighting improvements.
Receptacles, Switches & Controls
We repair and replace damaged or non-working outlets and switches and can add new devices where additional access to power or lighting control is needed.
Ceiling Fan Wiring & Installation
New or replacement ceiling fans can be installed with the correct electrical box, wiring and wall controls.
Electrical Planning for Long Grove Properties
Long Grove is characterized by low-density residential development, large lots, wooded surroundings and extensive open space. Those characteristics can affect residential electrical projects in ways that may not occur on a smaller suburban property.
A home may have sufficient electrical capacity for its original equipment but require additional power after years of improvements.
New electrical demand can come from:
The physical layout of the property can also influence an installation.
For example, supplying electricity to equipment close to the main panel may be straightforward. Running power to another part of a large garage, an exterior area or a detached structure can require additional planning for circuit length, wiring method and electrical load.
MET Group looks at both the immediate project and the existing electrical infrastructure before determining the best approach.
In some homes, adding one new circuit is sufficient. In others, additional breaker space, a subpanel or increased service capacity may provide a better long-term solution.
The Advantage of Working With MET Group
MET Group is based nearby in Buffalo Grove and has served homeowners in the surrounding Chicago suburbs since 2015. The company emphasizes direct, personalized residential electrical service, with labor handled directly rather than positioning itself as a large multi-crew operation.
Signs Your Electrical System Needs Attention
Electrical problems often provide warning signs before a complete circuit failure occurs.
Contact an electrician if you notice issues such as:
The location of the symptom does not necessarily reveal where the electrical problem actually exists.
A dead receptacle, for example, can sometimes result from a failed connection elsewhere on the same circuit. A breaker that trips may be reacting to an overloaded circuit, damaged wiring, faulty equipment, a short circuit or another electrical fault.
MET Group troubleshoots the circuit to identify the cause before recommending a repair.
Repeated electrical problems should not simply be managed by continually resetting breakers or replacing devices without determining why the problem is occurring.
Preparing Your Panel for Modern Electrical Loads
A home's electrical needs can change substantially without the electrical panel itself ever being updated.
Consider how many electrical loads may have been added since a house was originally built: larger kitchen appliances, additional refrigerators, computers, entertainment systems, new HVAC equipment, finished living areas and electric vehicle charging.
Before installing another major electrical load, it is important to determine whether the existing system can safely accommodate it.
MET Group can evaluate the electrical panel when you are considering:
An electrical panel may also warrant evaluation when it is full, shows signs of deterioration or regularly experiences breaker problems.
Depending on the home's current electrical service, the appropriate solution could be adding a dedicated circuit, installing a subpanel, replacing the existing panel or increasing service capacity.
MET Group's dedicated panel service includes panel evaluation and installations ranging from common 100-, 150- and 200-amp configurations, depending on the requirements of the property.
Home EV Charging Designed Around Your Garage
A Level 2 EV charger can make daily electric vehicle ownership much more convenient, but the charger needs a properly designed electrical supply.
Before installation, MET Group reviews both the charger and the home's electrical system.
Important factors include:
This planning can be especially important on larger Long Grove properties where the preferred charging location may be farther from the electrical service.
When adequate capacity is available, we can install the appropriate dedicated circuit and charging equipment.
If the electrical service cannot comfortably support the additional load, we can discuss panel or capacity improvements before proceeding with the charger installation.
Lighting for the Home and Property
Lighting is one of the most visible electrical improvements you can make to a home.
MET Group installs lighting that improves everyday function while also complementing the design of the property.
Indoor projects may include:
Outdoor work may include:
Rather than simply adding more fixtures, a good lighting plan puts illumination where it provides useful visibility and improves the way the property looks after dark.

Questions Long Grove Homeowners Often Ask
Yes. The appropriate design depends on what needs power, how far it is from the existing electrical equipment and the amount of electricity required. A project may use an individual branch circuit or, for larger electrical needs, a feeder and subpanel.
It can be. A subpanel may make sense when a garage needs several circuits for lighting, receptacles, tools, appliances or vehicle charging. We first evaluate the existing service and planned loads before determining whether a subpanel is appropriate.
Yes. Induction ranges commonly require a dedicated 240V circuit. The appliance specifications and existing electrical capacity should be reviewed before the circuit is installed.
A momentary voltage change can occur when equipment with a significant starting load operates, but noticeable or recurring dimming can also indicate circuit, connection or capacity issues. We can evaluate the electrical system if the behavior is frequent or concerning.
Yes. Hot tubs and spas have specific electrical requirements involving dedicated circuits, disconnects, grounding/bonding and protection. The exact installation depends on the equipment and its location.
Yes. Landscape lighting can be designed for walkways, entrances, planting areas and other parts of the property. The layout should consider fixture placement, wiring routes, controls and the areas where useful illumination is actually needed.
Permit requirements depend on the work being performed. Long Grove specifically includes electrical new devices, electrical upgrades and generators among the types of work covered by its permit documentation, and permit applications are submitted electronically through the Village's CommunityCore system.
