Brilliant Electric Heating & Cooling

The beginnings of our history date back to the 1930's, when John Heskin began learning the electrical trade in Ireland. By 1941, he was a professional electrician in Belfast for Harland & Wolf. Those were the same shipwrights who built the Titanic, though at the time they were working for the British Navy. Fifteen years after that, Heskin started an electrical contracting company here in Chicago. Our company has deep, deep roots in the community, stretching back many decades. Our knowledgeable technicians can find and fix problems the first time.

While lightning strikes can, of course, lead to power surges, there are many other potential causes, as well. That is why a whole-house surge protection system in Chicago, IL is so advisable.
