No wall gets opened until the scope is on paper. The rest of the deal is below.

They took effect on October 2, 2026, and that is also the date they were last changed. If you used the site before that, the version you saw then covered that visit. This one covers every visit from that date on.

Simsandsonselectric, trading at simsandsonselectric.co under the name Sims & Sons Electric and Plumbing. A family firm. The shop is at 1338 W Eddy St, Chicago, Illinois 60657, United States, in Lakeview on the North Side.

Phone 312-282-1170. Email [email protected]. More on who does the work is on the about page.

It tells you what we do, how a job is priced, and how to reach us. You can read about electrical repair, panel upgrades, rewiring and EV charger circuits, or about burst pipes and water heater replacement. You can call, send a job through the contact form, or open the support chat.

It does not diagnose your house. A paragraph about 60 amp fuse boxes is general information about Chicago housing stock, not an inspection of yours. If you smell burning or see scorching on a breaker, do not read further. Shut off the main if you can do it safely and call 312-282-1170.

The site also does not book a confirmed time slot. A sent form is a request. We call you back to set the visit.

No. There is no cart, no checkout and no card field anywhere on this site. Nothing is sold here and no payment is taken here.

Any figure you see on a page, a typical amperage, a tank size, what a job like yours has involved before, is an estimate for orientation. It is not a quote and it does not bind either of us.

An inquiry becomes an order like this: you call or send the form, we come out and look, we write down the scope and the price, and you sign or confirm that written quote. Only then is there a job. For an emergency call-out the same rule runs on a shorter clock. We state the call-out charge and the rate on arrival, before any tool comes out, and you say yes or no.

All prices are in US dollars. There are two bases, and the quote tells you which one applies.

• Fixed written quote. Service and panel upgrades, EV charger circuits, water heater replacement. Given after a site visit, because we do not quote a panel upgrade over the phone. We need to see the meter, the service drop and the existing panel.
• Call-out plus time and materials. Emergency electrical repair and burst or frozen pipes. The call-out charge and hourly rate are stated before work starts. Knob-and-tube replacement is quoted per circuit after inspection, with plaster patching itemised on its own line.

What changes a fixed price: something behind the wall that nobody could see at the visit. Rotted joists around a panel. A second, unrecorded feed. Cloth wire spliced into a run that was supposed to be modern. If we find one, we stop, show you, and write a change before carrying on. We do not add it to the bill afterwards and hope you do not notice.

What a quote never covers unless it says so: drywall and plaster finishing, painting, and utility fees charged directly to you by ComEd or the city. The quote says what it includes and what it does not, in writing.

Use it as a person looking for an electrician or a plumber and you will not come near any of this. Do not send the form or the chat in someone else's name, or with an address that is not the job. Do not flood either one with automated submissions, probe the site for weaknesses, or try to get into the parts of the server that are not public. Do not scrape the pages to republish them, and do not use the chat to send abuse to whoever is on shift.

We do. The text, the photographs, the Sims & Sons logo and the round maker's seal belong to Simsandsonselectric. You can print a page for your own records or forward a link to a neighbour with a fuse box problem. You cannot copy the photographs or the copy onto another business's site, and you cannot use the name or the seal to suggest we did work we did not do.

The site is provided as it is. We keep the information current, but code requirements, utility procedures and permit steps change, and a page can lag behind. We do not warrant that the site is free of errors or that it is up every minute of every day. If the form fails, the phone line does not depend on it.

Guidance on a page is general. It is not a substitute for an electrician or a plumber standing in front of your panel or your pipes. Arrival times given on a call are our best honest estimate given traffic and the job before yours, not a guarantee.

For use of the website, we are not liable for loss that comes from relying on general information here instead of getting the job looked at, or from the site being unavailable for a while. Where the law lets us limit liability for the website, it is limited to direct loss that was reasonably foreseeable.

Work in your home is a different matter and is governed by the written quote for that job, along with the law of Illinois. Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law does not allow to be limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

Yes, if the site is being misused in the ways listed above. We can block an IP address, ignore form submissions from it, or close a chat thread. We can also take the site or a page down for maintenance without notice. None of that cancels a job already agreed in writing. That runs on its quote.

The law of Illinois, United States. A dispute is heard in the courts of Chicago. Before anyone files anything, call us. Most disagreements over a job turn out to be a line on a quote that two people read two different ways, and that is a ten-minute conversation.

The date at the top of this page changes, and so does the line in the stamp beside it. If a change touches pricing bases or the warranty wording, we say what moved in a short note at the top of this page for at least 30 days. A quote you already signed stays on the terms it was written under.
