From same-day service calls to ground-up new construction, one licensed team, every kind of electrical work, done to code.
Flickering lights, dead outlets, tripped breakers. One call and we're usually on it the same visit.
100A → 200A. Old fuse boxes to modern breaker panels. Most pre-1980 homes are due.
Tesla, ChargePoint, Wallbox. We pull the permit, run the line, pass inspection.
Wired right from the ground up, permitted and inspected at every step.
Kitchens, baths, basements. Wired right the first time so walls don't reopen.
Restaurant build-outs, retail, office & tenant work. Tight schedules respected.
Cameras, alarms, smart locks, doorbells. Run cleanly and configured properly.

A sample of recent jobs across Chicago and the Northwest suburbs.
Mark Curescu has been wiring homes and businesses across Chicago and the Northwest suburbs for 10 years. He started as an apprentice, worked his way up through every kind of job, and built Altaira Electric on a simple idea: do the work the right way, every time, and the rest takes care of itself.
He's licensed, insured, and bonded. He works to code, not because he has to, but because he wants to. He understands that cut corners end up costing you more in the long run.
If something needs to be fixed properly, he'll tell you. He won't do the cheap version that bites you later. That's not how he was taught, and it's not how he runs his shop.
120+ Google reviews. 5.0 average. We'll let the neighbors do the talking.
"Mark was incredibly thorough, kept us in the loop at all times, and paid attention to every detail to ensure our home met proper electrical codes."
"Altaira Electric sets the standard. Upgraded my service and installed an EV charger. Amazed by the professionalism and transparency."
"Replaced my old fuse box with a 200-amp panel. Showed up when he said. Cleaned up after himself. Hard to find someone who does what they say."
"Installed landscape lighting around our whole front yard. The transformer is hidden, wires buried right. Three winters in, nothing has shifted."
"For our restaurant build-out, Mark was the one contractor who understood the timeline pressure. Code-compliant. Inspector took five minutes."
Based in Des Plaines, covering the Northwest, North & West suburbs, plus all of Chicago. If your power's out in Park Ridge or you're building new construction in Schaumburg, we're there.
