What constitutes an electrical emergency that requires immediate attention?

An electrical emergency is any situation where your electrical system poses an immediate safety risk. This includes power outages affecting only your home, burning smells from outlets or electrical panels, sparks from switches or outlets, flickering lights throughout your home, and circuit breakers that repeatedly trip.If you’re experiencing any of these issues, turn off power to the affected area if you can do so safely, and call us immediately. Don’t try to fix electrical problems yourself—electricity can cause fires, electrocution, or property damage when handled incorrectly.Other signs that require urgent attention include warm or hot outlets, buzzing sounds from electrical panels, and lights that dim when you turn on appliances. These symptoms often indicate underlying wiring problems that can escalate quickly into dangerous situations.
We prioritize electrical emergencies and work to respond as quickly as possible, typically within a few hours during business hours.

These upgrades require coordination with ComEd and proper permitting, which we handle for you.Panel upgrades aren’t just about capacity.
