We Fix Real Electrical Emergencies

Complete power outages when your neighbors still have electricity. Burning odors from outlets that make you worry about fires. Circuit breakers that trip constantly and refuse to stay reset. Sparking switches that shock you. Electrical panels too hot to touch.

These aren’t minor inconveniences you can ignore until next week. They’re legitimate safety hazards that require immediate attention from electricians who know the difference between a quick patch and a permanent fix.

We’ve seen too many house fires that started with “minor” electrical problems homeowners thought they could live with for a while longer.

Expert Electrical Services FAQs

Common questions about our Expert Electrical Services services

What electrical problems require emergency service instead of waiting for regular hours?

Call immediately for burning smells from outlets or panels, visible sparks or smoke, complete power loss when neighbors have electricity, electrical panels hot to the touch, circuit breakers that repeatedly trip, electrical shocks from appliances, and flickering lights with burning odors. These indicate serious wiring problems that can cause fires if ignored. Storm damage, ice on power lines, and temperature extremes affecting your electrical system also need emergency attention. If you’re questioning whether it’s an emergency, it probably is—electrical problems escalate quickly from inconvenient to dangerous.

How fast do you respond to electrical emergencies in Cook County and Will County?

We provide 24/7 emergency service and typically arrive within 1-2 hours of your call, depending on your location and current emergency volume. Life-threatening situations like electrical fires or active sparking get priority response, often within 30-45 minutes. Our trucks stay fully stocked with common repair parts and diagnostic equipment, so we complete most emergency repairs on the first visit without return trips for materials. When you call, you’ll speak directly with our team—no answering service—and we’ll give you a realistic arrival timeframe and update you if anything changes.

Can you handle electrical emergencies in older homes with outdated systems?

Older homes are actually our specialty because they need the most urgent electrical attention. Houses built 30+ years ago weren’t designed for today’s electrical demands and commonly have outdated wiring, insufficient panels, overloaded circuits, and deteriorating connections. We have 25 years of experience with knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum wiring, and older panels that don’t meet current safety standards. These systems often cause flickering lights, frequent breaker trips, and burning smells from overheating wires. We provide immediate emergency repairs and recommend long-term solutions to prevent future problems while bringing your electrical system up to current safety codes.

What should I do immediately if I smell burning from electrical components?

Turn off power at the main breaker if you can reach it safely, then call us immediately. Don’t touch anything that feels warm or looks damaged. Try to identify if the smell comes from an outlet, switch, or electrical panel, but don’t investigate too closely. Unplug appliances near the burning smell. If you see smoke or the smell is strong, evacuate everyone and call 911 first, then us. Never assume the problem resolved itself if the smell stops—electrical issues causing burning odors typically worsen over time and can cause fires. We’ll respond immediately to locate the source and eliminate the hazard safely.

Are your emergency electricians properly licensed for Illinois electrical work?

Every electrician on our team carries full Illinois licensing, bonding, and comprehensive insurance coverage. We maintain all required state and local licenses and stay current with Illinois electrical codes through ongoing training programs. This ensures emergency repairs meet or exceed safety standards and pass required inspections. Our electricians understand Cook County and Will County code requirements specifically, so your repairs will be done correctly the first time. We provide proof of licensing and insurance upon request because we want you to feel confident that qualified professionals are handling your electrical emergency safely.

How much do emergency electrical repairs cost?

Emergency service includes a diagnostic fee that covers our 24/7 availability and rapid response, which we’ll explain when you call. After diagnosing your problem, we provide upfront pricing before starting any work—no surprises when we’re finished. Most emergency repairs like fixing tripped breakers, replacing faulty outlets, or restoring circuit power cost $150-$400. Complex issues like panel replacements or extensive rewiring cost more, but we’ll discuss all options before proceeding. We offer discounts for military, first responders, seniors, teachers, students, and new customers because we believe in supporting people who serve our community.
