How quickly can you respond to electrical emergencies in Stickney?

We prioritize emergency calls and typically respond within hours, not days. When you’re dealing with power outages, burning smells, or other dangerous electrical situations, time matters. Our emergency response focuses on making your home safe first, then diagnosing and fixing the underlying problem. We carry common repair parts and components in our service vehicles, so most emergency repairs can be completed on the first visit. For non-emergency electrical work like panel upgrades or adding new circuits, we usually schedule within a few days of your call.
Many Stickney homes have electrical panels that are 20-30 years old or older. These panels often can’t handle modern electrical loads, leading to frequent circuit breaker trips when you run multiple appliances. We also see a lot of flickering lights caused by loose connections, outlets that don’t work reliably, and homes that need additional circuits for EV chargers or home office setups. Older homes sometimes have aluminum wiring that needs attention for safety reasons. Storm damage is another common issue. When high winds or ice storms hit Cook County, we get calls about power lines down or electrical damage from falling tree branches.
Yes, we always explain what needs to be done and provide clear pricing before we start any work. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for and why the repair or upgrade is necessary. For emergency situations where safety is the immediate concern, we’ll stabilize the problem first, then give you a detailed estimate for the permanent repair. We never surprise customers with unexpected charges. Our pricing includes the cost of materials, labor, and our guarantee on the work. We also let you know about any available discounts you might qualify for as a military member, senior, teacher, or first responder.
Yes, we’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured to perform electrical work throughout Cook County, including Stickney. All our electricians hold current Illinois electrical licenses. Our insurance protects both your property and our workers in the unlikely event something goes wrong. We can provide proof of licensing and insurance before starting any project if you’d like to see our credentials. We also pull the necessary permits for electrical work that requires them and schedule inspections to ensure everything meets current electrical codes. This protects you and ensures your electrical system is safe and up to standard.
Panel upgrades are one of our specialties. Many Stickney homes still have 100-amp electrical panels that can’t handle modern electrical demands, especially if you’re adding an EV charger or major appliances. We typically recommend 200-amp panels for most homes. This provides enough capacity for current needs plus room for future electrical additions. The upgrade process usually takes 4-6 hours and requires a brief power outage while we make the final connections. We coordinate with ComEd for any utility work that’s needed and handle all the permit and inspection requirements. Most panel upgrades qualify for utility rebates, and we’ll help you apply for any available incentives.
Turn off power to that area immediately at your circuit breaker panel, then call us right away. Burning smells around electrical outlets can indicate dangerous conditions that could lead to electrical fires. Don’t use that outlet or circuit until we’ve inspected it. Sometimes the problem is a loose connection that’s creating heat and sparks. Other times it might be damaged wiring inside the wall that needs immediate attention. We treat burning electrical smells as emergency calls because they represent potential fire hazards. We’ll respond quickly to diagnose the problem and make your home safe. These situations are exactly why we’ve specialized in emergency electrical repairs for 25 years.
