How We Handle Your Electrical Emergency

When you call, we ask the right questions to understand what’s happening with your electrical system. Is it an emergency situation like burning smells or complete power loss? Or is it something that can wait until regular business hours?

We arrive with the tools and parts needed for most common electrical problems. Our electrician diagnoses the issue, explains what’s wrong in plain English, and gives you a clear price before starting any work.

Once you approve the work, we fix the problem properly and test everything to make sure it’s working safely. We clean up after ourselves and make sure you understand what we did and how to prevent similar issues in the future.

What's Included in Our Electrical Services

Our electrical contracting services cover everything from emergency repairs to planned upgrades. We handle flickering lights, power outages, burning electrical smells, and panel upgrades that bring your home’s electrical system up to current safety standards.

Many homes in Andres were built when electrical demands were much lower. Today’s families need circuits for EV chargers, home offices, and modern appliances that older electrical systems simply can’t handle safely. We add new circuits and upgrade service panels to meet these modern needs.

Every job includes a thorough inspection to identify other potential problems before they become emergencies. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured, so you’re protected if anything goes wrong. And we guarantee our work because we want you to call us first when you need electrical help.

How quickly can you respond to electrical emergencies in Andres?

We prioritize emergency calls based on safety risk. If you’re dealing with burning smells, sparking outlets, or complete power loss, we treat that as an immediate safety issue and respond as quickly as possible. For less urgent problems like a single outlet not working or lights that flicker occasionally, we can usually schedule you within 24-48 hours. We’ll ask specific questions when you call to determine the urgency level and give you a realistic timeframe. Emergency electrical problems don’t wait for convenient times, so we maintain the equipment and parts inventory needed to handle most common residential electrical issues without delays.

What makes your electrical contracting different from other electricians?

We focus specifically on residential electrical work, not commercial or industrial projects. That specialization means we understand exactly what homeowners deal with and we’re equipped to handle residential electrical problems efficiently. After 25 years in business, we’ve seen every type of electrical issue that affects Andres homes. We know which problems are actually dangerous and which ones just seem scary. We explain what’s happening in plain English so you can make informed decisions. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured, which protects you if anything goes wrong. We also offer discounts for military, first responders, seniors, teachers, and students because we believe in supporting our community.

Do you provide free estimates for electrical work?

We provide upfront pricing before starting any work. For emergency calls, there’s typically a service call fee to diagnose the problem, but that fee is applied toward the repair cost if you choose to have us do the work. For planned projects like panel upgrades or adding new circuits, we can often provide estimates over the phone if you can describe what you need. For more complex work, we’ll need to see your electrical system in person to give you accurate pricing. We believe in transparent pricing with no surprise charges. You’ll know exactly what the work will cost before we start, and we’ll explain why certain repairs or upgrades are necessary for your safety.

Can you upgrade older electrical panels to handle modern appliances?

Yes, panel upgrades are one of our specialties. Many homes in Andres have electrical panels that were installed decades ago when electrical demands were much lower. These older panels often can’t safely handle modern appliances, home offices, and devices like EV chargers. We evaluate your current electrical system and recommend the right size panel for your home’s actual electrical needs. This isn’t just about having enough circuits – it’s about having the right safety features and capacity to prevent electrical fires and power problems. A proper panel upgrade includes updating the main electrical service if needed, installing new circuit breakers with modern safety features, and ensuring everything meets current electrical codes. We handle all the permits and inspections required for this type of work.

What should I do if I smell something burning from my electrical system?

Turn off the power at your main electrical panel immediately and call us right away. Burning electrical smells usually indicate overheated wiring, which can cause electrical fires if not addressed quickly. Don’t try to locate the source of the smell yourself – electrical fires can start inside walls where you can’t see them. Once you’ve shut off the main power, stay away from the area until we can inspect your electrical system safely. We treat burning electrical smells as emergency calls because they represent a serious safety risk. We’ll respond quickly to diagnose the problem and make the necessary repairs to eliminate the fire hazard and restore safe electrical service to your home.

Do you install EV charger circuits and electrical upgrades?

Yes, we install the electrical circuits and upgrades needed for EV chargers. Most homes need a dedicated 240-volt circuit for Level 2 EV charging, which requires adding new wiring from your electrical panel to the charging location. We evaluate your current electrical system to make sure it can handle the additional load from EV charging. Some homes need panel upgrades or service increases before we can safely add EV charger circuits. We handle the entire electrical installation including permits, inspections, and coordination with your chosen EV charger installer. The goal is to give you safe, reliable charging at home without overloading your electrical system or creating safety hazards.
