Aurora Electrical Contractor

25 Years Fixing Aurora's Electrical Emergencies

We’ve been Aurora’s go-to electrical contractor since 1999, specializing in the electrical problems that can’t wait until Monday morning. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because electrical work isn’t something you trust to anyone who shows up with a toolbox and good intentions.

Aurora homeowners call us when their electrical panel starts making weird noises, when outlets stop working suddenly, or when they smell something burning but can’t figure out where it’s coming from. These aren’t problems you live with—they’re problems you fix immediately, before they become dangerous.

We focus on residential electrical emergencies because that’s where people need help most urgently. It’s also where our quarter-century of experience in Aurora makes the biggest difference. We know these homes, these electrical systems, and these problems inside and out.

Emergency Electrical Repair Process

From Emergency Call to Problem Solved

You call us with your electrical emergency, and we dispatch a licensed electrician to your Aurora home quickly. No waiting around wondering when someone might show up or whether they’ll actually know what they’re doing.

Our electrician diagnoses the problem thoroughly—not just the obvious symptom you can see, but the underlying cause that’s creating the danger. We explain what’s wrong in plain English, what it’ll take to fix it properly, and what it’ll cost before we touch anything.

Then we fix it right. We don’t patch problems or use shortcuts that’ll cause bigger issues down the road. When we leave your home, your electrical system works safely and reliably, and you understand exactly what we did and why we did it that way.

Residential Electrical Services Aurora

Complete Emergency Electrical Solutions

We handle the electrical emergencies that Aurora homeowners face most often: flickering lights that signal dangerous wiring problems, circuit breakers that trip constantly, burning smells from electrical panels, and complete power outages that leave you scrambling for flashlights.

Our residential electrical services include electrical panel upgrades for Aurora homes that can’t handle modern electrical demands, new circuits for EV chargers, and complete service changes when your electrical system needs a total overhaul. We also handle the smaller emergencies that feel just as urgent—outlets that stop working, switches that spark, and any electrical problem that makes you worry about your family’s safety.

Aurora’s older homes often have electrical systems that weren’t designed for today’s electrical loads. Many homes in neighborhoods like Blackberry Creek, Fox Valley, and downtown Aurora have electrical panels from the 1970s and 80s trying to power modern appliances, home offices, and entertainment systems. We know these systems intimately, which means we can diagnose problems faster and fix them more completely than contractors who don’t specialize in emergency residential electrical work.

How quickly can you respond to electrical emergencies in Aurora?

We prioritize emergency calls and work to get a licensed electrician to your Aurora home as quickly as possible, typically within an hour during business hours. For true emergencies involving burning smells, sparking, or complete power loss, we move even faster. Our 25 years serving Aurora, Naperville, Oswego, and the surrounding Fox Valley area means we know the neighborhoods well and can navigate to your home efficiently. We keep our service trucks fully stocked with common repair parts and electrical components, so we can often complete emergency repairs in one visit rather than having to come back with materials. Emergency electrical problems don’t follow business hours, which is why we maintain the capacity to respond quickly when Aurora homeowners need help most urgently. We understand that electrical emergencies create stress and safety concerns, and our goal is to resolve both as fast as possible.

What electrical emergencies do you handle most often in Aurora?

The most common emergency calls we get in Aurora involve flickering lights that indicate dangerous wiring problems, electrical panels that make burning smells or unusual noises, circuit breakers that trip repeatedly, and complete power outages affecting part or all of the home. We also handle a lot of outlet and switch emergencies—outlets that stop working suddenly, GFCI outlets in bathrooms and kitchens that won’t reset, and switches that spark when you flip them. These might seem minor, but they often signal more serious underlying electrical issues that need immediate attention to prevent fires or electrocution. Panel upgrades are another frequent emergency, especially in Aurora’s older neighborhoods where electrical systems can’t safely handle modern appliances and electronics. When your electrical system is overloaded, it becomes a fire hazard that we need to address immediately. We also get calls for EV charger installations when homeowners realize their current electrical setup can’t support the additional load.

Do you offer any discounts for Aurora electrical services?

Yes, we offer discounts for military personnel, first responders, seniors, teachers, students, and new customers. We believe the people who serve our Aurora community deserve recognition, and we’re proud to offer these discounts as our way of saying thank you. These discounts apply to our emergency electrical services as well as scheduled electrical work like panel upgrades, circuit installations, and electrical repairs. Just mention your eligibility when you call, and we’ll make sure you receive the appropriate discount on your electrical service. Our pricing is straightforward and competitive to begin with, and these discounts make our professional electrical services even more accessible to Aurora families who need reliable electrical repair work. We believe everyone deserves safe, properly functioning electrical systems regardless of their budget constraints.

Are you licensed and insured to work in Aurora, Illinois?

Absolutely. We are fully licensed, bonded, and insured to perform electrical work in Aurora and throughout Illinois. Electrical work is inherently dangerous and requires proper licensing to ensure it’s done safely and up to current electrical codes. Our licensing means we stay current on National Electrical Code requirements and local Aurora electrical regulations, and our insurance protects both our technicians and your property during electrical work. This isn’t just paperwork—it’s your assurance that we’re qualified to handle electrical emergencies safely and professionally. We’re happy to provide proof of licensing and insurance before beginning any work. When you’re dealing with an electrical emergency, you need to know the person fixing it has the proper credentials, training, and legal authority to do the work right. Too many homeowners have been burned by unlicensed contractors who create more problems than they solve.

What makes your electrical service different from other Aurora contractors?

We specialize specifically in emergency electrical repairs, which means we’ve built our entire business around responding quickly to urgent electrical problems. While other contractors handle electrical work as part of a broader service offering, emergency electrical repair is what we do best and most often. Our 25 years of experience in Aurora means we understand the specific electrical challenges that local homes face, especially older homes with electrical systems that weren’t designed for modern electrical demands. We can diagnose problems faster because we’ve seen similar issues hundreds of times in Aurora neighborhoods. We also focus primarily on residential customers rather than splitting our attention between residential and commercial work. This specialization means we understand what Aurora homeowners need when they’re dealing with electrical emergencies, and we’ve structured our service delivery to provide exactly that—quick response, clear communication, and permanent solutions.

Can you handle electrical panel upgrades and EV charger installations?

Yes, electrical panel upgrades and EV charger installations are core services we provide to Aurora homeowners. Many homes need panel upgrades to safely handle modern electrical loads, and EV chargers typically require dedicated 240-volt circuits that older electrical systems can’t support. We handle the entire process from assessing your current electrical system to installing the new panel or EV charging circuit. This includes pulling the necessary permits with the City of Aurora, coordinating with ComEd when required, and ensuring all work meets current National Electrical Code standards and local regulations. Panel upgrades and EV charger installations aren’t typically emergency services, but they often become urgent when homeowners realize their electrical system can’t safely handle their current needs. We can schedule this work quickly and complete it efficiently, usually within a day or two, minimizing disruption to your daily routine while ensuring your electrical system can handle whatever you need it to power.
