You’re not looking for someone to patch things temporarily. You need your electrical issues fixed so they don’t come back next week or next month.
When your lights flicker every time you run the microwave, that’s your electrical panel telling you it can’t handle your home’s power demands anymore. When you smell something burning near an outlet, that’s not something to ignore until tomorrow. These are the problems that keep you up at night because you know they’re safety issues.
Here’s what changes after the work is done: your breakers stop tripping when you use multiple appliances. Your lights stay steady. You can plug in your phone charger without wondering if that outlet is safe. You stop worrying about whether your electrical system is putting your family at risk.
That’s what actually matters. Not the technical details of the repair, but knowing your home is safe and your electrical system works the way it should.
We’re a residential electrical company that’s been serving Aurora homeowners since 1999. Our focus is emergency electrical repairs – the urgent problems that can’t wait for a callback next week.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured, which matters more than it sounds like it does. It means when we upgrade your electrical panel or add a new circuit for your EV charger, the work passes inspection. It means you’re protected if something goes wrong.
Aurora has a mix of older homes with electrical systems that weren’t built for today’s power demands and newer construction that sometimes cuts corners. We’ve seen both. We know what fails first in homes around here, and we know how to fix it so it actually lasts.
You call us when something’s wrong – could be sparks from an outlet, could be your power going out in half the house, could be that burning smell you can’t locate. We ask you what’s happening so we know what we’re walking into.
We show up when we say we will. That sounds basic, but you’ve probably dealt with contractors who don’t, so it’s worth saying. When we get there, we figure out what’s actually causing the problem, not just what the symptom is.
Before we do any work, you get a clear price. No surprises when the job’s done. If you’re dealing with an emergency in the middle of the night, you still get upfront pricing – we don’t use urgency as an excuse to inflate costs.
Then we fix it. If your panel needs upgrading because it’s overloaded, we upgrade it. If you need a new circuit installed for an EV charger, we install it to code. If your wiring is damaged and creating a fire hazard, we replace it.
After the work’s done, your electrical system does what it’s supposed to do. You flip a switch, the lights come on. You plug something in, it works. That’s the standard.

You’re getting someone who handles the electrical problems Aurora homeowners actually face. Flickering lights when you run your dryer. Outlets that don’t work in half your kitchen. Breakers that trip constantly. Burning smells you can’t ignore.
We handle electrical panel upgrades for homes that are still running on 100-amp service when they need 200. We install new circuits for EV chargers because your garage wasn’t wired for that kind of load. We do service changes when your electrical system can’t keep up anymore.
Here’s something specific to Aurora: many homes here were built in the 70s and 80s with electrical systems designed for way less power usage than what you need now. Back then, homes didn’t have multiple computers, phone chargers in every room, electric vehicle chargers, and high-efficiency HVAC systems all running at once. Your panel wasn’t built for that load.
We also offer discounts for military, first responders, seniors, teachers, students, and new customers. That’s not marketing talk – if you qualify, you get a discount. Simple as that.
The work we do meets Aurora’s electrical codes. It passes inspection. It’s done by licensed electricians who’ve been doing this for decades, not someone who watched a YouTube video and bought a truck.
Emergency response time depends on what’s happening and when you call. If you’re seeing sparks, smelling smoke, or dealing with a complete power outage, that’s a same-day situation – often within a few hours.
If you call at 2 AM because half your house just lost power, we’re not telling you to wait until morning. Electrical emergencies don’t run on business hours, and neither do we. That said, “emergency” means safety risk or complete loss of power, not a single outlet that stopped working.
For urgent but not dangerous issues – like constant breaker tripping or flickering lights – we typically get to you within 24 hours. The key difference is whether your electrical problem is creating an immediate hazard. If it is, we treat it like one.
Panel upgrades in Aurora typically run between $1,500 and $3,000 depending on what you’re starting with and what you need. If you’re going from a 100-amp panel to 200-amp service, you’re looking at the higher end because it involves more work.
The price includes the new panel, the labor to install it properly, and making sure it passes inspection with the city. If your service entrance needs upgrading too – the main line coming into your house – that adds to the cost because it’s additional work.
Here’s why the price varies: some homes need more circuits added, some have outdated wiring that should be replaced while we’re in there, and some require trenching or other work to upgrade the service entrance. We give you the actual price upfront after we see what your home needs, not a vague estimate that changes when the work is done.
Yes, and here’s why it matters more than you might think. Aurora requires permits for most electrical work, and those permits require a licensed electrical contractor to pull them. If you hire someone without a license, the work won’t pass inspection – which means it’s not legal.
When you go to sell your home, unpermitted electrical work becomes a problem. It shows up in inspections, and buyers either walk away or demand you fix it properly before closing. You end up paying twice – once for the bad work, once to fix it right.
Beyond the legal issues, licensed electricians carry insurance that protects you if something goes wrong. Unlicensed workers don’t. If they cause damage or someone gets hurt, that’s on you. Licensed, bonded, and insured isn’t just industry jargon – it’s protection for your home and your family.
Call immediately if you smell burning near outlets or your electrical panel, see sparks or smoke, hear buzzing or sizzling sounds from switches or outlets, or notice scorch marks on outlets or switch plates. These are fire hazards.
Also call right away if your breaker panel feels hot to the touch, if you get shocked when touching appliances or switches, or if your lights dim dramatically when you use certain appliances. These indicate serious problems with your electrical system that won’t get better on their own.
Flickering lights, outlets that don’t work, and breakers that trip occasionally are problems you should get fixed soon, but they’re not middle-of-the-night emergencies unless they’re getting worse fast. The difference is whether there’s an immediate safety risk. When in doubt, call and describe what’s happening – we’ll tell you if it’s urgent or if it can wait until morning.
Your home needs a panel upgrade if your breakers trip frequently, your lights dim when you use major appliances, or you’re still running on a 100-amp service panel. Most modern homes need 200-amp service to handle today’s electrical demands safely.
Other signs include: you can’t run your air conditioning and electric dryer at the same time without tripping a breaker, you’re using extension cords because you don’t have enough outlets, or you’re planning to add an EV charger or other high-power equipment. Your current panel simply can’t handle the load.
Many Aurora homes built before 1990 have undersized panels. Back then, homes used about half the electricity they use now. If your panel is 30+ years old, it’s worth having us look at it even if you’re not having obvious problems yet. Older panels can develop issues that aren’t visible until they fail – and electrical panel failures are one of the leading causes of house fires.
Residential electrical work focuses on homes – the wiring, panels, outlets, and circuits that power your house. Commercial work involves businesses, which have different electrical codes, higher power demands, and three-phase power systems that homes don’t use.
The skills overlap, but the focus is different. As a residential electrical company, we specialize in the problems homeowners face: emergency repairs, panel upgrades, adding circuits for EV chargers, fixing flickering lights, and replacing outdated wiring. We know residential codes inside and out.
Commercial electricians deal with industrial equipment, complex lighting systems, and power demands that are completely different from what you’d find in a house. Some electrical companies do both, but we focus on residential because that’s where our 25 years of experience is. When you’re dealing with an electrical emergency in your home at midnight, you want someone who’s solved that exact problem hundreds of times before, not someone who mostly works on office buildings.
