Hear from Our Customers
You flip a switch and nothing happens. Or worse—you smell something burning near an outlet. These aren’t problems you can ignore until Monday, and they’re not things you want to trust to someone who learned electrical work from YouTube.
When your electrical system fails, you need someone who shows up fast, knows what they’re doing, and fixes it right the first time. That’s what we do.
We handle the flickering lights that won’t stop, the breakers that keep tripping, the panels that can’t support your new EV charger, and the burning smells that make your stomach drop. You call, we respond, and we solve the problem so you can stop worrying about whether your house is safe.
No guesswork. No return trips. Just licensed, bonded, insured electrical work that passes inspection and keeps your home running the way it should.
We’ve been the local electrical company Custer Park homeowners call when something goes wrong—and we’ve been doing it for a quarter century. That’s 25 years of emergency repairs, panel upgrades, circuit additions, and late-night calls from families who need help now.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured for residential and commercial electrical work throughout Illinois. Our focus is residential service, especially the urgent stuff—power outages, electrical failures, safety hazards that can’t wait.
We also offer discounts for military, first responders, seniors, teachers, students, and new customers. Not because it’s good marketing, but because Custer Park is our community, and we take care of the people who take care of everyone else.
First, you call or reach out online. If it’s an emergency—burning smells, complete power loss, sparking outlets—we prioritize your call and typically respond within a few hours. For true emergencies, we’ve been known to arrive within an hour.
When we show up, we assess the problem, explain what’s wrong in plain language, and give you transparent pricing before we start any work. No hidden costs. No surprises on the invoice.
Then we fix it. We pull permits when needed, follow code, and make sure the work passes inspection the first time. Whether it’s rewiring a circuit, upgrading your panel to handle modern electrical loads, or installing a Level 2 EV charger, we do it right.
After the job’s done, you get warranty coverage on the work. If something goes wrong related to what we fixed, we come back and make it right. That’s how we’ve stayed in business for 25 years—by standing behind what we do.
Ready to get started?
You get a licensed electrician who knows residential electrical systems inside and out. Someone who’s handled thousands of service calls and seen every kind of electrical problem a home can throw at them.
You get code-compliant work that passes inspection. In Illinois, electrical work needs to meet state and local codes—and we make sure it does. That protects your home’s value, keeps your insurance valid, and most importantly, keeps your family safe.
You get emergency availability when you need it most. Electrical problems don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. We’re available 24/7 for true emergencies because we know what it’s like to lose power at 9 PM on a Sunday with a freezer full of food.
And you get specialized services that matter to Custer Park homeowners right now. EV charger installations are becoming more common as residents switch to electric vehicles, and most older homes need panel upgrades to handle the load. We evaluate your existing electrical system, recommend what you actually need (not what makes us the most money), and install it correctly so you’re not dealing with tripped breakers every time you plug in your car.
For true emergencies—burning smells, sparking outlets, complete power loss, or any situation where you feel unsafe—we prioritize your call and typically respond within 2-4 hours. In many cases, we’ve arrived within an hour.
We cover all of Custer Park and the immediate area with emergency response because we know electrical problems don’t wait. If you’re experiencing something that feels dangerous, call us immediately and we’ll get someone to your home as fast as possible.
For non-emergency work like panel upgrades, circuit additions, or EV charger installations, we’ll schedule a time that works for you, usually within a few days. But if it’s urgent, we treat it that way.
If your breakers trip frequently, your lights dim when you run major appliances, or you’re adding high-draw equipment like an EV charger or central air conditioning, you probably do.
Most older homes in Custer Park were built with electrical systems that met code decades ago but can’t handle modern electrical demands. Back then, homes didn’t have multiple computers, large refrigerators, EV chargers, and all the other equipment we use today. The electrical panel is the heart of your home’s electrical system, and if it’s undersized or outdated, you’re asking it to do more than it was designed for.
We’ll evaluate your current panel, look at your actual electrical usage, and tell you honestly whether an upgrade makes sense. Sometimes you just need a circuit added. Other times, a full panel upgrade is the right move—and we’ll explain why so you can make an informed decision.
First, we evaluate your existing electrical panel to see if it can handle the additional load. Level 2 EV chargers—the kind most people install at home—draw significant power, usually 30-50 amps depending on the model.
If your panel has capacity, we’ll install a dedicated circuit for the charger, mount the charging station where you want it (usually in your garage or near your driveway), and make sure everything’s wired correctly and safely. If your panel doesn’t have capacity, we’ll talk through your options, which might include a panel upgrade.
We work with all major EV charger brands and handle the permitting and inspection process. The whole job usually takes a day, sometimes less, and when we’re done, you’ll be able to charge your vehicle at home without worrying about overloading your electrical system or tripping breakers every time you plug in.
Yes. We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured for both residential and commercial electrical work throughout Illinois, including Custer Park.
That licensing means we’ve met the state’s requirements for electrical contractors, we follow current electrical codes, and we’re legally authorized to pull permits and perform electrical work. The bonding and insurance protect you—if something goes wrong, you’re covered, and so are our workers.
When we do work that requires a permit, we pull it, and we make sure the work passes inspection the first time. That’s not just about following the law—it’s about protecting your home’s value and making sure the electrical work is safe. A lot of homeowners don’t realize that unpermitted electrical work can cause problems when you sell your home or file an insurance claim, so we do it right from the start.
Stop using that outlet immediately and call us right away. Burning smells near electrical outlets or switches are serious warning signs that something’s wrong—loose wiring, overloaded circuits, or failing components can all cause burning smells, and they can all lead to electrical fires.
Don’t plug anything else into that outlet, and if you can safely access your electrical panel, consider turning off the breaker for that circuit until we can get there. If the smell is strong or you see smoke, get everyone out of the house and call 911 first, then call us.
We treat these situations as emergencies because they are. Electrical fires cause over a billion dollars in property damage every year, and many of them start with warning signs that get ignored. You did the right thing by noticing the smell—now let us figure out what’s causing it and fix it before it becomes a bigger problem.
We offer discounts for military members, first responders, seniors, teachers, students, and new customers. These aren’t occasional promotions—they’re ongoing programs because we believe in supporting the people who serve our community.
When you call to schedule service, just mention that you qualify for one of these discounts and we’ll apply it to your invoice. We don’t make you jump through hoops or fill out paperwork—if you’re eligible, you get the discount.
We’ve been part of the Custer Park community for 25 years, and these discount programs are one way we give back to the people who make this area what it is. Whether you’re a teacher shaping the next generation or a senior who’s been here longer than we have, we appreciate you, and we want to make reliable electrical service a little more affordable.
