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 morning.
When your electrical system acts up, you need someone who answers the phone and shows up ready to fix it. Not someone who schedules you out three weeks or talks over your head with technical jargon you don’t need.
You get upfront pricing before any work starts. You get a licensed electrician who’s been doing this for 25 years in Morgan Park, IL. And you get your power back without the runaround.
Jimco Electric has been the local electrical company Morgan Park homeowners call when something goes wrong. For 25 years, we’ve handled the urgent stuff—panel upgrades, circuit repairs, power outages, and those weird electrical smells that make you nervous.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured, which means you’re covered if anything goes sideways. We also offer discounts for military, first responders, seniors, teachers, and students because those are the people who keep Morgan Park running.
You’re not getting a national chain that sends whoever’s available. You’re getting electricians who know the older homes in this area, the common panel issues, and how to get your power back on fast.
You call or text, and we pick up. No phone tree. You explain what’s going on—flickering lights, a tripped breaker that won’t reset, a burning smell—and we schedule you in, often same-day if it’s urgent.
When we arrive, we diagnose the problem first. Then we give you the price before we touch anything. No surprises, no upselling you on stuff you don’t need.
Once you approve, we fix it. We test everything to make sure it’s working right. Then we clean up and walk you through what we did. If you need a permit or inspection, we handle that too. You shouldn’t have to chase down paperwork after paying for electrical work.

You get a licensed electrical contractor who shows up when we say we will. We handle emergency repairs like power outages, circuit issues, and panel problems that can’t wait. We also install EV chargers if you’re making the switch to electric vehicles.
Morgan Park has a mix of older homes and updated properties, which means electrical systems vary widely. Some homes still have outdated panels that can’t handle modern electrical loads. Others just need a circuit added for a new appliance or home office setup. We’ve seen it all here.
We’re also available 24/7 for emergencies. If your power goes out at 2 a.m. or you smell burning plastic near a breaker, you can reach us. Electrical fires cause over 31,000 home fires every year in the U.S., and many start with warning signs people ignore. We’d rather you call us too early than too late.
If you’re dealing with an emergency—power outage, burning smell, sparking outlet—we prioritize you. Most of the time, we can get to your home in Morgan Park, IL the same day you call, often within a few hours depending on our schedule.
Electrical emergencies don’t wait, and neither should you. If it’s after hours, we still answer. We’ve been doing this for 25 years, and we know that when your power goes out or something smells like it’s burning, you need help now, not next Tuesday.
When you call, we’ll ask a few questions to understand what’s happening. That helps us bring the right equipment and plan the fastest fix. If it’s truly dangerous—like exposed wires or active sparking—we’ll walk you through staying safe until we arrive.
It depends on what’s wrong. A simple circuit repair costs less than a full panel upgrade. But here’s what you won’t get from us: surprise charges after the work is done.
We give you the price upfront, before we start. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for the labor, materials, and any permits if needed. If we find something else wrong while we’re diagnosing, we’ll tell you about it and give you a separate price for that work. You decide what gets fixed.
For reference, panel upgrades in older Morgan Park homes typically run higher because the work is more involved and requires permits. Adding a circuit for an EV charger or fixing a tripped breaker is usually more straightforward. We’ll walk you through the cost and why it’s priced that way, so you’re never guessing.
If you’re changing a light bulb, go for it. If you’re dealing with anything inside your electrical panel, behind your walls, or involving your home’s wiring, call a licensed electrician.
Electricity kills over 400 people a year in the U.S. from home accidents, and many of those involve DIY electrical work. Even if you don’t get hurt, improper electrical work can cause fires, fail inspections, or make your home harder to sell later.
We’re licensed, which means our work meets Illinois electrical codes. If you ever need to sell your home or file an insurance claim, that matters. Plus, we’re insured, so if something does go wrong, you’re covered. When you do it yourself, you’re on your own if things go sideways.
A breaker trips when it detects too much current running through a circuit. That’s actually the breaker doing its job—it’s protecting your home from overheating and catching fire.
If it happens once and you can reset it without issue, you probably just overloaded that circuit. Maybe you ran the microwave, toaster, and coffee maker at the same time. But if the breaker keeps tripping, or if it won’t reset at all, that’s a real problem. It could mean a short circuit, a ground fault, or a failing breaker.
In older Morgan Park homes, we see outdated panels that can’t handle modern electrical demands. You might need a panel upgrade or additional circuits to spread the load. Don’t keep resetting a breaker that won’t stay on—that’s a fire hazard. Call us and we’ll figure out what’s actually going on.
Yes. We install Level 2 EV chargers, which are the most common for home use. These chargers are faster than a standard outlet and can fully charge most electric vehicles overnight.
The installation process involves adding a dedicated 240-volt circuit to your electrical panel, mounting the charger in your garage or outside, and making sure everything is up to code. If your panel doesn’t have enough capacity, we’ll let you know upfront and explain your options—sometimes that means a panel upgrade first.
Morgan Park homeowners are starting to make the switch to electric vehicles, and your electrical system needs to keep up. We’ll assess your current setup, walk you through what’s required, and give you a clear price before we start. Most installations take a few hours once we have the right equipment and permits lined up.
Turn off the breaker for that area if you can do it safely, and call us immediately. A burning smell near electrical components means something is overheating, and that can lead to a fire.
Don’t ignore it or assume it’ll go away. Electrical fires are responsible for over 31,000 home fires every year in the U.S., and many of them start with warning signs like burning smells, discolored outlets, or buzzing sounds.
If you see smoke or flames, get out of the house and call 911 first. Once it’s safe, call us. We’ll inspect the wiring, outlets, and breaker panel to find the source of the problem and fix it before it gets worse. This is exactly the kind of emergency we handle 24/7 in Morgan Park, IL.
