When your lights flicker at 9 PM, you’re not looking for someone to pencil you in next week. You need an electrician who picks up the phone and shows up ready to solve the problem.
That’s what you get here. Same-day response for emergencies. Transparent pricing before any work starts. And electrical repairs that actually hold up because we’re fixing the root cause, not slapping a band-aid on it.
Your home’s electrical system either works safely or it doesn’t. If you’re dealing with burning smells, outlets that spark, or breakers that keep tripping, those aren’t minor annoyances. They’re warnings. And waiting usually makes them worse and more expensive.
We’ve been the local electrical company Spencer homeowners call when something goes wrong. For 25 years, we’ve specialized in residential electrical work, which means we know how homes are wired, what fails first, and how to fix it so it lasts.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured. Every job gets done to code, with proper permits. You’re not getting corner-cutting or temporary fixes that fail in six months.
Spencer has over 5,000 households, and the average electric bill here runs about $127 a month. That’s a lot of power running through aging panels and outdated wiring. If your home was built before 2000, there’s a good chance your electrical system wasn’t designed for the load you’re putting on it today.
You call or contact us with the problem. We ask a few questions to understand what’s happening and whether it’s an emergency. If it is, we’re coming out the same day.
When we arrive, we diagnose the issue. Not just the symptom, but what’s actually causing it. Then we give you upfront pricing before we touch anything. No surprises, no “we’ll figure it out as we go.” You know the cost before work begins.
Once you approve, we fix it. That might mean replacing a faulty breaker, rewiring a circuit, upgrading your panel to handle modern electrical loads, or installing a new circuit for an EV charger. Whatever it is, we do it to code and make sure it passes inspection.
After the work’s done, we walk you through what we did and answer any questions. You’re not left guessing whether the problem’s actually solved.

Emergency electrical repairs are our specialty. Flickering lights, power outages, burning smells, sparking outlets, tripping breakers—these are the calls we handle every week. If your electrical system is acting up and you’re worried about safety, that’s what we’re here for.
Panel upgrades are a big part of what we do in Spencer. Most homes here were built when 100-amp service was standard. Now you’ve got central air, electric appliances, computers, phone chargers, and maybe an EV in the driveway. Your panel can’t keep up. Upgrading to 200-amp service means your system can handle what you’re actually using without overloading.
We also install new circuits. Adding an EV charger? That needs a dedicated 240-volt circuit. Want to finish your basement or add outlets in the garage? We run new circuits and make sure everything’s wired safely and up to code.
Service changes, rewiring, code compliance work—if it’s residential electrical, we handle it. And if you’re military, a first responder, senior, teacher, or student, we offer discounts. New customers get a break too.
Same day for true emergencies. If you’re smelling burning plastic, seeing sparks, or dealing with a complete power loss, that’s urgent. We treat it that way.
When you call with an emergency, we’re not telling you we’ll get there next Tuesday. We’re coming out that day to assess and fix the problem. Electrical emergencies don’t wait for convenient business hours, and neither do we.
What counts as an emergency? Anything that’s a fire risk or safety hazard. Flickering lights might not be urgent, but if you’re smelling smoke or a breaker keeps tripping and won’t reset, that’s a problem that needs immediate attention.
If your breakers trip regularly, your lights dim when the AC kicks on, or you’re running a home built before 2000 with a 100-amp panel, yes—you probably do.
Here’s the reality: Illinois homes use an average of 693 kWh per month. That’s a lot of demand on your electrical system. Older panels weren’t designed for today’s loads. Add in an EV charger or a few more appliances, and you’re pushing your system past its limits.
An outdated panel isn’t just inconvenient. It’s a safety issue. Overloaded circuits can overheat, damage wiring, and create fire hazards. Upgrading to a 200-amp panel gives you the capacity you actually need and brings your home up to current electrical codes.
Flickering lights usually mean one of three things: a loose bulb, a loose connection somewhere in your wiring, or an overloaded circuit. The first one you can fix yourself. The other two need an electrician.
If tightening the bulb doesn’t solve it, the problem is in your electrical system. Loose wiring connections create resistance, which generates heat. That heat can damage insulation and create fire risks. It’s not something to ignore.
Overloaded circuits flicker because they’re struggling to handle the demand. If your lights dim every time the refrigerator or AC turns on, your circuits are maxed out. That’s a sign you need either a new circuit or a panel upgrade to distribute the load properly.
It depends on what needs fixing. A simple outlet repair might run a couple hundred dollars. A full panel upgrade could be several thousand. We give you the exact price before we start any work.
Here’s what affects cost: the complexity of the job, the materials needed, how long it takes, and whether we need to bring your system up to current code. Emergency calls outside normal hours may cost more, but you’ll know that upfront.
We don’t do estimates that change once we’re halfway through the job. You get a clear price based on what actually needs to happen. If we find something else while we’re working, we stop and tell you before adding to the scope. No surprise bills.
Yes. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured. Every job we do is permitted and inspected to meet current electrical codes.
That matters more than most people realize. Unlicensed electrical work can void your homeowner’s insurance if something goes wrong. It can also create serious safety hazards if the work isn’t done correctly. And when you go to sell your home, unpermitted electrical work becomes a problem during inspection.
We pull permits, do the work to code, and make sure it passes inspection the first time. You get documentation showing the work was done legally and safely. That protects you, your home, and your investment.
Yes. EV charger installation is one of the most common requests we’re getting in Spencer right now. It requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit, and most homes need a panel upgrade to support it.
Here’s why: Level 2 EV chargers pull 30 to 50 amps. If your home has a 100-amp panel that’s already supporting your HVAC, water heater, kitchen appliances, and everything else, there’s not enough capacity left over. We upgrade your panel to 200 amps, then run a new dedicated circuit for the charger.
The whole process includes permitting, installation, and inspection. You end up with a safe, code-compliant charging setup that won’t overload your system or trip breakers every time you plug in your car.
