How fast can you get to my Mokena home for electrical emergencies?

Electrical emergencies don’t follow business hours, so we prioritize rapid response for urgent problems in Mokena. When you’re dealing with sparks, burning smells, or complete power loss, we work to get a licensed electrician to your door as quickly as our current emergency calls allow. Response time varies based on the severity of your emergency and our current service load, but we treat all safety-related electrical issues as high priority. For immediate hazards like exposed wires or electrical fires, call 911 first, then call us to handle the electrical repairs once the immediate danger is controlled. Our service trucks stay fully stocked with common electrical parts and diagnostic equipment, so we can usually solve your electrical emergency in one visit instead of leaving you waiting for a return trip with the right parts.
Any electrical problem involving sparks, burning smells, or smoke needs immediate professional attention – these indicate potentially dangerous faults that could cause fires. If you get shocked by outlets or appliances, that’s also an emergency requiring immediate diagnosis. Circuit breakers that keep tripping, especially after you reset them, signal overloaded circuits or short circuits that need professional evaluation. One tripped breaker might be manageable temporarily, but repeated tripping means your electrical system is protecting itself from a dangerous condition. Lights that flicker throughout your home, particularly when large appliances turn on, often indicate electrical problems beyond simple bulb issues. These can mean loose connections, overloaded circuits, or voltage problems that need professional testing to prevent more serious issues.
Electrical panel upgrades are one of our core services, especially for Mokena homes built in the 1990s that now struggle with modern electrical demands. Many of these homes have 100-amp or 150-amp panels that can’t safely handle today’s electrical loads from computers, large appliances, and EV chargers. We evaluate your current electrical usage and future needs to recommend the right panel capacity. Most Mokena homeowners benefit from 200-amp panel upgrades, providing adequate power for current needs plus capacity for future additions like EV chargers or home expansions. The upgrade process involves coordinating with ComEd for temporary power disconnection, installing your new panel with modern circuit breakers, and ensuring all circuits meet current electrical codes. We handle permits and inspections, and most panel upgrades take one full day to complete safely.
Stop using that outlet immediately and turn off the circuit breaker controlling it. Don’t touch the outlet or try to unplug anything – overheating electrical components can be dangerous to handle. Burning smells usually indicate overheated wiring, loose connections, or outlets failing under electrical load. These conditions can cause electrical fires, so they need immediate professional attention. Never ignore burning electrical smells, even if they seem to disappear. Call us right away for emergency service. We’ll test the circuit, examine the wiring behind the outlet, and determine whether you need a simple outlet replacement or more extensive wiring repair. Burning smells often indicate problems extending beyond just the outlet, which is why professional diagnosis is essential for your safety.
Most EV chargers need dedicated 240-volt circuits, similar to your electric dryer or air conditioning. Electrical requirements vary by charger type – Level 1 chargers use standard 120-volt outlets, while Level 2 chargers need 240-volt circuits with 30-50 amp capacity. We evaluate your electrical panel for available space and sufficient capacity for the additional load. Many 1990s Mokena homes have 150-amp panels that may need upgrading to 200-amp panels to safely support EV chargers alongside existing electrical needs. Our evaluation covers your main electrical service, available panel space, and optimal routing for the new circuit to your garage. We handle complete EV charger installations including panel upgrades, permits, and ComEd coordination to ensure your installation meets safety codes and manufacturer specifications.
