What Emergency Electrical Service Covers

Emergency electrical service means we handle the urgent stuff that can’t wait. Power outages affecting your whole house or specific circuits. Burning smells from outlets, switches, or electrical panels. Flickering lights that could signal dangerous wiring problems.

We also handle same-day electrical upgrades that affect your daily life. Adding circuits for new EV chargers. Electrical panel upgrades when your current system can’t handle your home’s power needs. Service changes when your electrical connection needs updating.

Bolingbrook homes built in different decades have different electrical challenges. Older homes near downtown might need panel upgrades to handle modern electrical loads. Newer construction sometimes has specific circuit issues that require immediate attention. We’ve seen it all and know how to fix it right.

How quickly can you respond to electrical emergencies in Bolingbrook?

We typically arrive within 1-2 hours for true electrical emergencies during normal hours, and within 2-4 hours for after-hours calls. True emergencies include power outages, burning smells, or sparking outlets where safety is a concern. For urgent but non-dangerous issues like a single outlet not working, we usually schedule same-day service within 4-6 hours. We always ask about your specific situation to determine the right response time. Our trucks are stocked for most common emergency repairs, so we can often complete the work on the first visit rather than scheduling a return trip.

What counts as an electrical emergency that needs immediate service?

Any electrical problem that creates immediate safety risks needs emergency service. This includes burning smells from outlets or electrical panels, visible sparks, outlets or switches that are hot to the touch, or complete power loss to your home. Flickering lights throughout your house can also be an emergency, especially if they’re accompanied by dimming when appliances turn on. This often indicates problems with your electrical panel or main service connection. Partial power outages where some rooms work and others don’t usually indicate circuit problems that should be addressed the same day. We always err on the side of safety when determining response priorities.

Do you provide emergency electrical service on weekends and holidays?

Yes, electrical emergencies don’t follow business schedules, so neither do we. We provide emergency electrical service seven days a week, including evenings, weekends, and holidays. After-hours emergency calls do include additional service fees to cover the cost of having technicians available outside normal business hours. We’re upfront about these costs when you call. For non-emergency electrical work, we can often schedule weekend appointments during normal service hours to accommodate your schedule without emergency fees.

How much does emergency electrical service cost in Bolingbrook?

Emergency electrical service starts with a diagnostic fee that covers the trip charge and initial problem assessment. This fee typically ranges from $89-$149 depending on the time of day and urgency level. Once we identify the problem, we provide an upfront price for the repair work. Simple fixes like replacing a faulty outlet might cost $150-$250 total. More complex issues like circuit repairs or panel work range from $300-$800 depending on the scope. We never start work without giving you a clear price first. The diagnostic fee is applied toward your total repair cost, so you’re not paying twice for our time.

Are your emergency electricians licensed and insured for Bolingbrook work?

Yes, every electrician on our team holds proper Illinois electrical licensing and we carry full liability insurance and workers compensation coverage. We can provide proof of insurance and licensing upon request. Being licensed means we pull proper permits when required and ensure all work meets current electrical codes. This protects you from liability issues and ensures the work is done safely and correctly. Our insurance coverage protects both your property and our workers in the unlikely event something goes wrong during the repair process. This is especially important for emergency electrical work where conditions can be unpredictable.

Can you handle electrical panel upgrades as emergency service?

Electrical panel upgrades can be emergency service if your current panel is creating safety hazards or if you’ve lost power due to panel failure. We stock common residential panels and can often complete upgrades the same day for urgent situations. Most panel upgrades require permits and utility coordination, which can extend the timeline even for emergency situations. We work directly with ComEd to expedite service connections when panels need emergency replacement. If your panel is functioning but undersized for your home’s electrical needs, we can schedule non-emergency panel upgrades with proper planning and permitting. This approach often costs less than emergency panel replacement.
