How quickly can you respond to electrical emergencies in Chicago Ridge?

We prioritize emergency calls and typically respond within hours, not days.

Our response time depends on the severity of the emergency and our current service calls, but we’ve been serving Chicago Ridge for 25 years and we know the area well. Most emergency repairs can be completed the same day we arrive. If we can’t fix the problem immediately, we’ll make your home safe and schedule a follow-up visit to complete the repair properly.
Call us immediately if you notice sparking from outlets or switches, burning smells from electrical components, outlets or switch plates that feel hot to the touch, or frequent circuit breaker tripping. These are signs of dangerous electrical problems that could cause fires. Complete power outages, especially during extreme weather, also qualify as emergencies. If your main electrical panel is making buzzing or crackling sounds, that’s another sign you need immediate professional help. Flickering lights throughout your home, not just one room, can indicate serious wiring problems. When in doubt, it’s better to call and have us assess the situation than to ignore potential safety hazards.

If you’re experiencing electrical emergencies, your safety comes first. Turn off power to the affected area at your circuit breaker if you can do so safely.

Don’t use water near electrical problems, and avoid touching anything electrical with wet hands. Keep flashlights handy instead of candles, which pose fire risks. If your power is completely out, unplug major appliances to prevent damage from power surges when electricity is restored. Stay away from downed power lines and report them to your utility company immediately.
