What qualifies as an electrical emergency in Evergreen Park?

Any electrical situation that poses immediate safety risks or leaves you without essential power qualifies as an emergency. This includes complete power loss, burning smells from electrical components, sparks from outlets or switches, breakers that won’t stay reset, and any situation where you suspect electrical fire risk.Flickering lights throughout your home, especially when paired with other symptoms, often indicate serious wiring problems that need immediate attention. Hot outlets, switches that shock you, or electrical panels making buzzing or crackling sounds are all emergency situations that require professional diagnosis right away.
We prioritize emergency calls and typically respond within hours, not days. Our response time depends on the severity of your situation and our current emergency call volume, but we understand that electrical emergencies can’t wait until it’s convenient.When you call with an emergency, we’ll give you an estimated arrival time and keep you updated if anything changes. For situations involving immediate safety risks like electrical fires or complete power loss, we expedite our response. We also provide guidance over the phone about what to do (and what not to do) while you’re waiting for our electrician to arrive.
Emergency electrical work does carry additional costs compared to scheduled service calls, which reflects the immediate response and after-hours availability. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work so you know exactly what you’re paying for.Our emergency service fee covers the immediate response, diagnostic work, and the first hour of labor. Any additional work needed gets quoted separately, and we never start additional work without your approval. We also offer discounts for military members, first responders, seniors, teachers, and students, even on emergency calls.
Yes, we can handle electrical panel upgrades when they’re needed as part of emergency service. If your electrical panel is the source of your emergency – whether it’s failing breakers, insufficient capacity, or safety hazards – we can often complete the upgrade the same day.Panel upgrades during emergencies typically happen when the existing panel poses immediate safety risks or when it’s clear that temporary repairs won’t solve the underlying problem. We carry common panel types and components on our service trucks, which allows us to complete many panel upgrades without scheduling a return visit.We’ll always explain whether a panel upgrade is truly necessary for your immediate safety or if it’s something that can be scheduled for later as a planned upgrade.
First, ensure your family’s safety by staying away from any electrical components that are sparking, smoking, or making unusual sounds. If you smell burning electrical components, locate your main electrical panel and shut off power to that area if you can do so safely.Don’t attempt to reset breakers that keep tripping, especially if you don’t know what’s causing the problem. Avoid using electrical appliances or outlets in areas where you’ve noticed problems. If you have a complete power outage, use flashlights instead of candles to reduce fire risk.We’ll provide specific safety guidance when you call based on your particular situation. In some cases, we might recommend calling the fire department if there are immediate fire risks or evacuating temporarily until we can assess the situation.
