How quickly can an emergency electrician get to my Hastings home?

We provide 24-hour emergency electrical services throughout Hastings, and our response time depends on your specific situation and our current call volume. For true emergencies—like electrical fires, burning smells, or complete power loss—we prioritize these calls and typically arrive within 1-2 hours.For urgent but non-life-threatening issues like a tripped breaker or partial power loss, we usually get there the same day. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when you call, and we’ll update you if anything changes.Remember, if you smell burning or see sparks, turn off power at the main breaker if it’s safe to do so, and call us immediately. Safety always comes first.

What should I do if I smell burning from my electrical system?

A burning smell from your electrical system is a serious emergency that requires immediate attention. First, try to locate the source of the smell—is it coming from an outlet, switch, or your electrical panel? Don’t touch anything that feels warm or looks damaged.If you can safely access your main electrical panel, turn off the power to the affected area or your entire home. Unplug any appliances near the burning smell. If the smell is strong or you see smoke, evacuate your home and call 911 first, then call us.Even if the smell stops, don’t assume the problem is gone. Electrical issues that cause burning smells often get worse over time and can lead to fires. We’ll come out immediately to find the source and fix it safely.

How much does emergency electrical service cost in Hastings?

Emergency electrical service costs depend on what needs to be fixed and when you need it done. We charge a diagnostic fee to come out and identify the problem, which gets applied to your repair cost if you hire us for the work.Most emergency repairs—like fixing a tripped breaker, replacing a faulty outlet, or restoring power to a circuit—cost between $150-$400. More complex issues like panel problems or extensive wiring repairs cost more, but we’ll give you a clear price before we start.We offer discounts for military personnel, seniors, teachers, first responders, and students. Night and weekend emergency calls may include an additional service fee, but we’ll explain all costs upfront so there are no surprises.

Can you install an EV charger as an emergency service?

Yes, we can install EV chargers as an urgent service, especially if you need your vehicle charged for work or essential travel. Most EV charger installations require adding a new 240-volt circuit, which we can typically complete in a few hours.We’ll assess your electrical panel first to make sure it can handle the additional load. If your panel needs upgrading, we can make that happen too, though it might take longer than a simple charger installation.For Hastings homeowners, we often install Level 2 chargers that work with your home’s electrical system. We’ll help you choose the right charger for your vehicle and electrical setup, and we’ll handle all the permits and inspections required by local codes.

Do you work on older homes in Hastings?

Absolutely. Many Hastings homes were built decades ago with electrical systems that weren’t designed for today’s power needs. We’ve worked on electrical systems from every era, and we understand the unique challenges older homes present.Older homes often have outdated wiring, insufficient circuits, or electrical panels that can’t handle modern appliances. We can upgrade these systems safely while preserving the character of your home. Whether it’s replacing old cloth wiring or upgrading a fuse box to circuit breakers, we know what needs to be done.We also understand that older homes sometimes have electrical problems that seem to come out of nowhere. Connections loosen over time, insulation deteriorates, and systems that worked fine for years suddenly don’t. That’s exactly the kind of emergency we’re equipped to handle.
