How quickly can you get to my Oak Brook home for an electrical emergency?

We dispatch electricians to Oak Brook homes within 30-60 minutes for true emergencies like burning smells, power outages, or sparking outlets. Our trucks are strategically located to serve Oak Brook and surrounding DuPage County areas quickly. For urgent but non-emergency issues like flickering lights or outlets that stopped working, we typically arrive within 2-4 hours during business hours. We understand that electrical problems disrupt your daily routine, so we prioritize getting to you as fast as safely possible.
Call us immediately if you smell burning from electrical panels, outlets, or switches – this indicates dangerous overheating. Sparking outlets, exposed wires, or electrical panels that are hot to the touch also require emergency response. Complete power outages that affect only your home, repeatedly tripping circuit breakers, and lights that flicker constantly throughout your house are urgent issues that need same-day attention. These problems often indicate serious wiring issues that can become fire hazards if left unaddressed.
We charge a standard emergency service call fee for after-hours, weekend, and holiday calls. However, we provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. Our emergency rates are competitive with other licensed electricians in the Oak Brook area, and we offer discounts for military members, seniors, teachers, and first responders. We believe transparent pricing is especially important during stressful emergency situations.
Yes, if your electrical emergency is caused by an overloaded or outdated panel, we can often complete the upgrade the same day. Many Oak Brook homes built before 1990 have panels that can’t safely handle modern electrical demands. We carry common panel components on our trucks and can typically upgrade from older breaker panels to modern 200-amp systems. For more complex upgrades requiring permits or utility coordination, we’ll make your system safe immediately and schedule the full upgrade within 24-48 hours.
All our electricians are fully licensed by the State of Illinois and carry current electrical contractor licenses. We’re also bonded and insured with comprehensive liability coverage that protects your Oak Brook home during service calls. We provide proof of licensing and insurance upon request, and our work comes with warranties on both parts and labor. This licensing ensures we’re qualified to handle complex emergency electrical repairs safely and up to current Illinois electrical codes.
If you smell burning or see sparks, turn off power to that area at your electrical panel if you can do so safely. Don’t touch any exposed wires or electrical components that appear damaged. For power outages, check if your neighbors have power to determine if it’s a utility issue or specific to your home. Avoid using candles for lighting – use flashlights instead. If you’re unsure about safety, evacuate the area and wait for our electrician to arrive and assess the situation properly.
