Fast emergency electrician response for flickering lights, burning smells, and power outages that can’t wait until morning.
Hear from Our Customers
That burning smell from your outlet isn’t something you ignore until tomorrow. Neither is the power that just went out in half your house, or the lights that won’t stop flickering every time you turn on the microwave.
When electrical problems hit your Oak Lawn home, they don’t care if it’s 2 AM on a Sunday or the middle of a holiday dinner. You need an emergency electrician who understands that electrical emergencies are exactly that—emergencies.
We get your power restored quickly and safely. No more wondering if that strange smell means your house is about to catch fire. No more fumbling around in the dark hoping the problem fixes itself. Just fast, professional electrical repair that gets your home back to normal.
Jimco Electric has been Oak Lawn’s trusted emergency electrician for over two decades. We’re not the company you call for basic maintenance—we’re the electricians you call when something’s seriously wrong and needs to be fixed now.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because electrical work isn’t something you take chances with. Most of Oak Lawn’s homes were built in the 1960s, which means older electrical systems that can develop problems without warning. We’ve seen it all, from overloaded panels in ranch homes near the Metra station to faulty wiring in the vintage houses along 95th Street.
Our focus is residential emergency repairs. While other companies spread themselves thin across every type of electrical work, we specialize in the urgent stuff that keeps Oak Lawn families safe.
When you call us with an electrical emergency, we don’t put you on hold or schedule you for next week. We respond the same day, often within hours.
First, we listen to what’s happening. Flickering lights, burning smells, sparking outlets—we need to know exactly what you’re dealing with so we can come prepared with the right tools and parts. Then we head straight to your Oak Lawn home to diagnose the problem.
We don’t just patch things up temporarily. We find the root cause and fix it properly the first time. Whether it’s a loose connection causing those flickering lights or an overloaded circuit that’s making your outlets hot to the touch, we handle it safely and completely. You’ll know exactly what was wrong, what we did to fix it, and what to watch for in the future.

Emergency electrical service means we handle the problems that can’t wait. Power outages affecting part or all of your home. Burning smells coming from outlets, switches, or your electrical panel. Lights that flicker constantly or dim when you use appliances.
We also handle the urgent upgrades that keep Oak Lawn homes safe. Panel upgrades for older homes that are tripping breakers constantly. New circuits for EV chargers that your current system can’t handle. Service changes when your electrical system isn’t keeping up with your family’s needs.
Oak Lawn’s older housing stock means we see a lot of electrical panels from the 1960s and 70s that are working overtime. These systems weren’t designed for today’s electrical demands—multiple computers, large-screen TVs, electric vehicle charging, and modern appliances. When they start showing signs of strain, that’s when you call us for an emergency upgrade before something more serious happens.
