What constitutes an electrical emergency in Park Ridge?

An electrical emergency requires immediate attention when you have power outages affecting your entire home, burning smells from outlets or panels, sparks from electrical fixtures, or breakers that keep tripping repeatedly. These situations can indicate serious safety hazards like electrical fires or system failures. In Park Ridge’s older homes, we also consider it urgent when you have flickering lights throughout the house, outlets that feel warm to the touch, or buzzing sounds from your electrical panel. These symptoms often indicate overloaded circuits or failing electrical components that need immediate professional attention. If you’re unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call us anyway. We’d rather assess a non-emergency than have you risk electrical fire or electrocution by waiting.

We always give you an accurate arrival window when you call, and our electrician will call you when they’re 15 minutes away. Unlike some electrical contractors who make you wait days for service, we understand that electrical problems in your home need prompt attention.
