What We Handle in Emergencies

We specialize in the electrical problems that can’t wait – complete power outages, burning smells from outlets or panels, lights that flicker throughout the house, and circuits that trip repeatedly. These aren’t just inconveniences; they’re potential safety hazards that need immediate professional attention.

Warrenville homes built in the 1970s and 80s often need panel upgrades to handle modern electrical loads safely. We also handle emergency circuit additions for EV chargers when your current system can’t support the additional power requirements without tripping breakers.

Service changes, emergency wiring repairs, and immediate electrical troubleshooting make up most of our emergency calls. We carry the most common replacement parts on our trucks, so we can complete most repairs without having to order parts and come back later.

How quickly can you respond to electrical emergencies in Warrenville?

We typically respond to true electrical emergencies within 1-2 hours, depending on our current call volume and the severity of the situation. If you’re experiencing burning smells, sparking outlets, or complete power loss, we prioritize these calls as immediate safety hazards. For less urgent issues like a single outlet not working or one room losing power, we can usually schedule same-day service within 4-6 hours. We’re available 24 hours a day because electrical problems don’t follow business hours, and some issues genuinely can’t wait until morning.
Call immediately if you smell burning plastic or electrical odors, see sparks from outlets or switches, experience complete power loss, or have lights flickering throughout your entire home. These situations indicate potential fire hazards or serious electrical faults that need professional attention right away. Issues like a single dead outlet, one room losing power, or a garbage disposal that stopped working can usually wait for regular business hours. However, if you’re unsure whether something is dangerous, it’s always better to call and let us assess the situation over the phone.
We charge a standard service call fee regardless of when you call us. There’s no additional “emergency fee” or after-hours surcharge – electrical emergencies are stressful enough without surprise pricing. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, and we offer discounts for military families, seniors, teachers, first responders, students, and new customers. The goal is to get your electrical problem fixed safely and affordably, not to take advantage of an emergency situation.
If your electrical panel is the source of the emergency – like repeated breaker trips, burning smells from the panel, or outdated equipment that’s creating safety hazards – we can often complete the upgrade the same day. Panel upgrades typically take 4-6 hours and require coordination with your utility company to temporarily disconnect power. We carry the most common residential panels on our trucks, but complex upgrades might require ordering specific equipment. We’ll always make your home safe first, then schedule the full upgrade if needed.
If you smell burning or see sparks, turn off the main breaker if you can do so safely, then leave the area and wait outside. Don’t use water on electrical fires – call the fire department if you see flames. For power outages, avoid opening refrigerators and freezers unnecessarily to keep food cold longer. Use flashlights instead of candles to prevent fire hazards. Don’t run generators inside your home or garage, and avoid using extension cords as permanent solutions for lost power in specific rooms.
Yes, all our electricians are licensed, bonded, and insured to work in Warrenville and throughout Illinois.
