How quickly can you respond to electrical emergencies in Hickory Hills?

Most electrical emergencies get a response within 24 hours, often much faster depending on the situation and time of day. Emergency electrical repairs take priority because safety issues like burning smells, sparking outlets, or complete power loss can’t wait. The response time depends on the severity of the problem and current service calls, but we understand that some situations create immediate safety concerns. If you’re dealing with burning smells or sparking electrical components, that gets immediate attention. For urgent but non-emergency electrical problems like flickering lights or outlets that stopped working, you typically get service within 1-2 business days. The goal is getting your electrical system working safely as quickly as possible.
Burning smells from outlets, electrical panels, or anywhere in your home require immediate attention from a licensed electrical contractor. This often signals overheating wires or electrical components that could cause a fire if not addressed quickly. Sparking outlets, flickering lights throughout the house, or frequent circuit breaker trips also need professional electrical diagnosis. These symptoms usually indicate underlying electrical problems that temporary fixes won’t solve and could create safety hazards. Complete power outages that aren’t affecting your neighbors, electrical panels that feel warm to the touch, or any situation where you can see damaged electrical wiring should be handled by professional electrical contractors immediately. Don’t try to fix these problems yourself.
Electrical panel upgrades typically range from $1,500 to $4,000 depending on the size of the new panel, the complexity of the installation, and whether additional electrical work is needed to bring everything up to current codes. Many Hickory Hills homes still have older electrical panels that can’t handle modern electrical demands. Upgrading from a 100-amp to a 200-amp service panel costs more than replacing an existing 200-amp panel, but gives you the electrical capacity for modern appliances, EV chargers, and home additions. The exact cost depends on your specific situation, including the condition of your existing electrical wiring, the location of your electrical panel, and local permit requirements. We provide upfront pricing after evaluating your current electrical system.
Yes, we handle EV charger installations including the dedicated electrical circuit required for Level 2 home charging stations. This typically requires a 240-volt circuit similar to what electric dryers or large appliances use. Most EV charger installations need a dedicated 40-amp or 50-amp circuit run from your electrical panel to the charging location. We evaluate your current electrical panel capacity to ensure it can handle the additional electrical load without overloading your system. The installation includes running the appropriate electrical wiring, installing the proper electrical outlet or hardwired connection, and ensuring everything meets local electrical codes. Many Hickory Hills homes need electrical panel upgrades before EV charger installation to handle the increased electrical demand safely.
Yes, all electrical work is performed by licensed electrical contractors who are also bonded and insured. Illinois requires electrical contractors to be licensed to perform electrical work, and we carry insurance to protect both our contractors and homeowners. Licensed electrical contractors understand Illinois electrical codes and local permit requirements. We know how to handle electrical work safely and according to standards that protect your home and family from electrical hazards. Our licensing, bonding, and insurance coverage means you’re protected if something goes wrong during the electrical work. We stand behind our work with warranties and have the credentials to prove we know what we’re doing.
We offer discounts for military members, first responders, seniors, teachers, students, and new customers. These discounts recognize the important contributions these groups make to the Hickory Hills community and help make professional electrical services more accessible. The specific discount amount varies depending on the type of electrical work and current promotions. Military and first responder discounts typically apply to both emergency electrical repairs and planned electrical projects like panel upgrades or circuit additions. New customer discounts help homeowners try our professional electrical contracting services without paying full price for their first service call.
