Westchester Emergency Electrical Services

What's Included in Our Service

Our residential electrical services cover the full range of issues that Westchester homeowners face. Emergency repairs are our specialty, but we also handle planned upgrades and installations.

For emergency situations, we respond quickly to power outages, electrical fires, burning smells, and any electrical issue that poses immediate safety risks. These problems require immediate professional attention, and we’re equipped to handle them safely.

For planned electrical work, we install new circuits for EV chargers, upgrade electrical panels to handle modern electrical loads, and rewire sections of your home that have outdated or unsafe wiring. Westchester has many homes that were built before today’s electrical demands, and upgrading these systems prevent future emergencies while improving your home’s functionality.

We also offer discounts for military personnel, first responders, seniors, teachers, new customers, and students. These discounts reflect our commitment to serving the Westchester community that has supported our business for 25 years.

How quickly can you respond to electrical emergencies in Westchester?

Emergency electrical situations require immediate attention, and we understand that. When you’re dealing with power outages, burning smells, or any electrical issue that could pose safety risks, we prioritize getting to your Westchester home as quickly as possible. Response times depend on our current service calls and the severity of your situation, but we’ve built our business around being available when homeowners need emergency electrical repairs. We’ll give you an honest estimate of when we can arrive when you call. The most important thing is your safety. If you’re experiencing electrical fires, sparking outlets, or any situation that feels dangerous, shut off power at your main breaker if you can do so safely, and call us immediately.

Do you provide free estimates for electrical work in Westchester?

Yes, we provide clear estimates for all electrical work before we begin any repairs or installations. You’ll know exactly what the work will cost and what’s included before we start. For emergency situations, we’ll diagnose the problem first, then explain what needs to be fixed and provide an estimate. We don’t believe in surprise charges or unclear pricing, especially when you’re already dealing with the stress of electrical problems. For planned electrical work like panel upgrades or new circuit installations, we’ll assess your current electrical system, discuss your needs, and provide a detailed estimate that covers all materials and labor. This lets you make informed decisions about your home’s electrical improvements.

What types of electrical emergencies do you handle most often?

The most common electrical emergencies we see in Westchester homes include circuit breakers that trip repeatedly, flickering lights throughout the house, burning smells from outlets or electrical panels, and partial or complete power outages that aren’t caused by utility issues. We also handle sparking outlets, electrical panels that feel warm to the touch, and situations where homeowners are getting mild electrical shocks from appliances or switches. These problems indicate serious electrical issues that need immediate professional attention. Panel upgrades are another frequent service call. Many Westchester homes have electrical panels that can’t handle modern electrical loads, leading to frequent breaker trips and potential safety hazards. Upgrading these panels prevent emergencies and gives you the electrical capacity your home needs.

Are you licensed and insured for electrical work in Illinois?

Yes, we are fully licensed, bonded, and insured to perform electrical work in Westchester and throughout Illinois. This licensing means we meet all state requirements for electrical contractors and stay current with electrical codes and safety standards. Our insurance protects both your property and our workers during electrical repairs and installations. If something unexpected happens during the work, you’re covered. This protection is especially important for electrical work, where mistakes can cause property damage or safety hazards. We maintain these licenses and insurance because electrical work involves serious safety considerations. Working with licensed, insured electrical contractors protects you and ensures that all work meets current electrical codes and standards.

Can you install EV charger circuits and other high-power electrical systems?

Yes, we install new circuits for EV chargers, along with other high-power electrical installations that modern homes require. EV charger installations require dedicated circuits and proper electrical capacity, which we can assess and install safely. Before any high-power installation, we evaluate your current electrical panel to make sure it can handle the additional load. Many Westchester homes need panel upgrades before adding EV chargers or other high-demand electrical systems. We can handle both the panel upgrade and the new circuit installation. We also install circuits for hot tubs, workshop equipment, and other appliances that require dedicated electrical service. These installations require proper planning and execution to ensure safe operation and code compliance, which is exactly what our 25 years of residential electrical experience provides.

What should I do if I smell burning or see sparks from electrical outlets?

If you smell burning or see sparks from any electrical outlet, switch, or panel, this is an emergency situation that requires immediate action. First, shut off power to that area at your circuit breaker if you can do so safely, then call us immediately. Don’t use water on electrical fires, and don’t attempt to investigate the source of burning smells yourself. These situations can escalate quickly and pose serious safety risks including electrical fires and electrocution. While waiting for our emergency response, keep family members away from the affected area and have a fire extinguisher nearby if possible. Electrical problems that produce burning smells or sparks indicate serious wiring issues that need professional diagnosis and repair immediately. These aren’t problems that will resolve themselves or that you should attempt to fix yourself.
