Call immediately if you notice

A burning or hot plastic smell near outlets, switches or the panel
Sparks or arcing from any device
Scorch marks or melted plastic on outlets or plugs
A breaker that trips instantly every time it's reset
Loss of power to part of the house while the street has power
Water reaching outlets or the panel, such as a basement flood

While we're on the way

If it's safe, switch off the affected breaker, or the main if you're not sure which circuit is involved. Don't keep resetting a breaker that trips. Unplug anything connected to a suspect outlet and keep people and pets clear of the area. Never step into standing water near electrical equipment. We'll guide you through immediate steps over the phone.

What happens on arrival

We isolate the fault and confirm nothing else is at risk, then test to find the cause and explain it. Many urgent faults in Glendale Heights homes are repaired on the same visit. If a larger repair is needed, we restore power to everything that can safely be restored and lay out the next steps.

Storms and basement water

Spring and summer storms in DuPage County bring surge damage, tripped mains and flooded basements, which put sump pumps, laundry circuits and panels at risk. We handle these calls in order of risk and tell you honestly where yours stands.

How a emergency job goes

Call and describe it

A few targeted questions on the phone usually narrow the problem down before we arrive.

We make it safe

First step on site is isolating anything that's overheating, tripping or exposed.

We test to the cause

Meters and methodical checks, circuit by circuit, until we know exactly what failed and why.

We repair and verify

The fix is done to current code and tested under load before we call the job finished.

Emergency questions

Is a burning smell an emergency?

Yes, treat it as one. It usually means a connection is overheating. Turn off the circuit if you can and call.

How do I know if it's my house or the utility?

If your neighbors have power and your main breaker is on but part or all of your home is out, the fault is likely on your side.

My basement flooded near the panel. What should I do?

Stay out of the water. If you can reach the main breaker from a dry spot safely, switch it off. Otherwise, call the utility to cut power, then call us.

How is emergency work priced?

Urgent work is priced on the job, and we explain the cost before starting any repair.
