  1. 1. If you smell burning or see smoke, leave the house and call 911 first. Electrical fire is not a wait-and-see situation.
  2. 2. If it's safe to reach the panel, shut off the affected breaker — or the main, if you can't tell which. Don't touch anything wet.
  3. 3. Then call us. Tell us what you smelled, saw, or heard. It changes what we bring.

Burning or fishy smell near an outlet or panel · Sparking, buzzing, or a scorched outlet · Half the house dark · A breaker that won't reset · A panel that's warm or humming · Water near the panel · Storm damage to the service line

If the damage is to the line running from the pole to your house, that's ComEd's equipment, not ours. Call them at 1-800-EDISON-1. We'll tell you straight if that's what you're looking at — there's no charge for a phone call that ends with us sending you somewhere else.

[After-hours rates apply. We'll tell you what they are before we dispatch.]

Your House Was Wired for a Different Century.

Most homes around here were wired somewhere between the fifties and the eighties, for a household that ran a television, a fridge, and a toaster.

Now the same panel is running a home office or two, a microwave and an air fryer on the same kitchen circuit, mini-splits, maybe an induction range, and a car in the garage that wants sixty amps by itself. The wiring didn't fail. The house grew and the panel didn't.

That's what a breaker that keeps tripping usually means. Sometimes it means something worse — an overloaded circuit running warm behind a wall is a real fire risk, and old aluminum branch wiring and un-grounded outlets are still out there in this county. Either way it's a question with an answer, and the answer starts with somebody competent looking at the panel.

That's the whole job. Find out what your house is actually drawing, then give it the capacity to do it safely.

The Process

What Happens When You Call.

You approve the price in writing before anything starts. The same way every job runs, whether it's one outlet or the whole panel.

  1. 01

    We come look

    A licensed electrician comes to the house and looks at the actual panel and the actual problem. No prices quoted over the phone, because a phone price is a guess.

  2. 02

    You get a written price

    An itemized digital estimate, in writing, before any work starts. You can read it, sit on it, or send it to someone. Nothing gets added later without your say-so.

    [Financing available on approved credit.] · [Most estimates delivered within X business days of the visit.]

  3. 03

    We do the work

    Permitted where it needs to be, wired to current code, panel labeled, and the house cleaned up before we leave.

Not Sure What You Need? Start With the Inspection.

If you don't know whether your panel is a problem, the honest answer is that nobody can tell you over the phone — including us.

So book the inspection. A licensed electrician goes through the panel, the circuits, the grounding, and the outlets, and you get written findings ranked by what actually matters. If everything's fine, we'll tell you it's fine and you'll have that in writing. If it isn't, you'll know exactly what you're dealing with and what it costs.

No pressure to book work off the back of it. [Inspection is $XX / free — CONFIRM.]

Most useful for homes built before 1990, houses you're about to buy, and panels you've never actually looked at.

Why Us

We Wire Commercial Buildings. Then We Come Fix Your Kitchen.

Most of what we do is commercial — tenant build-outs, service upgrades, code corrections for property managers who don't get to be wrong about electrical. That's the standard we bring into a house: permitted, inspected, labeled, documented.

It also means the person at your door is one of our own licensed electricians. [Background-checked, in company gear, and we'll tell you who's coming before they arrive.]
