Emergency Electrician in Brookfield

Call right away if you notice

• A burning or hot plastic smell near outlets, switches or the panel
• Sparks from an outlet, switch or fixture
• Scorch marks or melted plastic on devices or plugs
• A breaker that trips or a fuse that blows immediately
• Rooms without power while the rest of the street is lit
• Water near outlets or the panel after heavy rain

While we're on the way

If it's safe, switch off the affected breaker or remove the fuse, or shut off the main if you're unsure which circuit is involved. Don't keep resetting a breaker or replacing a fuse that blows straight away. Unplug anything on a suspect outlet, and keep people and pets away. Avoid standing water near electrical equipment. We'll walk you through it on the phone.

When we arrive

We make the circuit safe, confirm nothing else is at risk, then trace the fault and explain the cause. Many emergency repairs in Brookfield homes are completed on the same visit. Where the fault reveals a bigger problem, such as deteriorated original wiring, we restore power safely where we can and explain the next steps.

Heavy rain and wet basements

Heavy storms can bring water into basements across the west suburbs, putting panels, laundry circuits and sump pumps at risk. We handle these calls in order of risk and tell you honestly where your call stands.
