You call
A real electrician picks up, usually within a few rings, and asks a few questions to understand what's going on.
We quote and confirm arrival
Same call, you get an upfront price and a confirmed arrival window. No vague 'sometime today.'
We arrive and fix it safely
A fully stocked, licensed electrician arrives on time, works at the quoted price, tests everything, and leaves the right paperwork.

What people ask us before booking.
We are a licensed electrical contractor carrying $2 million in liability insurance. Permit-required work is coordinated with the local authority and inspected as needed. License details are available on request and shown on every quote.
Across most of Evanston and the North Shore, the same day — often within the hour for true emergencies. If we can't hit that window, we tell you honestly before you commit.
For panel upgrades, yes — we isolate power for part of the day. For rewires, we agree on an access plan; someone should be reachable.
Briefly — panel upgrades need a few hours without power. Whole-home rewires are phased so essential circuits are restored each working day.
Yes. We pull permits and coordinate inspections for notifiable work — panel upgrades, new circuits, rewires — so you don't manage the paperwork.
Documentation of the work performed, permit and inspection records where applicable, and a workmanship warranty. Specifics are provided with your written quote.
