Same-Day Service
Most service calls handled same-day across Spokane and Coeur d'Alene.
Emergency Electrical
Electrical emergencies don't wait. Neither do we.
A burning smell at the panel, sparking outlets, or a dead breaker that won’t reset isn’t a normal service call. You need a real person to answer the phone, a Washington or Idaho licensed electrician who’s actually on call, and a fix that doesn’t require waiting until business hours. That’s what we do.
We charge the same flat rate at 2am Sunday as we do at 2pm Tuesday. Our trucks are stocked with the parts that account for 90% of after-hours electrical emergencies. And we’ll give you a real ETA — not an open-ended window. Residential and commercial coverage.
- Priority dispatch Sparking, burning smell, and power outages move to the front of the queue, 24/7.
- No surcharge Same flat rate at 2am Sunday as at 2pm Tuesday.
- Stocked trucks Breakers, outlets, switches, and panel parts on board for one-trip repairs.
- Real ETA Live tech tracking — you know exactly when help arrives.
When to Call Now
Electrical emergencies — call immediately
Some electrical problems can wait until morning. These cannot. Call now if you see any of these:
-
Burning smell at panel
Shut off the main breaker if you can do so safely, then call. Fire risk.
-
Sparking outlet or switch
Stop using the outlet and call. Hot or sparking outlets are a real fire risk.
-
Whole-house power loss
Main breaker tripped, service entrance issue, or utility problem — all worth a same-day check.
-
Post-storm damage
Lightning strikes, fallen tree on the service drop — we coordinate with the utility and restore safely.
-
Water in or near the panel
Roof leak or plumbing failure dripping into the panel — shut off main and call.
-
Breaker won't reset
A breaker that won't reset means a fault still exists on the circuit — don't force it.
What We Fix After Hours
Most emergencies in one visit
Our trucks are stocked specifically for after-hours electrical failures — the components that account for 90% of emergency calls.
- Panel hot spots Diagnose and replace failing breakers, overheated bus bars, and recall-panel failures.
- Sparking outlets Replace failed outlets, repair burned wiring, and protect against repeat failures.
- Storm damage Coordinate with utility, repair damaged service entrance, and restore safe power.
- Burning smell diagnosis Find and fix the source — failed breaker, melting insulation, or overheated junction.
- Power restoration Restore power to circuits that won't come back after an outage.
- Generator transfer issues Manual or automatic transfer switch failures during an outage — fixed same-visit.
- Damaged service drop Tree-damaged or storm-damaged service entrance — emergency repair coordinated with utility.
- Commercial emergencies 24/7 emergency response for restaurants, offices, multi-family, and light industrial.

Emergency Electricians — Frequently Asked Questions
Do you really answer at 2am?
Yes. A real dispatcher — not an automated system or callback service — answers every call, 24/7/365. They confirm your address, the symptoms, and dispatch the closest qualified electrician with a real ETA.
Is there an after-hours surcharge?
No. Our flat-rate pricing is the same at 2am Sunday as at 2pm Tuesday. The diagnostic fee, labor rate, and parts pricing don’t change for after-hours calls.
How fast can someone get to me?
For most emergency calls in Spokane and Coeur d’Alene, our typical ETA is 30–90 minutes. We’ll text you when the tech is on the way with a live tracking link.
What should I do while I wait?
If safe, shut off the main breaker. If you smell burning or see smoke, leave the house and call 911 first, then us. If there’s water around the panel, do not approach — call us and we’ll coordinate with the utility.
Do you handle commercial electrical emergencies?
Yes. 24/7 commercial emergency response for restaurants, offices, multi-family, and light industrial in both Washington and Idaho.
