Frequently asked
Do you really answer calls 24/7?
Yes. Electrical emergencies don't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Call (402) 650-9010 any time — day, night, weekend or holiday — and we'll respond.
What counts as an electrical emergency?
A burning smell, smoke or sparks, a hot outlet or panel, a downed or arcing power line, a total power loss, or water contacting electrical equipment. If it feels unsafe, call us and keep clear of the area.
What should I do while I wait?
If you smell burning or see smoke or sparks, and it's safe to do so, shut off the affected circuit or the main breaker and keep everyone away. Never touch a downed power line. Then call us and we'll talk you through it.
