What We Respond To
Panel failures: Main breaker trips that won’t reset, burned panel smells, breakers that fail to hold — these need immediate attention.
Sparking or arcing: Any outlet, switch, or fixture that sparks, arcs, or has visible burn marks is a fire risk. Don’t continue using it.
Partial power loss: Half the house losing power while the other half works typically indicates a failed service leg — a utility issue that may require UI coordination, but we diagnose first.
Tripped GFCI or AFCI that won’t reset: Can indicate a genuine fault condition, not just a nuisance trip.
Storm damage: Downed service entrance wires, damaged weatherheads, or storm-related panel damage.
When to Call UI First
If you have downed lines at the street or on your property, call United Illuminating (UI) at their emergency line first — this is a utility responsibility. Once the line is cleared, we handle any resulting damage to your meter base or service entrance.
No Overtime Markup
Our rate doesn’t change for after-hours, weekends, or holidays. You pay the same rate regardless of when you call.
