Frequently Asked Questions
- How quickly can you respond to an emergency electrical call?
- Our goal is to respond to emergency calls within one hour during business hours and as quickly as possible during after-hours. Call (888) 423-9319 to report your emergency and we'll dispatch a technician right away.
- Do I need a permit for electrical work in my home?
- Many electrical projects in Austin require permits and inspections. We handle the permitting process as part of our service to ensure your work meets local code requirements.
- What should I do if I smell burning plastic near an outlet?
- Stop using that outlet immediately and call us. Burning plastic smell indicates a serious electrical hazard. Turn off power to that circuit if you can safely do so, then contact us for emergency service.
- How often should I have my electrical system inspected?
- We recommend inspections every 3-5 years for older homes, or if you notice any issues like flickering lights, tripped breakers, or warm outlets. New homes generally don't need inspections unless problems develop.
- What's the difference between a licensed electrician and unlicensed work?
- Licensed electricians are trained, tested, and insured to work safely and meet code requirements. Unlicensed work can create hazards, fail inspections, and create liability issues. Always hire licensed professionals for electrical work.
