Breaker kept tripping and we smelled something burning. Called them and they came out immediately, found a melted wire in the panel, and replaced it. Could have been a fire. Grateful for fast electrical service. (Chicago)

Omar N.
Called them because half the outlets in the bedroom stopped working. Turned out to be a tripped GFCI in the bathroom - took the guy 10 min to fix and he only charged me for the service call. Honest.
