Emergency Electrician for Mattoon homes and businesses
An urgent electrician call is different from a scheduled job. The first priority is making the home or building safe: isolating the fault, shutting down a damaged circuit and checking for heat at the panel. Then we find the cause, whether it is a failed breaker, a loose neutral, a shorted wire or storm damage to the service, and repair it so the power stays on. If the outage is on the utility side, we tell you straight away so you are not paying for a repair you do not need.
Mattoon belongs to northeast Wisconsin's string of working towns around the Fox River, Lake Winnebago and Green Bay, with housing that ranges from early-1900s homes to new subdivisions. In Shawano County we regularly upgrade older services, rewire two-story homes built before grounding was standard and wire new construction on the edge of town.
We provide emergency electrical repair throughout Mattoon and in nearby Bowler, Birnamwood and Antigo.
Emergency Electrician services we provide in Mattoon
Power outage and no power in the house
Half the house dark, or the whole place out while the neighbors have lights? We trace lost power to the main breaker, a failed lug or the service line.
Sparking outlet repair
A sparking outlet or one that is hot to the touch gets shut down, opened up and replaced, with the wiring behind it checked for damage.
Breaker keeps tripping
A breaker that will not reset is doing its job. We find the overload, short or ground fault behind it instead of just swapping the breaker.
Burning smell and electrical fire repair
A fishy or burning smell near a panel, switch or fixture means overheating. We locate it fast and repair the damage after a small electrical fire.
Flickering lights and electrical shorts
Lights that dim or flicker across several rooms can point to a loose main connection. Electrical short repair and neutral faults are handled the same visit.
Storm and water damage
Downed service masts, flooded basements and lightning strikes. We make it safe, coordinate with the utility and restore power.
Call an emergency electrician in Mattoon right away if

- You smell burning plastic or see scorch marks on an outlet, switch or panel
- An outlet, cord or breaker is sparking, buzzing or hot to the touch
- You have no power but the utility says the area is not out
Mattoon emergency electrical repair FAQ
How do I know if it is an emergency or can wait?
Burning smells, sparks, heat, buzzing, water near electricity and a total loss of power are emergencies. A single dead outlet or one tripped breaker that resets and holds can usually wait for a same-day or next-day visit. If you are not sure, call and we will help you decide.
Do you charge more for after-hours calls in Mattoon?
After-hours and holiday calls can carry a higher dispatch rate than a scheduled daytime visit. We tell you the rate on the phone before we send anyone, and you approve the repair price before work starts.
Is your emergency electrician in Mattoon really available 24/7?
Yes. The line at (888) 633-7804 is answered 24 hours a day, every day of the year, including holidays. An after-hours electrician is dispatched to Mattoon for anything that cannot safely wait until morning.
What should I do while I wait for the electrician?
If you can reach the panel safely, switch off the breaker for the affected circuit, or the main breaker if you are unsure. Unplug what you can, keep everyone away from the area and do not use water on anything electrical. If you see flames or smoke, leave and call 911 first.
