In today’s society, electric is used for practically everything as a way of life, from our televisions and cell phones, to light fixtures and appliances. So when the electric service is interrupted, we lose most of the amenities we take for granted. Dealing with an electrical outage can lead to a discomforting and disastrous situation fast, whether it be in a commercial space, residential dwelling, or industrial warehouse. Projects and operations become delayed while homeowners are faced with a loss of power. Suddenly, life comes to a halt and the only way to restore productivity and comfort is to get the electric turned back on in a fast and timely manner.
But how?
Well, the answer is simple – first, contact your electrical utility company. If the company finds that the service interruption is a customer related issue, you need to get in contact with a reliable and certified team of electrical contractors located in the Philadelphia region. We at A-1 Electric operate with a contracting division that handles electrical emergencies, separate from our third party agency. Whether the power has gone out at 8 am or 3 am, we will arrive promptly to assess the situation with our 24/7 emergency service. It is crucial that a certified electrical company be called as soon as the power goes out so that if the situation is hazardous, it can be handled effectively to return the atmosphere back to a safe environment.
We tackle a wide variety of emergencies such as:
- Power disconnections
- Wiring has been replaced, compromised or repaired
- Troubleshooting
- Violation corrections
- Lot lighting
- Expedited projects
- Storm outages
- Failed equipment
- HVAC system replacement
We are proud to say that we are a trusted electrical service company that is registered by the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General as a recognized home improvement contractor. We have the required home improvement contractor number (HIC#), of which we display on all of our estimates and invoices. This credential lets our customers know that we are a reputable and trustworthy electrical company – which means you have one less thing to worry about when it comes to restoring your electric – the knowledge that you are not dealing with an unqualified or sketchy electrical company.
When you contact us for emergency service, our Hi-voltage crews set out to your location using our fleet of bucket trucks, fully equipped and prepared to take on any challenge. You can count on our experienced and knowledgeable contractors to take care of the electrical situation so that you can get back to your normal routine.
Since we are also an accredited third party agency by the Commonwealth of PA, we would not be able to provide electrical work if we are also performing the inspection. However, if we are doing the electrical work as part of the emergency service, we will get in touch with a certified (or other utility company) outside third party agency to have them conduct the inspection. This is especially done if the emergency service entailed a repair, installation, or rewiring and a valid permit from the AHJ is required for the property.
Call us if you have an emergency service that needs to be assessed – we’re here to help!
