FAQs About Emergency Electrical Services
How quickly can you arrive in Gunnison or Crested Butte?
In most cases, we can dispatch an emergency electrician immediately and arrive within 30–60 minutes in Gunnison. For Crested Butte, Lake City, and other mountain areas, arrival time depends on road and weather conditions, but we’re equipped for winter travel and get to you as fast as safely possible.
Do you really answer calls 24/7?
Yes. When you call our number after hours, you’ll reach a licensed electrician on duty—not an answering service. We’re available nights, weekends, and holidays.
What should I do before calling?
If it’s safe, check your breaker panel for a tripped breaker or reset any GFCI outlets that may have cut power. If you notice smoke, sparks, or a burning smell, turn off power at the main breaker if possible and call us immediately. Do not attempt further troubleshooting on your own.
Do you handle emergencies for rental properties?
Absolutely. We frequently respond to short-term rental units and vacation homes in Gunnison and Crested Butte. Quick turnaround is critical to avoid lost bookings, and we prioritize property managers when power or heat goes out between guests.
Can you install a generator so I don’t lose power again?
Yes. If outages are frequent at your home or rental, we can recommend and install a standby generator system. Visit our Backup Power & Generators page for details.
