Are your electricians licensed and insured in Decatur?
Yes. Every field technician holds an Alabama Electrical Contractor or Journeyman license recognized by the City of Decatur. We also carry full general liability, workers’ compensation, and commercial auto insurance. Copies of licenses and certificates of insurance are available on request, so you can feel confident that qualified, background-checked professionals are working on your home or business.
How much will my electrical repair cost, and do you offer free estimates?
Most repairs start with a no-obligation on-site diagnostic that is free if you proceed with the work. After the assessment, we give you a firm, up-front price—not an hourly guess—so you know exactly what you’ll pay before we begin. Pricing is based on labor, materials, permit fees (when required), and the complexity of the job. We also offer financing options for larger projects such as service-panel replacements or whole-house rewiring.
Do you provide 24/7 emergency electrical repair services in Decatur?
Absolutely. Power outages, burning smells, sparking outlets, or storm damage can’t wait. Our emergency hotline is staffed around the clock, and a technician can usually be on site anywhere in Decatur or the surrounding communities within 60–90 minutes. We arrive with generators, temporary lighting, and critical parts so we can secure the area, eliminate hazards, and restore essential power until permanent repairs are completed.
What kind of warranty or guarantee comes with your electrical repairs?
We stand behind our workmanship with a transferable five-year labor warranty, plus the manufacturer’s warranty on all parts and fixtures we supply. If any issue related to our repair recurs within that period, we’ll return and fix it at no cost. We also guarantee that all work will meet or exceed the National Electrical Code and the City of Decatur Building Department requirements, giving you long-term safety and peace of mind.
