Are your electricians licensed, insured, and familiar with local codes?
Yes. Every technician on our crew is a Montana-licensed journeyman or master electrician, carries up-to-date liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and receives ongoing training on the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) revisions. We also stay current with the specific amendments adopted by the City of Deer Lodge and Powell County Building Department. Our office handles all required permits and inspections, so you can be confident your project meets or exceeds all safety and code requirements.
Do you provide 24/7 emergency electrical service?
Absolutely. Power outages, sparking outlets, or burning smells can’t wait until normal business hours. We maintain a dedicated on-call team that responds to electrical emergencies in Deer Lodge 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. When you call our emergency line, a live dispatcher will gather details, immediately contact the nearest technician, and give you an accurate ETA—usually within 60–90 minutes. Our vans are stocked with common breakers, fuses, wiring, and diagnostic tools so most problems can be isolated and repaired on the first visit.
How quickly can you schedule a non-emergency service call in Deer Lodge?
For routine repairs and small projects, we can usually schedule you within 1–3 business days. Larger jobs—such as service upgrades or whole-house rewires—typically start with a free on-site estimate that we can arrange within a week. Once the proposal is approved, we coordinate material orders, permits, and utility notifications so work can begin as soon as possible, often within two weeks depending on scope and parts availability. We strive to respect your time by offering narrow arrival windows and text/phone updates when a technician is en route.
Can you help make my home or business more energy-efficient?
Yes. We offer comprehensive energy-efficiency assessments that include lighting audits, thermal imaging of electrical panels, and load analysis of major appliances or machinery. Based on the findings, we can retrofit LED lighting, install smart controls, upgrade outdated motors, add occupancy sensors, and recommend surge or power-factor correction devices. Many of these improvements qualify for Northwestern Energy rebates or federal tax incentives, and we’ll guide you through the paperwork to maximize your savings while reducing your monthly utility bills.
What should I do if my circuit breaker keeps tripping or an outlet feels warm?
Repeated breaker trips or warm outlets are warning signs of an overloaded circuit, loose connection, or deteriorating wiring. First, unplug nonessential devices on that circuit and try resetting the breaker once. If it trips again—especially immediately—or you notice buzzing, sparking, or a burning odor, shut off the breaker and call us. Do not continue to reset a breaker that won’t hold; this can cause overheating and potential fire. Our technicians will perform a load calculation, inspect connections with thermal and resistance testing, and recommend solutions such as redistributing loads, replacing faulty receptacles, or upgrading the circuit capacity.
