Electrical emergency? Do this first
- Smoke, flames or sparks: get everyone out and call 911.
- Burning smell, scorch marks, or a hot outlet or cover: if you can reach the panel safely, switch off that circuit's breaker. Don't use the outlet. Then call us.
- A downed or damaged power line to the house or garage: stay well away and call your electric utility from a safe distance.
What to have ready when you call us
A few details help the electrician understand the job and give a more accurate estimate:
- Garage type: attached or detached, and roughly how far a detached garage is from the house
- What you want or what's happening: "add a charger for a 48-amp EV," "GFCI won't reset," "no power since the storm"
- Your main panel: the number on the main breaker (often 100 or 200) and whether there are open spaces
- Equipment details: the nameplate amps or watts for a charger, welder, compressor or heater
- Photos: the panel with its door open, the garage walls, and any wiring that worries you
- Location: your address or ZIP, and whether you're inside Lancaster city limits, since that decides which office issues the permit
- Ownership: if you rent, the property owner usually needs to approve electrical work
What happens after you call
- We ask a few questions about your garage and the job.
- You connect with a licensed, city-registered electrician who handles that type of work.
- The electrician confirms the scope, explains the estimate, and schedules the visit.
- If the job needs a permit, the electrician pulls it and arranges the inspection.
