Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can Hi-Lite Electric respond to an emergency in Glen Ellyn?

We operate 24/7 with fully equipped vans ready to respond day or night, including weekends and holidays. Response time depends on current call volume and your location, but we prioritize emergency situations and dispatch as quickly as possible.

What counts as an electrical emergency?

Common emergency situations include a complete loss of power, a tripped breaker that won’t reset, a burning smell near outlets or panels, storm damage to your weatherhead or service drop, or any condition causing equipment damage or a full loss of power to your home or business. When in doubt, reach out and we’ll help you assess the urgency.

Do you handle emergency calls for both homes and businesses in Glen Ellyn?

Yes, Hi-Lite Electric serves both residential and commercial clients for emergency service and installation. Whether it’s a single-family home near Lake Ellyn or a commercial property elsewhere in DuPage County, we have the equipment and experience to respond appropriately.

Will I get a project quote before work begins?

In most cases, yes. For straightforward situations, we can provide a quote after an on-site assessment before any work begins. In genuine emergencies where immediate action is needed to prevent further equipment damage or total loss of power, we’ll communicate clearly about scope and cost as quickly as the situation allows.

Does Hi-Lite Electric handle permits and inspections for emergency installations like generators?

Yes, we manage the permitting process and coordinate with local municipalities, including Glen Ellyn and the broader DuPage County permitting offices. Our familiarity with local processes helps reduce delays, though inspection timelines are ultimately set by the municipality.

Are your electricians qualified to work on older homes with knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring?

Yes. Glen Ellyn has many established neighborhoods with mid-century and pre-war homes that still have aging or original wiring systems, and our electricians receive continual training on how to properly evaluate and replace those systems to meet current code. We focus on full replacement rather than patchwork repairs to help ensure code compliance.

What warranty does Hi-Lite Electric provide on emergency electrical work?

Every project we complete comes backed by a 90-day parts warranty and a 1-year labor warranty. Hi-Lite Electric is also ICC Certified (#25-0696), licensed, bonded, and insured.
