Is This an Emergency? Here Is the Honest Answer.
Not every issue needs a truck tonight, and we will tell you when something can safely wait. Here is what genuinely needs a same night response.
⚡ Electrical Emergencies
- Total or partial power loss not caused by a Dominion Energy outage
- A panel that is hot to the touch, smoking, buzzing, or popping
- Outlets, switches, or fixtures sparking or giving off a burning smell
- Visible scorching or melting around outlets, switches, or the panel
- A breaker that keeps tripping and will not reset on an essential circuit
- Storm damage to the service drop, mast, or interior wiring
🌡️ HVAC Emergencies
- AC failure in extreme heat when someone in the home is medically vulnerable
- A furnace or heat pump failure when temperatures drop below freezing
- Carbon monoxide alarm activation (call 911 first, then us)
- A gas furnace short cycling combined with any unusual smell
- Flooding around an HVAC unit or condensate overflow reaching living space
- A refrigerant leak with audible hissing or visible icing on the line set
Most other issues, even ones that feel urgent like a single dead outlet or a frozen thermostat, can usually wait until business hours without risk. We will help you triage on the phone before sending a truck, and book you the first morning slot at standard rates if it can wait.

What We Fix on an Emergency Call
⚡ Electrical
Main panel and subpanel failure, partial power loss to a floor or zone, breakers that will not reset, sparking or arcing outlets, burning smells, downed service drop coordination with Dominion Energy, exterior shut off failures, GFCI failures on critical circuits, and storm damage to interior wiring.
🌡️ HVAC
AC compressor and condenser fan motor failure, refrigerant leak diagnosis, frozen evaporator coil, thermostat failure, blower motor failure, gas furnace lockout, heat pump defrost failure, and full system replacement when a repair is not viable.
We do not handle natural gas line repair (call Washington Gas at 703.750.1000) or sewer issues. For plumbing emergencies we partner with Veteran Plumbing Services.
Why Northern Virginia Homes See More Emergencies Than Most
The housing stock here spans more than a century of construction, and that creates predictable failure points. Older Arlington and Alexandria homes often still run on 100 amp panels never sized for a hot tub, an EV charger, a heat pump, and a home office all at once, so they fail on the hottest or coldest day when load peaks.
Reston, Herndon, and parts of Vienna from the 1970s boom often have aluminum branch wiring and Federal Pacific panels, both on the insurance industry’s known defect list. Fairfax County’s tree canopy means more downed service drops in storms. And builder grade HVAC across newer Loudoun and Prince William subdivisions is reaching end of life all at once, usually mid summer when every contractor is overbooked.

What an Emergency Call Costs, Honestly
Emergency response carries a dispatch fee on top of standard hourly rates. Ours is fair compared to the larger franchises, and we apply it toward your final invoice when the repair proceeds. You get a written quote before any work starts, and we never pad it with parts you do not need. If your issue can safely wait until morning, we will tell you and book the first slot the next day at standard rates. Saving you money is not a sales tactic, it is how we earn repeat customers.
