How fast can an emergency electrician get to my Louisville home?

Most Louisville-metro emergencies are on-site within 60 minutes. From our Hillview shop, our crews regularly reach the Highlands, St. Matthews, Germantown, Jeffersontown, and downtown Louisville in 30–45 minutes. For Shepherdsville, Mt. Washington, and Southern Indiana we are typically there within an hour. Call (502) 921-3777 and we will tell you the exact ETA on the call.

Do you charge extra for nights, weekends, or holidays?

We charge a fair after-hours service-call rate that is quoted before we dispatch — never a hidden surprise on the invoice. Most importantly, the repair price itself is the same flat rate any time of day. We never inflate emergency repairs because the customer is in a stressful situation.

What should I do while I wait for the electrician?

If you smell smoke or burning plastic, evacuate and call 911 first. If it is safe, turn off power at the main breaker. Do not keep resetting a breaker that trips immediately — that is what causes electrical fires. Stay away from any sparking outlet or downed wire. Then call us at (502) 921-3777 and we will walk you through any other steps until our truck arrives.

My power is out — is that a Hadley call or an LG&E call?

If your whole street is dark, it is an LG&E utility outage and you should call 502-589-1444. If your neighbors have power but you do not, the problem is on your side of the meter — that is when you call us. Common causes are tripped main breakers, failed meter bases, storm-damaged service masts, or burned panel feeders. We can usually restore power the same visit.

Do you handle commercial emergency electrical calls in Louisville?

Yes. We are a licensed commercial and industrial electrical contractor and respond 24/7 to office buildings, restaurants, retail, warehouses, and manufacturing plants across Louisville. We service single-phase and three-phase systems, switchgear up to 4,000A, panel-board feeders, and emergency generator transfer switches.

Is Hadley Energy Solutions licensed and insured in Kentucky?

Yes. We hold Kentucky Electrical Contractor License #CE64623, Master Electrician License #ME64500, and HVAC Master License #HM06538. We are fully bonded, carry general liability and workers' comp insurance, and pull permits for every job that requires one.

Do you offer financing on emergency panel replacements?

We provide free written estimates and can discuss payment options for larger emergency repairs like a full panel replacement or service-entrance rebuild. Call (502) 921-3777 and we will explain what is available based on the scope of your repair.

What recalled electrical panels do you replace in Louisville?

We frequently replace Federal Pacific Electric (FPE / Stab-Lok), Zinsco / Sylvania, Challenger, and Pushmatic panels — all of which have known fire and breaker-failure histories. If you have one of these in your Louisville home, schedule a replacement before it becomes an emergency. We replace with Eaton, Square D, or Siemens 200A panels rated for modern loads.

Do you service generators during a power outage?

Yes. If your standby generator fails to start or fails to transfer during a Louisville-area outage, we respond 24/7. We service Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, and Cummins residential and light-commercial standby systems.

What areas around Louisville do you cover for emergency calls?

We cover the entire Louisville metro plus Shepherdsville, Mt. Washington, Hillview, Bardstown, Cox's Creek, La Grange, Elizabethtown, Lexington, and Southern Indiana including New Albany, Jeffersonville, Clarksville, and Charlestown. If you are unsure whether we serve your address, call (502) 921-3777 and we will confirm immediately.

What Counts as an Electrical Emergency in Louisville?

An electrical emergency is any situation where waiting could cause a fire, electrocution, or major property damage. In Louisville, the most common emergencies our team responds to are total power loss to a home or business, breakers that trip immediately when reset, burning smells from outlets or panels, sparking outlets, water-damaged panels after storms, generator failures during an outage, and downed service wires after high winds. If you are facing any of these, do not wait until morning. Turn off power at the main breaker if it is safe to do so, evacuate if you smell smoke, and call (502) 921-3777.

Hadley Energy Solutions is one of the few Louisville electrical contractors that staff a true 24-hour emergency line. We are licensed under Kentucky Master Electrician #ME64500 and Electrical Contractor #CE64623, fully insured, and dispatch out of our Hillview shop on Old Preston Highway — which means we can be in the Highlands, Germantown, St. Matthews, Jeffersontown, or downtown Louisville in under an hour for most calls.

24-Hour Emergency Electrical Services We Handle

From a single dead outlet to a full panel replacement after a lightning strike, our master electricians arrive ready with stocked trucks and the tools to fix it the first visit.

Total Power Loss & Outages

When LG&E shows your service is on but your home or building has no power, the problem is on your side of the meter. We diagnose service drops, mast damage, meter base failures, and main breaker faults the same day.

Sparking Outlets & Burning Smells

A burning plastic smell or visible spark from any outlet, switch, or panel is a fire risk. We arrive fast, isolate the circuit, and replace failed devices, scorched wire, and damaged junction boxes.

Breakers That Won't Reset

If a breaker trips immediately every time you flip it back on, there is a short circuit or ground fault on that line. We trace and repair the fault — never just keep resetting it, which is dangerous.

Electrical Panel Failures

Hot panels, melted breakers, double-tapped lugs, and recalled FPE / Zinsco / Pushmatic panels are emergencies. We replace failed panels with code-compliant 200A service the same day when possible.

Storm & Surge Damage

Lightning strikes and grid surges can fry your service entrance, HVAC controls, and sensitive electronics. We restore service and install whole-home surge protection while we are there.

Generator Won't Start

Standby generator failed to transfer during the outage? We service Generac, Kohler, and Briggs systems and can get your backup power running while utility power is restored.
