Call Us for All Your Emergency Household Electrical Repair Services
There are many types of emergency residential electrical repairs, and Lippolis Electric can handle them all. Our well-trained electricians can repair the following, and much more:
Blown Fuse
A blown fuse is one of the most common emergency electrical repair issues. This usually occurs when a room doesn’t have enough outlets to accommodate all the plugged-in devices, which can result in a circuit overload. While newer homes typically have circuit breakers that shut off the flow of electricity and prevent an overload, older homes often have fuses that will blow and subsequently need to be replaced.
Intermittent Power
Does the electrical power seem to “fade” in and out in certain areas of your home? This is usually a symptom of loose or faulty wiring. Our electricians can investigate the situation and perform any necessary emergency electrical repairs. Depending on the situation, this could entail tightening or securing the wiring, or in cases of frayed wires, executing a complete rewiring job.
Power Surges
With all the electronic devices we rely on these days, our homes are more susceptible to sudden power surges that can cause significant damage to the equipment. Lighting storms can also cause a dangerous power surge. Lippolis Electric can install high-quality surge protectors that will minimize the risk of damage from power spikes and prevent the need to replace expensive computers, televisions and other electrical products.
Light Bulb Burnout
Light bulbs that burn out frequently may be the most common household electrical repair issues, but it’s also the easiest to remedy. In most cases, this results from using a bulb with a higher wattage than the lighting fixture can handle. If switching to a lower-watt bulb doesn’t correct the problem, contact Lippolis Electric for help. We’ll inspect the fixture and wiring to determine if something else is causing your bulbs to burn out.
Sparking Electrical Outlets
A spark from an electrical outlet when turning on an electrical appliance can be a normal occurrence — or it could be a sign of a more severe household electrical repair issue. Older electrical outlets are more prone to sparking, which may result in a short circuit that could cause a fire. Replacing an aging outlet with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GCFI) can cause the circuit to shut down when overheated, which will prevent a fire.
Some electrical issues are more urgent than others. Contact Lippolis Electric right away if you need an emergency electrician for any of the following:
- Power Outages – A faulty line or a sudden power surge can result in a power outage in your home. Our qualified electricians can trace the source of the outage and perform the necessary repair work.
- Fallen Power Lines – A severe storm can cause power lines to fall near, or even on your home. Never touch or attempt to remove power lines yourself. Also, be sure to avoid touching trees that are in contact with fallen lines, as the wood contains moisture that conducts electricity.
- Malfunctioning Appliances – Many of us find it difficult, if not impossible, to function without our home appliances like refrigerators, water heaters and air conditioning units. If any of these or other household products ceases to operate, contact Lippolis Electric immediately. We can provide prompt 24/7/365 service for any electrical emergency.

Client testimonials
Dear Mr. Lippolis, I am writing this unsolicited letter in praise of Mike McKenna for making our major house renovation a very pleasant experience and a great success. Among other things, Mike helped us with a major electrical update in the house, including replacement of the old knob-and-tube wiring with new, and updated circuit-breaker box/outlets/switches/light fixtures/etc. In short, Mike has been knowledgeable and willing to help with advice, both when asked and when it was appropriate to suggest approach or alternatives, friendly, on time, and always doing his best (and succeeding) to accomodate our schedule and working in sync with a few other contractors at all times. Top notch work, clean, precise, etc. We are very happy that Mike and the crew helped us with our electrical needs. We will gladly keep you in mind when additional work is needed. We have already and will continue to recommend your business to others.
Hi Anthony, Your guys just finished the job and left, and I just want to thank you and let you know what a pleasure it was having them here. They were really fantastic! I’ll put the check in the mail first thing tomorrow.
Thank you for the prompt efficient manner in which my repair was done. The tech arrived in the scheduled time slot. He analyzed the problem, relayed any concern about safety, and promised the repair would be completed by the end of the day. Chris and his assistant were polite, professional, and courteous as they did the repair. They answered all my questions and went the extra mile to get the job finished. Thank you and well done!
To whom it may concern, In the planning process of removing an interior wall and renovating our kitchen, we have been interviewing various trades’ people, including general contractors, cabinet makers, electricians, plumbers, glass & mirror people, flooring specialists, etc. In the hours of interviewing, while I found most of the people to be knowledgable in their craft, too many were not good businessmen and most lacked good customer relation skills. Having worked in business my entire adult life, I found the overall experience unpleasant. The one exception out of close to two dozen individuals was your foreman, Mike McKenna. He was the first one I enjoyed having in my home, and with whom I enjoyed chatting. He did not come across as a “bs” artist. He also did not have the attitude, as others had when they showed up, that I had already taken up too much of their time, and they seemed to have one foot out the door when they arrived. He was knowledgable, but more than that, he was pleasant! He was appropriately interested, informative, insightful, and had useful comments. It was a rare, enjoyable experience. Renovating one’s home is an intimate experience. It is helpful that anyone coming in is sufficiently professional, pleasant, and respectful.
Hey Mike, I got a chance to get out there and see the job. Those guys are great! Very clean, super neat, and it’s hard to tell they were ever inside the house except for the neat wiring they did. Thanks a lot. Your guys are the best contractors in Westchester!
