Proximity matters on emergency calls. We are not routing from a regional hub.

Not sure if we cover your address?
The short answers. For anything else, one call or text settles it — the dispatcher can tell you in a minute.
Do you serve my town?
If it is in Cook, Lake, DuPage or McHenry County, almost certainly. Residential service covers the north and northwest suburbs from Evanston to Barrington and up to the Wisconsin line, and our trucks are spread across all four counties every day. If your town is not on the list, call — the dispatcher will tell you in a minute.
Do you work in the city of Chicago?
Yes. Coverage extends to downtown Chicago for larger buildings and multi-property portfolios, and residential calls inside the city are taken case by case depending on the neighbourhood and the day's schedule.
Is emergency service available everywhere you cover?
Emergency dispatch runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but coverage at the edges of the area depends on where the on-call technician is. Give the dispatcher the address and they will confirm a response time before anyone is sent.
Where are the trucks dispatched from?
From the Wheeling office at 160 W. Hintz Road — but the trucks do not wait there. They are spread out across the entire service area every single day, so the technician who comes to you is usually already nearby. There is no regional hub and no national call centre: the person who takes your call works with the technicians who come out.
