Help when you need it most.
An electrical problem at 2 a.m. is scary, but you are not on your own. When you call AK Heating & Cooling, a real person from our Warren-based team answers, day or night, weekend or holiday. We send a licensed electrician fast.
Some electrical problems can wait for a regular appointment. Others cannot. A burning smell, sparking outlet, buzzing panel, or sudden loss of power to part of your home are signs you need help right away. These are not problems to "wait and see" on.
We are a licensed Ohio electrical contractor, license #38179, fully insured, and part of the AK family of companies. One call gets you a real licensed electrician, not an answering service that takes a message and a subcontractor who shows up days later.

What to do right now.
How an AK Heating & Cooling visit works.
Your safety comes first. If you have an electrical emergency, follow these steps before we arrive.
- 1
If you smell smoke or see fire, get out
Do not investigate. Get everyone out of the house, then call 911 from outside. Once you are safe, call us at (330) 469-6701 so we can help with the electrical side once the fire department clears the home.
- 2
Kill the power if it is safe
If you can reach your main breaker safely and your hands and the area are dry, switch off the main to cut power to the home. Do not touch the panel if it is wet, buzzing loudly, or sparking. When in doubt, leave it and call us.
- 3
Never touch a downed line
After a storm, treat every downed or sagging line as live and deadly. Stay far back, keep kids and pets away, and call your utility and 911. Do not drive over lines or move them yourself.

Call our 24/7 line
Once everyone is safe, call (330) 469-6701. A real local person answers any hour. Tell us what you are seeing and we will guide you and get a licensed electrician headed your way.

Frequently asked.
What counts as an electrical emergency?
Anything that signals fire risk or live danger is an emergency. That includes a burning or smoky smell, sparking outlets or panels, a buzzing electrical panel, scorch marks, or outlets that are hot to the touch. Partial power loss and a main breaker that will not reset also need fast attention. If you are not sure, call (330) 469-6701 and we will help you decide.
Half my house lost power but the rest works. Is that urgent?
Yes, this is worth a call right away. When only part of your home goes dark, it often points to a failing main connection, a loose neutral, or a serious panel problem. These can damage appliances and, in some cases, create a fire risk. Do not keep flipping breakers to force it back on. Call us so a licensed electrician can find the real cause safely.
My main breaker tripped and will not reset. What do I do?
A main breaker that trips and refuses to reset is the breaker doing its job and protecting you from a real problem. Do not keep forcing it on, since that can be dangerous. Leave it off, keep everyone clear of the panel, and call (330) 469-6701. There may be a short, an overload, or a failing component that needs a licensed electrician to diagnose.
A storm knocked down a line near my house. Who do I call?
Treat every downed line as live and deadly, even if it looks dead. Stay far away, keep children and pets back, and call 911 and your power utility first, since the line on the pole side is theirs. Once the area is safe and power is cleared, call us at (330) 469-6701 for any damage to your home's service entrance, meter base, or wiring. We will get your home safe and back online.
Do you really answer 24/7, even on holidays?
Yes. Electrical emergencies do not keep business hours, and neither do we. A real member of our local team answers nights, weekends, and holidays. We serve Warren, Youngstown, Boardman, Canfield, Austintown, Niles, and the rest of Trumbull, Mahoning, Portage, Ashtabula, and Columbiana counties. Call (330) 469-6701 any time.

What NE Ohio says about AK Heating & Cooling
4.9 avg· 72+ reviews
“Furnace went out on a Sunday night. AK had a tech in the driveway in 90 minutes, parts on the truck, and we were warm before kids' bedtime. Worth every dollar of the maintenance plan.”
“Our restaurant walk-in went down at 6am. AK answered the after-hours line on the second ring and had us running before lunch service. We've switched all of our refrigeration work to them.”
“Had Generac install, AC tune-up, and a humidifier swap done across two visits. One bill, one company, real techs. This is what local service is supposed to feel like.”
Clark's Tip · Power Outage Safety
Know where your main breaker is before you need it
In an emergency, you do not want to be hunting for your electrical panel in the dark. Take two minutes today to find it, usually in the basement, garage, or a utility closet, and make sure the path to it is clear. Knowing how to shut off your main power fast can stop a small problem from becoming a big one. Keep a flashlight nearby too, not a candle.
