When to call
Electrical emergencies we handle
Most of our emergency calls come from operations that cannot wait for Monday: dairies with cows waiting to be milked, digesters that have to keep running, and businesses that lose money every hour the power is off.
Common calls
Unsafe, or stopping the work
If something is smoking, sparking, or wet, or it has shut down equipment you cannot run without, it is an emergency. We would rather take the call and tell you it can wait than have you guess.
- Main or feeder breaker that will not hold
- Burning smell or heat at a panel
- Motor or VFD that will not restart
- Milking parlor or vacuum pump down
- Digester or biogas equipment offline
- Loss of one phase on a 3-phase service
- Storm, vehicle, or water damage
- Control panel or PLC faults
- Generator or transfer switch failure
- Lights or power out to part of a building
Before we arrive
What to do right now
A few minutes of the right steps keeps people safe and usually gets you running sooner.
- Keep people clear. Stay away from anything sparking, smoking, wet, or physically damaged. If there is fire or a line on the ground, call 911 and your utility first.
- Reset once, not twice. A breaker that trips again straight away is telling you something. Repeated resets can turn a repair into a replacement.
- Shut down what is affected. If it is safe, turn off the equipment on the failed circuit so it does not restart on its own when power comes back.
- Write down fault codes. Drives, soft starters, and PLCs usually show a code. A photo of the display and the panel helps us bring the right parts.
- Call us. (970) 685-2068. Tell us what failed, what you have tried, and whether anything is unsafe.
Lost power to a whole dairy or plant? Our power outage emergency checklist covers the restart order, and the motor or drive tripping checklist helps when one piece of equipment will not come back.

Fixed, then fixed properly
We get you running first. If the cause needs a permanent repair, you get a plain explanation and a quote, not a surprise.

Questions
Emergency electrical service, answered plainly
Do you take emergency electrical calls after hours?
Yes. Call (970) 685-2068 any time, day or night, including weekends. You will talk to the electrician, not an answering service, and we will tell you straight away whether we can come out and when.
What counts as an electrical emergency?
Anything that is unsafe or stopping production: a burning smell or smoke from a panel, a breaker or main that trips again as soon as it is reset, a downed or damaged line, equipment that took water, or a motor, drive, or control panel that has shut down a milking parlor, digester, or production line.
What should I do before you get there?
Keep people clear of anything sparking, smoking, wet, or damaged, and do not reset a breaker more than once. If it is safe, shut off the affected equipment, write down any fault codes on drives or controllers, and take photos of the panel. If a line is down or there is fire, call 911 and your utility first.
Do you handle residential emergencies?
Our focus is farms, dairies, plants, and commercial buildings, and that work gets priority. Call anyway: if we are not the right fit we will say so quickly so you can get someone else on the way.
What areas do you cover for emergency calls?
We are based in Milliken, so Greeley, Windsor, Johnstown, Evans, Platteville, Fort Lupton, Loveland, Fort Collins, and Longmont are all within reach. Farther out depends on the job and the time; call and ask.
Are you licensed?
Yes. Vili Power Solutions LLC holds Colorado Electrical Contractor license EC.0103898 and the work is run by a Colorado Master Electrician (ME.3001588). Emergency repairs that need a permit get one.
