Storm damage repair for homes and businesses across Mobile and Baldwin County: the electrical service the power company needs repaired before it reconnects you, storm-damaged air conditioning, flooded panels and equipment, generators that will not start, and the paperwork your insurer asks for. One licensed, locally owned crew for all of it, nights and weekends after a storm.
Call (251) 680-7500 Request Storm ServiceAfter a hurricane, most Mobile homeowners end up calling four companies: an electrician for the mast, an HVAC company for the condenser, a generator dealer for the unit that would not start, and a contractor to write something the adjuster will accept. Professional Systems is one of the few Gulf Coast contractors with licensed electrical, heating and air, a certified Generac® dealership and UL-listed lightning protection work under one roof. You call once, and the same crew that fixes the weather head looks at the air handler.
We have worked Gulf Coast storm seasons for more than 25 years, from the tropical storm that takes out a few masts in Saraland to the hurricane that puts half of Dauphin Island under water. The pages below cover the specific jobs we see after every storm, in the order the calls come in. Each one explains what is safe to do yourself, what has to wait for a licensed electrician or technician, and how the repair and the reconnection actually work.
If you see downed lines, smell burning or hear buzzing, stay away, keep people and pets clear, and call 911 or the power company first. Then call us.

The most common post-hurricane electrical job. The mast, weather head, service cable and meter base are the homeowner's property, and Alabama Power will not reconnect until a licensed electrician repairs them and the inspection passes. We repair them to code and coordinate the reconnection.
Before the main goes back on: flooded outlets, wet wiring, scorched panels and the circuits that should stay off until they are replaced. A licensed inspection with a written report.
Storm surge on the bay, Dog River, Fowl River, Dauphin Island and Bayou La Batre puts panels and receptacles under water. Submerged breakers and devices are replaced, not dried out, and the new panel goes in above the flood line.
Tipped condensers, fins crushed by debris, punctured coils, refrigerant-line breaks, flooded contactors and surge-fried boards, repaired or replaced, with elevated stands and tie-downs for the next one.
Portable-generator inlets and transfer switches so nobody back-feeds through a dryer outlet, emergency repair of generators that will not start (any brand), and standby installation from a certified Generac® dealer.
Photos, cause-of-loss notes and itemized written estimates in the form adjusters accept, for the electrical and HVAC parts of your claim. No coverage promises, just the paperwork done right.
Stay clear of downed lines and standing water near electrical equipment. If the house flooded or the mast is down, leave the main breaker off. If a generator is running, it must be outside and never plugged into a wall outlet.
A licensed electrician repairs the mast, weather head, cable and meter base, pulls the permit, and calls for the inspection. This is the step that unlocks reconnection; nothing else on the house gets power until it is done.
Flooded circuits, wet panels and damaged equipment are checked before the main goes on. Anything below the waterline is replaced. The HVAC system gets the same check before the thermostat is touched.
Power on, AC running, generator serviced, and a written, itemized record of every repair with photos, so the adjuster has what the claim needs.
One licensed local crew for the electrical, HVAC and generator work a storm leaves behind. A person answers, nights and weekends included.
When a watch or warning is issued for Mobile or Baldwin County, we stage trucks, stock masts, meter bases, weather heads, breakers, contactors, capacitors and generator parts, and clear the schedule. The day the roads open, crews run the calls in the order that gets power back fastest: service repairs first, then inspections, then equipment. During an active event the notice bar at the top of this site shows the current response time so you are not guessing.
If you are an existing standby-generator or maintenance-plan customer, you are on the priority list. If you are not, call anyway; a person answers, and we tell you honestly where you are in the queue and what you can do in the meantime.
Businesses get the same crew with a commercial focus: three-phase service restoration, temporary power for walk-in coolers and freezers, commercial generator repair and the re-entry inspection sequence that gets a restaurant or a clinic open before the competition.
A standby that is exercised, serviced and battery-tested in May is the one that starts in September. Plan customers get it done and get priority storm service.
An inlet box with an interlock or manual transfer switch, installed in half a day, so nobody runs a cord through the dryer outlet when the lights go out.
The flicker when the grid comes back kills boards in the air handler, the water heater and the appliances. A panel-mounted surge protector is the cheapest insurance on the house.
A condenser strapped to an anchored pad stays put; one on a stand above the flood line stays dry. An hour of work before the season.
The mast, the weatherhead, the meter base and the panel looked at before the wind tests them, with a written report of anything the next storm would find first.
Not our trade, but the single biggest cause of the mast repairs we do. Have limbs over the drop trimmed before June and the odds change.
We cover Mobile, Saraland, Semmes, Theodore, Prichard, Tillman's Corner and Dauphin Island, and across the bay in Daphne, Spanish Fort, Fairhope, Foley, Bay Minette, Orange Beach and Gulf Shores. Surge damage is heaviest on the Eastern Shore and the coast, so the Eastern Shore and coastal customers get the same crew, routed around through Bay Minette when the Causeway floods.
Headquartered on the I-65 Service Road in Mobile, licensed, bonded and insured in Alabama, with the same electricians and technicians year-round. We are not a storm-chasing crew that leaves in six weeks.
Frederic in 1979 took the service off half the houses in Mobile County. Ivan in 2004 and Katrina in 2005 put surge through Bayou La Batre, Dauphin Island and the bay neighborhoods. Sally in 2020 sat over Baldwin County for a day and left the Eastern Shore dark for a week; Zeta followed six weeks later and did it to Mobile. Every one of those storms produced the same first calls: masts down, meters off the wall, condensers on their sides, generators that would not start.
That history is why we stage masts, meter bases, weatherheads, breakers, contactors, capacitors and generator parts before the season instead of ordering them after, why our crews know the inspection offices and the utility release process by name, and why the pages below exist. They are the answers we have been giving on the phone for 25 years, written down.
"A storm came through and messed up the electric in our house. We got a quote quickly and they got us up and running fast! The guys did a great job and even helped us save money."
— Devan H., Google review"Came home late afternoon to find my power off. I called after hours and Robby was over in 15 min. It was a bad circuit breaker. From the time I saw I had no power til the time I had power back on was around 30 min. Amazing. Super nice guys as well."
— Gary S., Google review"They diagnosed a power issue that other companies weren't able to. The technician was extremely knowledgeable and professional, and explained everything very well. Also, I called them at 8 at night and got a human being on the phone!"
— Laura B., Google reviewBecause the damage is on your side of the meter. The weather head, service mast, service entrance cable and meter base belong to the homeowner, and the utility only reconnects to a service that a licensed electrician has repaired to code and the city or county has inspected. We make the repair, pull the permit and coordinate the reconnection.
As soon as roads are passable, with service repairs first because they unlock everything else. During an active event the notice bar on this site shows the current response time, and a person answers the phone nights and weekends.
Not if the house flooded, the mast is damaged, or anything smells burnt. Leave the main off and call. A post-storm electrical safety inspection finds the circuits that have to stay off and the ones that are fine.
Both. Our HVAC division repairs and replaces storm-damaged condensers, air handlers and ductwork, and inspects systems before they are turned back on. Flooded or saltwater-submerged equipment is a replacement call, and we explain why.
We document the damage with photos, write down the cause, and give you an itemized written estimate or invoice in the format adjusters work from. We cannot promise what your policy covers; we can make sure the electrical and HVAC part of the claim is complete.
Yes. Portable-generator inlets and transfer switches right away, and standby generators as inventory allows. Demand spikes for 60 to 90 days after a landfall, so we tell you the real lead time up front.
No. There are no hourly or after-hours rates and no storm surcharge. Every job is quoted in writing before the work starts, the same as in March.
Yes, with the same crew: Daphne, Spanish Fort, Fairhope, Foley, Bay Minette, Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. When the Causeway floods and the Bayway closes we come around through Bay Minette and tell you the real time.
