When to Call an Emergency Electrician
Some electrical issues are urgent and shouldn’t wait for a scheduled appointment. If you’re experiencing any of the following, call us immediately:
Call 911 First If:
There is an active electrical fire, someone has received an electrical shock, or you see downed power lines. Call 911 first, then call us for follow-up repair.
Common Electrical Emergencies
Complete Power Loss — If your home loses power but neighbors still have theirs, the issue is likely in your panel, meter, or main feed. We diagnose and repair same-day.
Sparking Outlets or Switches — Sparking is a sign of loose connections, damaged wiring, or overloaded circuits. Don’t use the affected outlet — call us immediately.
Burning Smell from Outlets or Panel — A burning smell means wire insulation is overheating. Turn off the breaker for that area and call us right away.
Tripped Main Breaker Won’t Reset — If your main breaker keeps tripping or won’t reset, there’s a serious fault in your system that needs professional diagnosis.
Partial Power Loss — If half your home loses power, you may have lost a leg of your 240V service. This requires immediate attention.
Exposed or Damaged Wiring — Storm damage, renovation accidents, or rodent damage to wiring needs immediate attention to prevent fire or shock.
Water & Electricity Contact — Flooding, leaks, or water intrusion near electrical components is extremely dangerous. Don’t touch anything wet — call us.
