We dispatch immediately to emergency situations, and our trucks arrive fully stocked so most emergency repairs can be completed in a single visit at any hour of the day or night.
Electrical Emergencies That Require Immediate Response
Not every electrical problem is an emergency, but some absolutely are. Burning or sparking at an outlet, junction box, or panel demands immediate action. Power loss to medical equipment, HVAC during extreme weather, or critical security systems is urgent. A circuit that trips instantly every time it is reset without a clear overload cause suggests a short circuit or fault that could damage wiring. Exposed wiring or a damaged service entrance cable are imminent hazards that must be addressed without delay.
What to Do Before Our Electrician Arrives
If you smell burning from an outlet or wall, unplug any devices near that area and avoid using that circuit. If you see sparking, turn off the circuit at the breaker if it is safe to reach the panel. If you cannot identify the source of a burning smell, turn off the main breaker and call us immediately. Do not attempt to open the electrical panel, replace wiring, or handle exposed conductors under any circumstances. Your safety comes first.
If you see flames from any electrical component or smell heavy burning and cannot locate the source, call 911 before calling us. Evacuate the building immediately, leave doors open as you go to slow potential fire spread, and do not re-enter until the fire department clears the structure. Your electrical system can be repaired. Your family cannot be replaced.
