Electrical Emergencies We’re Ready to Address
Not every electrical issue qualifies as an emergency, but some require immediate attention to prevent fires, shocks or damage to your home’s electrical system. Here are some common situations that should have you calling an emergency electrician right away:
- Power Outages: If your neighbors still have power but your home is in the dark, you might have a tripped circuit breaker, a wiring issue or a problem with your electrical panel.
- Burning Smells or Smoke: A burning smell coming from outlets, switches or appliances could mean overheating or an electrical short. This is a serious fire hazard that needs urgent attention.
- Sparking Outlets or Switches: If you see sparks when plugging something in, your wiring may be failing. Ignoring it can lead to electrical fires.
- Flickering or Dimming Lights: If lights flicker even when appliances aren’t running, it could mean loose wiring or an overloaded circuit.
- Tripped Circuit Breakers That Won’t Reset: If your breaker keeps tripping, it’s trying to prevent a dangerous overload. Constant trips could signal a bigger electrical problem.
When any of these happen, call us for emergency electrical services. Electrical problems won’t fix themselves, and delaying repairs can put your home at risk.

What to Do in an Electrical Emergency
Electrical emergencies are unpredictable, but knowing what to do can make all the difference. Here’s how to handle an emergency before help arrives.
Shut Off Power If It’s Safe
If you notice sparks, smoke or unusual noises from an electrical device or outlet, immediately shut off power to that area. Find your breaker box and switch off the affected circuit. If you’re unsure which breaker controls the area, turn off the main power supply.
Stay Away From Sparks, Smoke or Water
If you smell burning or see smoke near an outlet or appliance, don’t touch anything. Unplugging a device or flipping a switch could make the situation worse. If water is involved — such as a flooded basement near electrical components — leave the area and call an expert right away.
