What Makes an Electrical Emergency?

- Your outlets or other electrical equipment is sparking or smoking

Are DIY Electrical Repairs a Good Idea?
While emergency electrical repairs need immediate attention, the complex and dangerous nature of electrical work makes it essential to leave these repairs to licensed professionals. Electrical systems carry enough power to cause fatal electrocution, and even minor mistakes can create hidden fire hazards that may not manifest until weeks or months later. Amateur electrical work also violates local building codes and can void your homeowner's insurance coverage.
Common Electrical Emergencies We Handle
Our emergency electricians are equipped to handle the full spectrum of electrical emergencies that threaten your home's safety and functionality. Here are the most common electrical emergencies we resolve for homeowners:
- Electrical Panel Malfunctions: When your electrical panel sparks, smokes, or trips breakers, we quickly diagnose and repair it to restore safe power in your home.
- Outlet and Switch Failures: Sparking outlets, dead circuits, or switches that shock or smoke indicate serious wiring problems that we repair immediately to prevent electrical fires.

Efficiency can be improved by using energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs, adding insulation to walls and attics, and sealing air leaks.
-
Signs of electrical service issues include flickering lights, frequent circuit breaker trips, hot or discolored electrical outlets or switches, buzzing sounds from outlets or switches, and burning smells. Another issue is improper outlets in the kitchen or bathroom – which should be GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) outlets. This is a shock-resistant outlet that acts as a safety measure and helps prevent fire hazards since water is a great conductor of electricity.
-
It is recommended that electrical service be inspected at least every 10 years to ensure that it is safe and up to code.
-
Some safety precautions include turning off the power supply before working on any electrical component, using insulated tools, wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), and following electrical codes and regulations.
-
A licensed electrician can perform an electrical load calculation to determine the right size of service needed for a home or business. This calculation takes into account the electrical needs of appliances, lighting, and other electrical devices.
