When to Call for Emergency Service
If you experience any of these warning signs, do not delay — turn off affected circuits at the panel if safe, and call us right away.
Burning Smell
A burning plastic smell from an outlet, switch, or panel signals overheating wiring or a failing component — fire risk is real.
Sparking or Arcing
Visible sparks from outlets, switches, or your panel mean a connection has failed. Shut off the breaker and call immediately.
Partial Power Loss
Half your home dark while the other half works often indicates a lost neutral or main feed problem — can damage every device on the energized side.
Storm Damage
After a storm: downed service wires, damaged meter base, water-soaked panel, or weather-head separation all require immediate professional repair.
Smoking or Hot Outlets
Outlets, switches, or panels that smoke or are hot to the touch are seconds from failure. Turn off the breaker and call.
Repeated Tripped Breakers
A breaker that keeps tripping is doing its job — protecting you from a real fault. Repeated trips need diagnosis, not a reset.
Before We Arrive
-
1
Get to safety. If you see smoke, fire, or sparks — exit the building and call 911 first.
-
2
Shut off the affected breaker if you can safely reach the panel. If the panel itself is the problem, leave it alone and call us.
-
3
Stay clear of water near any electrical issue. If wiring is wet, do not touch anything until power is confirmed off.
