Counts as an Electrical Emergency?
It can be tough to tell the difference between a minor issue and a genuine emergency. An emergency is any electrical problem that poses an immediate threat to your safety or property. If you’re feeling worried about something, it’s always better to be cautious and call a professional.
Here are some clear signs you have an electrical emergency on your hands:
- Sparks, smoke, or flames coming from any outlet, switch, or appliance.
- A persistent burning smell, like hot plastic or melting wires, with no obvious source.
- Circuit breakers that trip over and over again, even after you’ve reset them.
- A complete or partial loss of power that isn’t affecting your neighbors.
- Loud or constant buzzing, humming, or crackling sounds from your walls, outlets, or breaker panel.
- Any electrical outlets, switches, or faceplates that feel warm or hot to the touch.
- Flickering or dimming lights that happen frequently or in multiple rooms at once.
- Signs of water damage near your breaker panel, outlets, or any other electrical wiring.
- Receiving a mild shock or a tingling feeling when you touch an appliance or light switch.
When to Call for Emergency Electrical Help
Some situations can’t wait for a scheduled appointment. If you notice any of the following, it’s time to call our 24/7 emergency electrical service immediately.
You See Sparks or Smell Smoke
This is the most obvious sign of danger. Sparks mean electricity is arcing, or jumping through the air, which can instantly ignite surrounding materials like wood, insulation, or dust. A burning smell indicates that wire casings are melting, which is a direct precursor to a fire.
Your Circuit Breaker Keeps Tripping
A circuit breaker is a safety device. Its job is to shut off power when it detects a dangerous overload or a short circuit. If you reset it and it trips again right away, it’s doing its job and warning you of a serious underlying problem that needs professional attention.
You Hear Buzzing Sounds
Your electrical system should be silent. A buzzing or humming sound from an outlet, switch, or your breaker panel is a red flag. It often means there’s a loose connection or a component is failing, creating vibrations as the electrical current struggles to flow correctly.
Power Goes Out in Just Part of Your Home
If your whole neighborhood is dark, that’s a utility company issue. But if it’s just your house, or even just one section of your house, the problem is inside your system. This could point to a major failure in your main breaker or a specific circuit that powers a large part of your home.
