When to Call for Emergency Service
If you experience any of the following, don't wait—call us immediately for fast, professional help:
Partial Power Outage
Power is out in part of your house but not all of it, indicating a potential panel or circuit issue.
Sparking or Burning Smell
Sparks from outlets, switches, or your panel, or a burning smell near any electrical component.
Exposed or Damaged Wiring
Visible wires that are frayed, chewed, or otherwise exposed, creating a serious shock and fire hazard. Proper ventilation can also help prevent moisture-related wiring damage.
Water Near Electrical
Flooding, leaks, or water intrusion near outlets, panels, or wiring that could cause electrocution. After repairs, consider adding surge protection to guard against damage.
Panel Hot to Touch
If your electrical panel feels warm or hot, it could indicate a dangerous overload or failing components.
Storm Damage
Loss of power during a storm, downed lines near your property, or damage to your electrical service entrance. Consider a generator installation with a transfer switch for reliable backup power.
