Should you wait? Or should you call immediately? Here's how to tell:

Your house is the only one on your street without power = emergency situation

When many homes lose power, the problem is a blown transformer or downed power lines. That's for the utility business to work on, and there's not much we can do about it.

However when you're the only one without power, that's an indication something's gone wrong on your end. If you turn the breakers and validated that you paid your electric costs this month, and you're still without power, give us a call. You have got a problem only a skilled electrical expert can resolve.

You smell something burning, or you see brown marks on your outlets = emergency situation

Never a good indication. Disconnect everything attached to that outlet. Flip the breaker to shut off power to the outlet and call us right now.

At the very least, the outlet needs to be changed. Likewise, you'll want us to determine whether there are other problems in your system that might trigger comparable dangers.

Your electrical box is singing to you = emergency situation

Despite how you view the noise, it is usually a sign of a breaker that's refusing to trip. Breakers are supposed to trip when the circuit overheats. If the breaker is failing to do its task, then your electrical wiring is dealing with heat and power loads it was never indicated to deal with. Shut off all power and call us immediately.

The breakers keep tripping = emergency situation

This indicates one of three things: your electrical system is getting overloaded, you've got a short circuit, or you have got a ground fault. Several components of your electrical system may have failed to produce those issues.

The very first is reasonably safe, however it's a tip your system needs an update. That is particularly true in older houses, which aren't meant to run nearly as lots of electronic devices as we now count on every day. The 2nd 2 are very dangerous, and require attention immediately.
