Is your electrical issue an emergency?

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

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

When lots of houses lose power, the problem is a blown transformer or downed power lines. That's for the utility business to work on, and there's very little we can do about it.

When you're the just one without power, that's a sign something's gone incorrect on your end. If you flip the breakers and confirmed that you paid your electric bill this month, and you're still without power, give us a call. You've got an issue just an experienced electrical expert can fix.

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

Never an excellent sign. Disconnect whatever connected to that outlet. Turn the breaker to turn off power to the outlet and call us immediately.

Older outlets are particularly susceptible to becoming fire dangers. Loose screws, loose electrical wiring, rust, and used metal all can trigger heat buildup. At least, the outlet needs to be replaced. Also, you'll want us to identify whether there are other issues in your system that could cause comparable dangers.

Often you'll see the outlet trigger up. The spark will come and go quickly, however do not ignore it! One small spark now can start one deadly fire later.

Your circuit box is hot = emergency

That might be a hard one to capture, because most people don't communicate with their service panels quite on a day-to-day basis. But if you do take place to notice heat emanating from your circuit box it is essential to call us right now. Once again, that's is a fire waiting to take place.

Think it or not, this one normally isn't a hard repair. It's a sign of a bad breaker or a loose wire. Often it's a sign of a far more severe problem. A specialist needs to make that assessment.

Your electrical box is singing to you = emergency

Buzzing sounds from the breaker box are another sign of a loose wire or a bad breaker that can trigger a fire. To some people, that may sound more like a humming noise.

Regardless of how you perceive the sound, it is generally a sign of a breaker that's declining to trip. Breakers are expected to trip when the circuit gets too hot. Your electrical wiring is handling heat and power loads it was never suggested to deal with if the breaker is failing to do its job. Shut down all power and call us right now.

The breakers keep tripping = emergency situation

This implies one of 3 things: your electrical system is getting overloaded, you've got a short circuit, or you've got a ground fault. Several aspects of your electrical system may have gone wrong to produce those problems.

The very first is reasonably safe, however it's a hint your system requires an upgrade. That is particularly true in older houses, which aren't suggested to run nearly as lots of electronics as we now count on every day. The second 2 are extremely hazardous, and require attention right away.
