Is your electrical problem an emergency?

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

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

When numerous houses lose power, the issue is a blown transformer or downed power lines. That's for the utility company to work on, and there's not much we can do about it.

However when you're the only one without power, that's a sign something's failed on your end. If you turn the breakers and confirmed that you paid your electric expense this month, and you're still without power, give us a call. You've got a problem only a knowledgeable electrical contractor can resolve.

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

Never a good indication. Unplug everything connected to that outlet. Turn the breaker to switch off power to the outlet and call us right now.

Older outlets are particularly prone to ending up being fire threats. Loose screws, loose wiring, rust, and worn metal all can cause heat accumulation. At the minimum, the outlet needs to be replaced. You'll want us to identify whether there are other problems in your system that might trigger similar threats.

Often you'll see the outlet stimulate up. The spark will reoccur rapidly, but don't ignore it! One little trigger now can begin one fatal fire later.

Your electrical box is singing to you = emergency situation

Buzzing sounds from the breaker box are another indication of a loose wire or a bad breaker that can cause a fire. To some individuals, that may sound more like a humming sound.

Despite how you perceive the noise, it is normally a sign of a breaker that's declining to trip. When the circuit gets too hot, Breakers are expected to trip. If the breaker is stopping working to do its job, then your circuitry is dealing with heat and power loads it was never indicated to handle. Shut down all power and call us immediately.

The breakers keep tripping = emergency

The very first is relatively harmless, but it's a tip your system requires an update. That is especially true in older houses, which aren't indicated to run almost as lots of electronics as we now count on every day. The 2nd 2 are incredibly dangerous, and require attention right now.
