What Is Considered An Electrical Emergency Requiring Immediate Help?

An electrical emergency is any issue that creates an immediate shock or fire risk and cannot wait. Call right away for sparking or smoking outlets, burning smells, hot or buzzing breaker panels, repeated breaker trips, partial or total power loss, exposed or damaged wiring, wet outlets after leaks, or generator/ATS failure during an outage. Circuit Makers Electric provides 24/7 emergency electrical repair, including wiring fixes, breaker replacements, outlet and lighting repairs, and outage troubleshooting.

• If safe, cut power at the main breaker.
• Keep away from water and metal.
• Do not touch sparking equipment.
