When to Call a 24-Hour Emergency Electrician
At some point, we all encounter an electrical issue. Whether it’s serious like outdated wiring or minor like a broken power socket, electrical problems need timely attention to avoid potential fire risks. If you notice an electrical fault that poses a threat to your safety, our emergency electrician services are here to help.
If you’re unsure when to call an emergency electrician, here are situations that definitely warrant our attention:
Power Outages
- The primary cause of power outages is an electrical system failure. With many people working from home, the demand for electricity has increased. Your heating appliances can also overload your system when temperatures fall. If you frequently experience this issue, it’s best to have a professional inspect your property. Total power loss can be dangerous, especially if it affects your heating or if there’s a vulnerable individual at home. Whatever your emergency, contact us and we’ll promptly ensure your home’s safety.
Burning Smell from an Outlet, Switch, or Fuse Box
- Overloading a power outlet can cause it to heat up and even burn, resulting in a burnt smell and marks around the outlet. If you notice a burnt outlet, call an electrician immediately. Avoid touching the outlet as it could be extremely hot. Immediate repair is necessary to prevent a serious electrical fire and costly repairs. If you see smoke from a socket or detect a burning smell, turn off your power supply and contact an emergency electrician.
Sparks from Outlets
- Sparks from any source are alarming, especially from power outlets. If you’re facing this situation, call a professional immediately.
Frequent Tripping of Circuit Breakers
- If a circuit breaker trips constantly, it’s a clear sign of a problem. You might have a faulty appliance or unknown wiring issues at home.
Hissing or Loud Buzzing from the Electrical Panel
A buzzing electrical panel is never a good sign. If you hear a loud noise from yours, you’re likely dealing with a faulty circuit breaker that requires immediate attention.
Flickering Lights
If your lights start to flicker and it’s not due to a bulb issue, you’re likely facing a poor connection along the circuit, which can lead to sparking, overheating, and fire.
Hot Ceiling Fixtures
Hot fixtures are not normal. If your fixtures are hot to touch, you likely have a wiring issue or you’ve used the wrong type of bulb. This should not be ignored even if the new fixtures are hard to reach.
Power Cut Off in Kitchen
If you’re experiencing power cuts in your kitchen, you might have issues with your fuse box or the wiring connected to it. A faulty oven socket can be disastrous when you’re caring for your family. Regardless of the situation, experienced electricians will handle the issue.

Electrical Fire

Even if you manage to put out the fire, you should still call an emergency electrician to inspect the damage and ensure the safety of your electrical system.
