Power outages, sparking outlets, and panel failures put your family and property at risk. Connect instantly with local emergency electricians ready to dispatch now.
Understanding home electrical failures and how to handle them before help arrives.
If an outlet is sparking, smoking, or has burn marks, stop using it immediately. Turn off the breaker controlling that circuit at your main panel. Do not plug anything else into the outlet. Contact the emergency hotline right away to have a professional electrician dispatched for immediate repair.
If your entire home loses power while neighbors still have electricity, check your main breaker first. If the breaker has tripped, reset it once. If it trips again immediately, leave it off and contact the emergency hotline. Do not attempt to investigate wiring issues yourself. A licensed electrician will diagnose the fault safely.
A humming or buzzing breaker panel, or switches that feel warm to the touch, indicate a serious wiring fault or overloaded circuit. Turn off all non-essential circuits at the breaker panel and do not touch the panel if you see scorch marks or smell burning plastic. Contact the emergency hotline immediately for priority dispatch.
After severe weather, if you see downed power lines near your property, stay at least 35 feet away and call 911 first. Do not attempt to move lines or drive over them. If water is contacting any electrical equipment, evacuate the area immediately. Contact the emergency hotline once the area is safe for an emergency electrician to restore service.
Know where your breaker panel is before disaster strikes. This knowledge can prevent electrocution and fire damage.
Usually located in the garage, basement, or utility room. The large double-switch at the top or side is the main disconnect — flipping it cuts power to the entire house.
Each switch controls a specific circuit. If a single outlet or room has an issue, flip only that breaker to de-energize the affected circuit while keeping the rest of the home powered.
Some homes have a secondary disconnect near the electric meter outside. This is used by utility workers and electricians for full service isolation during major repairs.
Pro Tip: Walk through your home today and locate your breaker panel. Label each breaker with the room it controls. When an electrical emergency happens at 2 AM, you'll thank yourself for being prepared.
