1. Sparking Outlet or Switch
Stop using it. Do not plug anything in. If safe, switch the breaker for that circuit OFF. Do not remove the cover plate — arcing can reignite. Call for same-visit repair.
2. Burning / Fishy Smell Near Devices or Panel
That odor often means overheating plastic or failing breakers. Turn off the circuit if you can do so safely, ventilate, and call immediately. Never ignore it overnight.
3. Half the House Lost Power
Check whether neighbors are affected (utility outage) and test your main breaker — a tripped main that will not reset signals a panel or service fault. Do not repeatedly force it on.
4. Hot or Buzzing Panel
Do not touch it. Loose lugs overheat fast. Keep clear and request emergency dispatch — our techs thermal-scan panels on arrival.
5. After Flooding or a Fallen Line
Stay at least 30 feet from downed lines, assume all water near equipment is energized, and wait for professionals.
Our emergency crews reach metro zones in 60-90 minutes with stocked vans — request emergency dispatch.
