When to Call an Emergency Electrician
Not every electrical problem is an emergency. But these situations require immediate professional attention — don’t try to fix them yourself:
- Burning smell from an outlet, switch, or panel — Turn off the breaker and call immediately. This indicates arcing or overheating.
- Sparking outlet or switch — Small blue sparks when plugging in are normal. Sustained sparking, yellow/white sparks, or sparks with a burning smell are an emergency.
- Partial power loss — If you lose power to half your house but the other half still works, you likely have a lost neutral — a dangerous condition that can damage appliances and start fires.
- Water near electrical equipment — Flooding, burst pipe, or roof leak near your panel, outlets, or wiring? Don’t touch anything. Call us.
- Storm damage to your service entrance — Downed mast, loose weather head, or damaged meter base after severe weather.
- Electrical shock from an appliance or fixture — Even a mild shock indicates a wiring fault that could electrocute someone.
- Downed power line on your property — Stay 35 feet away. Call 911 first, then your utility. Read our full safety guide.
- Panel or breaker is hot to the touch — A warm breaker or panel cover is a fire hazard.
What to Do Right Now
- If there’s a fire or immediate danger — Call 911 first.
- Turn off the main breaker if you can safely reach your panel and there’s no water or fire near it.
- Don’t touch any damaged wiring, wet outlets, or sparking equipment.

Yes. Partial power loss usually indicates a lost neutral at your service entrance or a failed main breaker. This condition can send 240V to 120V circuits and damage your appliances. Turn off sensitive electronics and call us immediately.
Turn off the main breaker if you can safely do so. If the smell is strong or you see smoke, leave the house and call 911 first. Then call us at (320) 321-9699. A burning smell means active arcing or overheating — this is a fire in progress.
