Signs You Need This Service
Don't wait for a failure. Watch for these critical warning signs that your electrical system is struggling.
Burning Smell or Smoke
A hot-plastic or burning smell from an outlet, switch, panel or wall means something is overheating. Turn off that circuit at the panel and call right away. If you see smoke or flames, get out and call 911.
Sparks, Arcing or Scorch Marks
Sparks when you plug something in, buzzing at a switch, or brown and black marks on an outlet face are signs of a loose or damaged connection that can start a fire.
Breaker Trips and Will Not Reset
A breaker that snaps off the moment you reset it is protecting a short or a fault somewhere on that circuit. Do not keep resetting it.
Half the House Has No Power
When some rooms work and others do not, the cause can be a utility problem, a failing main breaker or a loose connection. Call your utility first to rule out their side, then call us.
Hot Panel or Hot Outlet Cover
A panel door, breaker or outlet cover that feels warm to the touch is not normal. Something behind it is carrying more heat than it should.
Storm Damage at the Mast
A leaning or torn-away service mast after wind, ice or a fallen branch has to be repaired by a licensed electrician before the utility can reconnect your power.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do first in an electrical emergency? +
If there is fire, smoke, or someone has been shocked, leave and call 911. If it is safe to reach your panel with dry hands while standing on a dry floor, switch off the breaker for that circuit, or the main breaker if you are not sure which one. Never use water on an electrical fire, and stay well away from any downed power line. Then call us at 763-200-5956.
Are you really available 24/7? +
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency electrical service. Call 763-200-5956 any time, day or night.
What counts as an electrical emergency? +
Anything that could start a fire or hurt someone if it waits until morning. That includes burning smells, sparks, scorched outlets, a hot panel, a breaker that will not reset, a shock from an outlet or appliance, and storm damage to the service mast. If you are not sure, call. We will tell you honestly if it can wait.
