Watch for these signs that your home needs emergency electrical services.

Power outage

If your entire home or specific areas lose power and the homes around you still have power, there may be an underlying problem requiring urgent attention, such as damaged wiring or faulty circuits.

Burning smell

Burning smells from your outlets, switches, electrical panels, or other electrical equipment can indicate overheating circuits or wiring problems. 

Electrical shocks

Sparks or electrical arcing can indicate electrical faults due to loose wiring connections, frayed wiring, exposed junction boxes, and other problems.

Sparks or arcing

If your outlets or switches emit sparks, are warm to the touch, or cause electrical arcs, they require immediate attention from an electrician. These issues often result from loose connections or damaged equipment.

Water exposure

After floods, leaks, or similar issues in your home, water may come in contact with your electrical system and pose serious safety and damage risks.

Natural damage

Wildfires, lightning storms, earthquakes, downed trees, and other external factors common to Los Angeles and California can cause surges and electrical shorts.

What basic troubleshooting steps can I try for electrical problems?

Several troubleshooting steps can help you determine if your electrical problems require emergency attention or not. These include:

• Checking for power outages in your area.
• Resetting tripped breakers.
• Inspecting equipment for frayed or damaged wires or burn marks.

What should I do until the emergency electrician arrives?

Prioritize safety in the event of an electrical emergency. Turn off power at your electrical panel if it’s safe to do so, then evacuate yourself and your household from the premises while waiting for your electrician. If necessary, contact emergency services. Your electrician can also provide you further guidance ahead of their arrival based on your unique situation.

How can I prevent electrical emergencies?

Regular maintenance and electrical inspections are key for minimizing the risk of electrical emergencies. Maintenance services help anticipate and address issues due to wear or aging, and your electrician can make repair or upgrade recommendations to remain compliant with local electrical codes.

Can I fix electrical problems myself during an emergency?

While basic troubleshooting measures can help you determine if you have an emergency or not, only licensed electricians should handle electrical problems. These professionals go through specific training to develop the skills and knowledge necessary for safe electrical system handling.
