What is Considered an Electrical Emergency?
Sometimes, it's not immediately obvious whether you're facing an emergency electrical issue or just a minor inconvenience that can wait for a scheduled service. Issues with wiring, for instance, can escalate into real emergencies. If you're uncertain about the severity of your electrical problem, don't hesitate to give us a call at Electrician Near Me Experts LLC. We're here to help diagnose your situation. Remember, you're not alone in this. We'll guide you through identifying common signs of an electrical emergency. We offer same day electrical service.
Unidentified Burning Smell
Do you have an unidentifiable burning smell in your home? This can be an indicator that your wires are shorting in the walls. These electrical smells in your home are often an indicator of a bigger problem. Our electrical contractors offer same day service in Richardson and surrounding areas. You will have an electrician review the area, identify the source of the electrical smell, and give you options on what you can do to fix it. This will put the power back in your hands and give you the resources you need to keep your home safe.
A Buzzing or Humming Sound in Breaker Box
Generally, a mild humming noise from your breaker box is normal since it's conducting an electrical current. But if you start noticing that the buzzing or humming is progressively getting louder, it's important to take swift action. This could indicate that the circuit breaker is overloaded. An overloaded circuit heats up the wiring, which can potentially lead to a serious fire hazard. Emergency electrical service is needed to address buzzing sounds, that are an indicator of danger.
Circuit Breaker Keeps Tripping Repeatedly
There are a few reasons for a circuit breaker to keep tripping, including:
-
The circuit breaker box is going bad
-
A circuit overload the breaker box cannot accommodate
-
A ground fault is occurring, meaning a hot wire is touching the ground
-
An appliance or wire is short-circuiting, meaning the electrical flow has gone outside the intended circuit
Lights Continuously Flicker
If your lights occasionally flicker, it’s possibly a minor problem with your lightbulb or a bad switch. When they persistently flicker this will signal a more substantial problem such as a circuit overload, excess voltage, or loose wiring. These are dangerous and should have an inspection immediately.
Someone Received an Electrical Shock
There are many situations where one can experience electrical shock, such as:
-
Old outlets that are two-prong and therefore have no ground wire as a safety barrier
-
An outlet or switch with loose screws or wiring makes the electrical current unstable
-
Faulty appliances, including frayed wiring or broken cords that shock you when you plug them in
-
Water sources near electricity, or touching outlets with damp hands
Smoke Coming from an Outlet
A common issue with outlets is when debris builds up within. Electricity transfers to the dust and/or dirt, which causes arcing. Arcing creates heat, which is an immediate indicator of an electrical emergency that may start a fire. Other problems that can cause outlets to smoke include wiring issues, loose plug-in connections, and connecting too many devices to one outlet.
Loss of Power
It’s normal to experience loss of power from storms or when everyone on the block loses power due to a problem with the electrical company. But when you’ve paid your monthly bill, and you’re the only one in the vicinity to lose power, it could be a hazardous problem with your breaker box that needs immediate diagnosis. You may need to upgrade your panel and Electrician Near Me Experts can help. We offer electrical service in Plano and surrounding areas with same day service available and price options to help.
Wet Electrical Panel
When water mixes with electricity, there is a high potential for electrocution. Water can get into your electrical panel through an improper seal on the box or soak through older cables of a meter box and through to the panel. If this has been happening for a longer period, corrosion can ruin multiple components of your electrical panel and increase resistance in the circuits causing more heat production, thus also creating a fire hazard. Have an electrical contractor review your panel and ensure your home is safe.
An Electrical Fire Occurred
If a fire is actively burning, you’ll first need to call 911 and get the fire put out immediately. Once there is no longer an immediate threat to your home or family, call your local emergency electrician. We’ll inspect and diagnose the source of the fire before performing repairs and putting preventative measures in place or replacing the system if it has been fully compromised.
How Much Does an Emergency Electrician Cost?
It’s understandable to be hesitant in calling an emergency electrician due to being unsure of the cost. You can, however, rest easy because at Electrician Near Me Experts LLC we pride ourselves on providing quality electrical service at a fair and honest price. We offer transparent upfront pricing with price options. So, you can choose the package best suited for your budget. We also provide financing if needed.
What Makes Up the Cost of An Emergency Electrical Repair?
Multiple components contribute to the cost of hiring an emergency electrician. Here are factors that impact the cost:
​
-
Time - You can expect your electrician to bill for their time, so you should inquire as to whether the charges are a flat rate or by the hour.
-
Expertise - The experience of your electrician will factor into your pricing – whether they’re an apprentice, journeyman, or master electrician.
-
Parts Required - Replacement parts factor into your cost. Depending on the parts you need, you can anticipate cost better. For example, replacing one faulty wire will cost less than rewiring an entire system.
Is It Safe to Do Your Own Emergency Electrical Repairs?
In some cases, minor electrical repairs may be a DIY project, however, we recommend that you do not DIY. In the case of electrical emergencies, you’re already facing a higher likelihood of electrical fire because something has gone majorly wrong, which makes attempting any repairs yourself a dangerous undertaking.

Circuit Breakers

Power Outages and Power Surges
When power surges happen, from weather conditions or a sudden return of power after an outage, there is an abrupt rise in the voltage. Your electrical system is unexpectedly running too much electricity through the wires. This happens when the circuit breaker couldn’t handle the excess electricity, making anything plugged into the electrical system susceptible to burning out.
Electrical Panels Repair
​
As a complex system, determining the underlying cause of an electrical panel malfunction without a professional electrician is difficult to do. Signs of an electrical panel emergency include:
-
Appliances either not working or not working well

Consistently tripping breakers
-
Breaker box crackles or loud buzzing noises
Generator Repair
