Urgent Electrical Problems We Repair

Notice any of these signs? Don’t wait for it to get worse. Contact PowerUp Electric’s licensed residential electricians today to prevent further damage and protect your home.

Burning Smell Or Smoke From Outlets Or Panels

A burning smell, smoke or a discolored outlet can mean overheating wiring. Treat it as urgent. If you see flames or smoke, call 911 first, then call us.

Sparking Or Hot Outlets & Switches

Sparks, popping sounds, or an outlet or switch that’s hot to the touch can mean loose or damaged wiring. Stay away from it and call us.

Electrical Shock Or Tingling

Feel a shock or tingle from an appliance, outlet or fixture? Stop using it and call us.

Damaged Or Exposed Wiring

Frayed, chewed or exposed wires are a fire and shock risk. We make the repair safely.

Power Outage In Part Of Your Home

Lights out in one room or half the house while the neighbors still have power? That points to a problem with your wiring, breaker or panel, not the utility. We find the cause and restore power safely.

Flickering Or Dimming Lights That Get Worse

Lights that flicker or dim repeatedly can point to a loose connection or an overloaded circuit. It’s worth getting checked before it becomes a hazard.

Emergency Breaker Panel Problems

A breaker that keeps tripping or won’t reset, or a panel that’s hot, buzzing or humming, needs attention now. We handle emergency breaker and electrical panel repair.

Power Surge Damage

After a power surge, we check your breakers, panel and affected circuits.

What counts as an electrical emergency?

Burning smells or smoke, sparking, shocks, a hot or buzzing panel or outlet, exposed wiring, or losing power to part of your home. Not sure? Call us and we’ll tell you if it can wait.

Is a power outage an electrical emergency?

It can be. If your neighbors are also out of power, it’s likely a utility outage, so contact your electric utility. If only part of your home lost power, or there’s a burning smell or sparking, the problem is inside your home and we can help.

Is a single dead outlet an emergency?

Usually not, unless it’s hot, sparking or smells burnt.

What should I do while I wait for the electrician?

Stay clear of anything sparking, hot or smelling like it’s burning, and keep children and pets away. Don’t reset a hot breaker. If there’s smoke or fire, leave and call 911. For downed power lines, stay far away and call 911 and your utility.

Can I fix electrical emergencies myself?

Please don’t. Faulty wiring and panels can cause shock or fire, even with the breaker off. Leave it to a licensed electrician.
