What Counts as an Electrical Emergency?

Any situation that puts you or your property in danger requires emergency electrical repair. This includes situations in which:

You’ve received an electric shock.
There’s a fire hazard, you smell a burning smell, or you see smoke or sparks.
There are hot outlets or switches, or they have scorch marks on them.
The power goes out in your home (not caused by a utility outage).

At Thermo Direct, we’d prefer you call us if there’s anything strange happening with your electrical system, even if you’re not certain it’s an emergency. We can send a technician to your home to repair the problem and provide a full safety check.

Common Electrical Emergencies We Fix

Some of the most common electrical emergencies we fix include:

Overloaded circuits: We resolve circuit breaker issues, like having too many high-wattage appliances in one circuit.
Breaker box issues: If all or half of your home loses power, there might be tripped breakers, a problem with the main breaker, or a loose connection at the meter. We also resolve physical breaker box damage, ground faults, corrosion, and more.
Aging systems: Older wiring and aging electrical systems can lead to loose connections, sparking, fraying, and failure, resulting in risk of shocks and fires.
Water damage: Flooding, burst pipes, and other water exposure can create electrocution risks and dangerous short circuits.
Power surges: Rarely, grid surges or lightning strikes can cause serious power surges that can damage your home’s electrical system, leading to fire hazards.

What to Do Before the Electrician Arrives

Once you call your local electrician, some steps you can take include:

Moving furniture and other items away from the electrical panel, outlets, and other work areas for easy access.
Try to document everything that’s concerning you, including sound or video recordings if possible. The more information the electrician has, the faster they can diagnose the issue.
Unplug nearby electronics and turn the power off at the breaker if safe to do so.

When an Emergency Electrical Repair Turns Into a Larger Upgrade

Sometimes, even a 24-hour electrician can’t rescue a failing electrical system. When repairs are no longer an option, we may recommend upgrading parts of your electrical system for your well-being, ensuring safer, more efficient operation. This may be the case if:

The breaker box is overloaded: If your electrical demand is more than your electrical panel can handle, you need an update.
Your home has an outdated fuse box: Fuse boxes aren’t as equipped to handle modern electrical demands as breaker panels are. Not only are they missing safety features, but they may also be affecting your home insurance costs.
You’re planning on major additions in the future: High-wattage appliances like new HVAC systems, hot tubs, EV chargers, and other additions to your home require dedicated circuits. If you’re planning on adding big appliances or electronics soon, upgrading is necessary.

Some signs you need an upgrade include:

Hot outlets and switches.
Frequently tripping breakers.
Burning smells, sparks, or crackling sounds.
Flickering lights or lights that dim when an appliance runs.
Not enough outlets for your needs.

Our electrical services include code-compliant upgrades and installations. If we believe your electrical system needs to be updated or your home wiring needs an upgrade, we’ll go over your options with you and help you make an informed decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I shut off the power to my home?

Turn the power off if you believe there’s any risk of danger, or before any construction or renovations begin. You may also want to shut specific circuits off if an appliance is malfunctioning to stop power to that part of the house.

Can electrical issues cause a fire?

Yes, in some cases, electrical problems can cause overheating or arcing electricity, which can ignite flammable materials. It’s important to address your electrical problems quickly, before they become fire hazards.

What information should I give when calling for emergency electrical service?

We will need to know your name, address, and contact information, as well as a clear description of the problem. Tell us if you have any immediate safety concerns, if you hear, smell, or see anything strange, and if you’ve taken any actions.
