What to Do Right Now

If you have an electrical emergency and it's safe to do so, these steps can help keep your home and family safe until we arrive:

Common Questions

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What counts as an electrical emergency?▾
Call an emergency electrician right away if you notice a burning or fishy smell, smoke, sparking or buzzing outlets, hot or discolored outlets and switch plates, a breaker that won't reset or keeps tripping, exposed or damaged wiring, or a partial or complete loss of power that isn't a utility outage. These can indicate a serious fire or shock hazard.
What should I do while I wait for the electrician?▾
If it's safe to do so, turn off the affected circuit at your breaker panel — or the main breaker if you're unsure which circuit. Unplug affected devices, keep people and pets away from the area, and do not touch anything that is sparking, smoking, or wet. If you see active flames or smell heavy smoke, leave the home and call 911 first.
Do you offer emergency electrical service after hours?▾
Electrical emergencies don't wait for business hours. If you have a genuine electrical hazard — burning smell, sparks, or unsafe power loss — call (262) 229-7754 and we'll respond as quickly as we can across Pewaukee and Southeastern Wisconsin.
My breaker keeps tripping and won't reset — is that an emergency?▾
A breaker that immediately trips again when you reset it is protecting you from a real problem — often an overloaded circuit, a short, or a ground fault. Don't keep forcing it back on. Leave it off and call us to safely diagnose the cause. If this is a recurring problem, your panel may need attention — see our panel upgrade service.
How much does an emergency electrician cost?▾
It depends on the problem and the time required to make it safe. We'll always explain the issue and give you a clear price before doing the work. When you call, we can also tell you how urgent your situation is and what to do in the meantime.
