Emergency Services We Handle

Burning Smells & Smoke

A burning or "fishy" smell from outlets, switches, or your panel indicates overheating wiring or arcing. This is a fire hazard that requires immediate diagnosis and repair.

Sparking & Arcing Outlets

Visible sparks when plugging in devices, discolored outlet plates, or buzzing sounds indicate dangerous arcing that can ignite surrounding materials.

Total Power Outages

If only your home has lost power while neighbors still have electricity, the problem is in your electrical system -- a failed main breaker, damaged service cable, or panel failure.

Tripping Main Breaker

A main breaker that keeps tripping indicates a serious overload or short circuit in your system. Repeatedly resetting it can cause further damage or fire.

Water & Electrical Contact

Flooding, roof leaks, or burst pipes near electrical outlets, panels, or wiring create an electrocution and fire hazard. Do not touch any affected areas.

Storm & Wind Damage

Downed power lines, damaged weather heads, or lightning strikes to your electrical system. We make safe and coordinate with the utility for permanent repair.

Signs of an Electrical Emergency

If you notice any of these signs, stop using the affected circuit and call an electrician immediately.

Burning smell from an outlet, switch, or panel. This "melting plastic" or acrid odor means wiring insulation is overheating. It can quickly escalate to a fire if not addressed.
An outlet or switch plate is hot to the touch. Warm is a problem. Hot is an emergency. Something behind the wall is generating dangerous heat from a loose connection or overloaded wire.
Sparks fly when you plug something in. An occasional tiny spark can be normal, but large sparks, repeated sparking, or sparks accompanied by a popping sound indicate a failing outlet or loose wiring.
Your panel is buzzing, humming, or crackling. Normal panels are silent. Any noise from inside the panel box indicates loose connections, failing breakers, or internal arcing that produces fire-starting heat.
You received an electric shock from an outlet or appliance. Even a mild shock means there is a ground fault or wiring problem. Stronger shocks can be fatal -- stop using the circuit immediately.
Lights are flickering throughout the house. A single flickering light may just need a new bulb. But whole-house flickering indicates a loose service connection, failing main breaker, or utility feed problem.

"We smelled something burning near our electrical panel late on a Saturday night. Called Power Man Electric and they were at our house within 40 minutes. Found a loose connection that was arcing and overheating. Fixed it on the spot. I hate to think what could have happened if we had waited until Monday. These guys are the real deal."
