When to Call Us Right Now

If You See This, Don't Wait

Any of these signs is a real electrical emergency. Don't try to diagnose it yourself, don't unplug things, and don't open the panel. Call us and we'll talk you through it on the way.

🔥 Burning Smell from an Outlet or Panel

That's plastic insulation melting from overheating wires. It can ignite at any moment. Shut off the affected breaker if you can identify it safely, then call.

⚡ Sparks or Smoke from an Outlet

Any visible spark, arc, or smoke from a receptacle, switch, or panel means a connection is failing under load. Same-hour dispatch.

🌡 Outlet or Switch Plate Hot to the Touch

A face plate that's warm or hot is a hidden wiring fault. Don't touch it again. Kill the breaker that controls the room if you know which one.

⛔ Partial Outage — Half the House Dark

If half the house lost power but the rest is fine, you likely have a service-side issue (lost leg of the 240V feed). It can also fry appliances. Call us before things break.

🔊 Buzzing or Humming Panel

Loud buzzing from your main panel means a breaker or busbar is loaded and arcing. This is one of the most common causes of electrical fires. Same-day response.

🌳 Downed Service Line on Your Property

Treat any downed line as energized. Call Dominion Energy (or your utility) first to de-energize, then call us — we handle the mast, weatherhead, and panel side once safe.

Emergency Service FAQ

What counts as an electrical emergency?

Burning smell from an outlet or panel, sparking, visible smoke, hot switch covers, partial outage with the rest of the home still powered, a tripped main that won't reset, downed service line on your property, or a panel buzzing loudly. If you see flames or smoke, call 911 first, then us.

How fast can you respond in Columbia or the Midlands?

From our shop on Plumbers Road in 29203, we're typically 10–40 minutes from most Midlands addresses depending on time of day and where you are. We dispatch the closest licensed tech to your address and confirm an ETA when you call.

Do you charge extra for after-hours, weekends, or holidays?

Yes — emergency dispatch outside our normal hours (Monday–Friday 7am–5pm) carries an after-hours rate. We're upfront about it on the phone before we roll a truck, so you know the dispatch cost before we leave.

Should I shut off my main breaker before you arrive?

If there's an active fire risk — burning smell, smoke, sparking that hasn't stopped — yes. Otherwise leave it alone and we'll handle it on arrival. Never touch a panel that's wet, hot to the touch, or visibly damaged.

What if a tree took out my service line?

Downed service line on your property is a real emergency. Don't approach it. Call Dominion Energy or your utility first to de-energize the line, then call us — we handle the mast, weatherhead, meter base, and panel repair side once the line is safe.

Do you work on Sundays and holidays?

Yes — 24/7/365 for true electrical emergencies. Our dispatch line answers around the clock and we keep a licensed electrician on call every night and holiday.

Don't wait. Electrical fires happen fast.
