Need an Emergency Electrician?
You might be seeing signs of trouble like smoke and flickering lights, or maybe you’ve discovered you need to get your building up to code, on the double; whatever the case, you’ve got an electrical emergency of some kind.
Relax, because at SESCOS we provide 24-hour service, even during the holidays. Whether it’s a safety-related issue or just a need to get some wiring done by a strict deadline, we’re only a phone call away.
In this post, we’ll take a look at the top seven reasons you might need to call an emergency electrician.
7 Signs of Trouble
1 – Your power is out. It’s the middle of the night and you have no power, but it’s not a local power outage and you did pay your electric bill. In this case, figuring out what went wrong–and getting your lights, heat, and power back–is definitely something you want to get done, whatever the hour. A qualified electrician can check your system and have you back in business before the morning.
2 – You’re involved in a real estate transaction. You might be moving into a new house, or you’re selling your home and the transaction has to happen more quickly than you expected. That might be good news, but it also might mean you haven’t had a chance to get either home up to code yet. An emergency electrician can come out on nights and weekends to check the wiring and make sure it’s up to safety and local codes.
3 – You’ve bought a new appliance. If you’ve lugged home a new furnace or a brand-new hot tub, you’re anxious to get it plugged in and working away. But is your home’s wiring ready? You can’t trust that the installers sent by the retailer or manufacturer are experts in electricity. You need to call a professional electrician to determine if your home needs rewiring to accommodate your new toy.
4 – You’re involved in new construction. If you’re building a new home or adding an extension to your current one, don’t let your progress grind to a halt because you’re not sure if the electrical wiring is up to code. Call an electrician who will come out day or night and let you get on with your building.
5 – You’ve had some mayhem. A floor or fire can wreak severe damage on your electrical system, and in some cases, your insurance company won’t pay for the repairs until you have a qualified electrician come out, assess the damage and make any needed repairs. An electrician that offers 24-hour service will help get your life back on track.
6 – You’ve noticed some serious danger signs. You should raise the red alert and immediately call an emergency electrician when you spot:
- rusting or corrosion around your circuit panel.
- frayed or burnt wires in an appliance.
- “arcing,” which is tiny sparks of flame that come out of a socket.
- loose wiring or connections.
- a burning smell near any electrical parts.
- a humming noise from your electrical outlets.
7 – High winds have dropped trees on your power lines. If the power lines aren’t conveying incoming current, and aren’t owned by the power company, you may be responsible for clearing debris. A licensed electrician will provide the help you need to get this job done in a quick and safe manner.
