Not sure if you have an emergency on your hands? We’ve covered some of the most common ones below:
How do I know if I have an electrical problem that needs emergency attention?
Knowing when to call in a professional electrician is the first step to keeping you and your family safe in your home. While some issues can be resolved with a standard call-out, others require urgent attention. Here are some of the questions you may want to ask to decide if an emergency service is the right call:
- Is this electrical problem a risk to me and my family?
- Is it impossible to shut off my power until a standard call-out?
- Is there a smell of burning, or are my outlets hot to the touch?
What counts as an emergency electrical problem?
Sudden, localised power outages
A smoking or hot outlet
Outlets or light switches that are smoking or hot to the touch are at serious risk of starting an electrical fire. An emergency electrician needs to come out and fix the problem as soon as possible to keep your house safe, and you may need to turn off all power in the meantime if possible.
