When Should You Call An Emergency Electrician?

If you are unsure when to call an emergency electrician, it is important to know that they are available to help you 24/7 in case of any electrical emergency. Your home means a lot to you. It is a heavenly place where you sleep, eat and spend time with your family. There are so many systems that make your home more efficient. One among them is the electrical system. Just imagine what you would do if your electrical system suddenly shuts down in the middle of the night? You will find it difficult to perform everyday chores as all of your electrical appliances would not work. Luckily, you can contact emergency electricians who work all hours to resolve any issue you may have with your electrical system. 

Here are some instances in which you must contact a 24-hour emergency electrician. 

Flickering & Dimming Lights:

If your lights wane, dim or flicker when you switch on multiple outlets, this is an obvious sign that there is a problem with the electrical wiring or your old electrical system. Whichever the case, it is advisable to seek emergency electrical services. 

Frequent Tripping Of Circuit Breaker:

If your breaker keeps tripping more frequently, it indicates that there is an underlying issue with your electrical system. Though it is common for breakers to trip when many appliances are used at the same time, calling an emergency electrician is important to ensure your safety.

Burning Smell From Outlets:

Sometimes, you might have noticed a burning smell coming from outlets. In that case, switch off all the outlets, unplug the appliances and contact an emergency electrician as quickly as possible. 

Age Of Your Property:

Electrical systems in any property should be upgraded on a regular basis to prevent safety risks. If your property is older than 25 years, the wiring in your house may be deteriorated.  So, it is a high-time to call your electrical contractor for emergency services. 

Sparking:

If you notice abnormal sparks coming out from an outlet while connecting an appliance, it could be due to overloaded outlet, faulty wiring or improper installation of the appliance. Such sparks can be dangerous and need a quick fix. 

Outlets Coming in Contact With Water:

In the event of flooding in your home where your outlets come in contact with outlets and wires, calling an emergency electrician is vital. As impure water acts as a conductor of electricity, the risk of electric shock is higher. Having an electrician to look at the issue will put your mind at ease.
