Electrical Emergencies We Handle


An electrical problem can be more than just an inconvenience; it can be a serious risk to your safety and property. Knowing when to call a professional is the first step in protecting your home or business. If you notice any of the following signs, call our emergency electrician in Perryville, MD immediately.


  • Partial or total power loss. If your power goes out suddenly, it could be a sign of a larger issue with your electrical panel or service line. We can diagnose the problem and work to restore power safely.
  • Breaker or main keeps tripping. A breaker that trips once or twice may just be an overload. But a breaker that trips repeatedly is a sign of an electrical fault that needs expert attention.
  • Hot outlet, burning smell, or visible arcing. These are all clear warnings of overheating or a wiring issue. The danger of a fire is high in these situations. Do not use the outlet and call us right away.
  • Storm or water damage near electrical. Water and electricity are a dangerous combination. If a storm has damaged your meter base, electrical mast, or outdoor wiring, it's critical to call for emergency help.
  • Sparking panel, buzzing meter base, or downed service mast. Any sparking or buzzing from your electrical panel or meter is a major red flag. If your service mast is damaged, this is a severe safety hazard.


Safety Note: If you see smoke or fire, call 911 first, then call us.
