Problems that shouldn’t wait
-
Partial or total power loss
Half the house is dark, or the power is out and your neighbors still have lights.
-
Sparking or scorched outlets
Burn marks, melted plugs or outlets that crackle when used.
-
Breakers that won’t reset
A breaker that trips again right away is protecting you from something.
-
Burning smell
A hot-plastic or electrical smell near outlets, switches or the panel.
-
Storm or water damage
Water near the panel or wiring, or damage to the service line after a storm.
-
Buzzing panel
Humming, buzzing or heat coming from the panel.
What to do while you wait
If it’s safe, switch off the affected circuit at the panel. Unplug sensitive electronics. Don’t use outlets or switches that look or smell damaged, and keep children and pets away from the area.
Storms are a common cause of outages in the valley. If outages keep interrupting your life, ask us about a standby generator.

Emergency repair questions
Is a tripping breaker an emergency?
One trip after a big appliance starts usually isn’t. A breaker that trips again as soon as you reset it, or one that feels hot, should be checked soon. Leave it off until then.
Should I call the utility or an electrician?
If the whole neighborhood is out or a line is down outside, call your utility. If the problem is inside your home or business, or only your building is affected, call us.
