Do You Provide Emergency Electrical Repairs?

Electrical problems can happen without warning. A sudden power outage, the smell of burning wires, or breakers that won’t stay on can quickly become more than just an inconvenience—they may indicate a serious safety issue.

If you’re experiencing an electrical problem that seems unsafe, it’s important to have it inspected as soon as possible.

At Soulis Contracting, we understand that some electrical issues simply can’t wait.

What Is Considered an Electrical Emergency?

Not every electrical issue is an emergency, but some situations require immediate attention.

Examples include:

• Burning smells coming from outlets or your electrical panel
• Smoke from electrical equipment
• Sparks coming from outlets or switches
• Breakers that continually trip and won’t reset
• Partial power loss throughout your home
• Water coming into contact with electrical equipment
• Damaged service cables
• Exposed electrical wiring
• Buzzing or crackling sounds inside your electrical panel

If you notice any of these warning signs, stop using the affected circuit if it is safe to do so and contact a qualified electrician immediately.

Signs You Should Call an Electrician Right Away

Some electrical problems may appear minor at first but can quickly become dangerous.

You should arrange for an inspection if you notice:

A Burning Smell

Electricity should never produce a burning odour.

A smell similar to burning plastic or overheating insulation could indicate damaged wiring or overloaded electrical components.

Sparks When Plugging Something In

A tiny spark can sometimes occur when plugging in an appliance.

However, frequent sparking, large sparks, or sparks accompanied by smoke or burning smells should always be investigated.

Breakers That Won’t Stay On

Circuit breakers protect your home from electrical overloads.

If a breaker immediately trips after being reset, there may be an underlying fault that requires professional diagnosis.

Avoid repeatedly forcing the breaker back on.

Flickering Lights Throughout the House

One flickering light bulb may simply need replacing.

However, multiple lights flickering throughout the home could indicate a larger electrical issue involving your panel, service connection, or wiring.

Water and Electricity

If flooding, roof leaks, or plumbing failures have affected electrical equipment, outlets, or your electrical panel, avoid touching affected components until they’ve been inspected.

Electricity and water are an extremely dangerous combination.

What Should You Do Before Calling?

If it is safe to do so:

• Turn off the affected circuit.
• Unplug any damaged appliances.
• Keep family members away from damaged electrical equipment.
• Never touch exposed wiring.
• If there is smoke or fire, leave the building immediately and call emergency services.

Your safety always comes first.

Can Electrical Problems Get Worse If Ignored?

Yes.

Small electrical problems often become larger—and more expensive—if left unresolved.

Ignoring warning signs can increase the risk of:

• Electrical fires
• Equipment damage
• Appliance failure
• Power interruptions
• Costly repairs

Addressing electrical issues early often helps prevent more extensive damage later.

Frequently Asked Questions

What electrical problems should never be ignored?

Burning smells, smoke, sparks, repeated breaker trips, exposed wiring, buzzing electrical panels, and water around electrical equipment should all be inspected as soon as possible.

Can I reset a breaker that keeps tripping?

You can try resetting it once. If it trips again immediately, stop using the circuit and contact an electrician. Repeatedly resetting a breaker without identifying the cause can be unsafe.

Is a buzzing electrical panel dangerous?

It can be. Buzzing or humming from an electrical panel may indicate loose connections, overloaded circuits, or failing components that require professional inspection.

Can water damage electrical wiring?

Yes. Water can damage electrical equipment and create serious shock hazards. If electrical components have been exposed to water, they should be inspected before being used again.

What if only part of my house has lost power?

Partial power loss can result from a tripped breaker, damaged wiring, or issues with your electrical service. An electrician can diagnose the problem and recommend the appropriate repair.
