What Is Considered An Electrical Emergency At Home?
An electrical emergency is any situation with fire or shock risk that needs immediate attention. Call right away if you notice sparks or flames, a burning smell, electrical shocks, frequent breaker trips, flickering or dimming lights, warm outlets or switches, buzzing or crackling sounds, or old/outdated wiring. Wisler’s after-hours dispatch arranges a certified electrician as soon as possible, with around-the-clock availability in areas like Roanoke and Rocky Mount.
- If safe, cut power at the breaker panel and keep people away.
