Lights flickering, outlets sparking, a burning smell coming from somewhere in the house… it’s easy to panic during an electrical emergency, but it’s important that you stay calm and take the right steps to protect your safety.
Discovering sparking near your outlets can understandably cause concern. Electrical malfunctions, if left unaddressed, have the potential to pose serious safety risks.
If you notice any electrical issue on your property, it’s always best to contact a technician quickly. Allowing the problem to persist even for a few days could put you at serious risk of a fire, electric shock, or other dangerous situations. That said, some electrical emergencies can’t wait. If you notice any of these signs, you should call us right away:
Electricity can be deadly. To keep you and your loved ones safe, it is critical to contact emergency responders immediately if you experience any of these problems:
Many downed power lines are still live, which means they could seriously injure anybody who comes into contact with them – even through nearby conductive materials such as metal fences or puddles. Remain at least 45 feet away from the wire and contact 911 if you see a line come down.
NEVER directly touch somebody if they are receiving an electric shock from an appliance. The safest thing to do is shut off the power supply, though if the control panel is difficult to access, use a non-conductive tool (such as plastic or wood) to remove their contact from the appliance. Should anybody sustain an injury due to electric shock, call emergency responders for assistance immediately.
Should an electrical fire break out in your home, evacuate your home immediately and call 911. If it is safe to do so, shut off the power supply to limit the damage – but never sacrifice your wellbeing for this step.
