What counts as an electrical emergency?+
Call right away for a burning smell, smoke, sparking outlets or switches, exposed or damaged wiring, a panel that's hot or buzzing, or a sudden partial power loss. If you ever see flames or smell something burning, get to safety and call 911 first, then call us.
What should I do while I wait for you?+
If it's safe to do so, turn off the affected circuit or main breaker to remove power from the problem area, unplug affected devices, and keep people away from the hazard. Don't touch exposed wiring or water near electrical sources. We'll guide you over the phone.
How quickly can you respond?+
We prioritize true electrical emergencies and respond as fast as possible. Call us at 401-309-9255 and we'll let you know our response time for your situation.
Do you charge more for emergency service?+
Emergency and after-hours service can carry different rates, but we'll always communicate the cost clearly before doing the work. Even in an emergency, you won't be surprised by the bill.
My power is out — is it an emergency or the utility's problem?+
If your whole neighborhood is dark, it's likely a utility outage. If only your home or certain circuits lost power — especially with any burning smell, sparking, or a tripped main that won't reset — that points to a problem on your side, and you should call us.
