Emergency Electrical Service in Houston, TX

When to call 911 vs. us

• Call 911 first if you see smoke, active fire, arcing, or a burning odor that’s getting stronger. After the scene is safe, call us to repair.
• Call us for urgent but non-life-threatening issues: breakers that won’t reset, hot outlets/switches, a buzzing panel, partial power, wet outlets after a leak, or safe-but-dead circuits.

Not certain which it is? We’ll help you decide in real time—call now.

Common electrical emergencies

We triage by phone and dispatch an after-hours electrician when needed. Typical calls include:

Burning smell or scorch marks

Often a loose connection or overheated part. Turn off the affected circuit (or the main if unsure) and call.

Arcing, popping, or visible sparks

Stop resetting the breaker. Keep clear of the device/panel and call us immediately.

Wet outlets or fixtures

After leaks or storms, moisture inside devices can cause faults. Don’t use the outlet; we’ll dry, test, and replace as needed.

Main breaker or multiple breakers tripping

May be overloads, faults, or failed breakers. We isolate the cause, correct wiring/loads, or replace failed components.

Panel hot to the touch or buzzing

A serious sign of loose terminations or failing parts. Power down if safe and call.

Partial power / brownouts

Common with a lost service leg. We diagnose and coordinate with the utility if it’s on their side.

Shocks or a “tingle” from a device

Stop using it and call—could be a grounding/bonding issue.

Storm or surge damage

We assess affected circuits/electronics and can install whole-home surge protection after remediation.

Smoke or CO alarms behaving oddly

We verify wiring/interconnection and replace expired devices.
