Emergency FAQ

What to do in an electrical emergency

What counts as an electrical emergency?

Treat any of the following as an emergency: a burning odor, smoke or scorch marks, sparking, a hot or buzzing panel, a partial loss of power, or water near electrical equipment. If you see fire or smoke, call 911 first.

What should I do while I wait for an electrician?

If it is safe to do so, switch off the affected circuit or the main breaker. Do not touch wet equipment or downed lines. If a utility line is down outside, keep well clear and contact your utility.

Do you answer after hours and on weekends?

Yes. Emergency service is available 24/7 by phone at 973-800-9463.
