What Is Considered An Electrical Emergency Requiring Immediate Help?
An electrical emergency is any condition that poses a shock or fire hazard and needs immediate help. Examples include smoke or a burning smell, visible sparks or arcing, hot or buzzing panels or breakers, repeatedly tripping breakers that won’t reset, exposed live wires, and water around outlets, wiring, or your electrical panel. If this happens in Denver, Aurora, or nearby, our licensed electricians can respond immediately and handle permits and code compliance when repairs are required.
- If safe, shut off power at the main.
- Keep people away; do not touch wet or damaged equipment.
- Call a licensed electrician.
