Frequently asked questions
What should I do while I wait for the electrician?
If you smell burning plastic or see smoke, shut off the main breaker if it is safe to reach, and call 911 if there is any visible fire. If a single appliance is sparking, unplug it at the outlet only if the outlet itself is not damaged. Otherwise, keep the area clear and stay on the phone with us — we will walk you through a safe hold pattern until the truck arrives.
How much does an emergency electrician cost?
After-hours service calls start around $185 for diagnosis. Before any repair starts, you get a flat quote for the actual fix. No surprise hourly meter running.
Do you really answer the phone at 2 a.m.?
Yes. Calls go to a live dispatcher any hour of the day, any day of the year. Text messages get a response too, usually within a couple of minutes.
Can I request a temporary fix tonight and a permit-pulled repair tomorrow?
Often, yes. For situations where the real fix requires permits, daylight, or parts we do not carry on the truck, we can make the property safe tonight and schedule the full repair for the next business day.
