Power outages are not just a major inconvenience, but it can prove to be a big problem depending on how the outage happened in the first place. While a simple outage produced by a problem in the grid could be an issue you can just wait out, problems like electrical wire faulting, lightning strike, and other major events can prove to be detrimental to your appliances and electrical grid. Reaching out to our emergency services after an outage can ensure that your home or business comes back online without any potential issues that could cause damage to your property or appliances.

Hearing a buzz, hums, or crackles coming from your breaker box is never a good sound. Breakers are meant to be some sort of “line of defense” for all your electrical appliances and circuits at home and take the initial hit when there are electrical anomalies running through your circuit. That being said, if you are hearing odd noises coming from your breaker box, this can mean that your breakers themselves are not doing their job and this can potentially turn into a short circuit that can cause fires and damage to your electrical hardware.

You can consider burnt outlets a minor emergency, but an emergency nonetheless. This issue is important to deal with as soon as you notice it because the cause of the problem could be faulty wires or breaker which can lead to other problems including fires.

Burning smells coming from electrical outlets or other wires and appliances is never a good sign. Most of the time, this means that the circuit is oversaturated or faulty and can potentially create a fire. If you experience burning smells, it is of utmost importance to contact an electrician to ensure that things don’t escalate.
