24/7WE ANSWER
Don't Wait
Call Us Immediately If…
Any one of these is a reason to stop, step back and pick up the phone. We're here right now.
Sparking Outlet or Panel
Visible sparks at an outlet, switch or breaker panel signal a live fault that can ignite — stop using it and call before it gets worse.
Exposed or Downed Wires
Bare, damaged or downed wiring can be live and lethal — keep everyone well back, don't touch it, and call us to make it safe.
Total Power Loss
Lost all power when the neighborhood still has it? That points to a fault on your service — we'll find it fast and restore you safely.
A Breaker That Won't Reset
A breaker that trips the instant you reset it is protecting you from a short or overload — keep it off and let us trace the cause.
Buzzing or Hot Panel
A panel that buzzes, crackles or feels warm to the touch has loose or arcing connections inside — shut off the main if safe and call now.
Stay Safe
What to Do Until We Arrive
Help is on the way — and the few minutes before we get there matter. The goal is simple: protect people first, limit the damage, and don't make the hazard worse. Here's exactly what to do.
Don't touch downed or exposed wires
Treat any bare, fallen or damaged wire as live. Keep your distance and never touch it — not even to move it out of the way. The same goes for anything it may be touching, including standing water.
Switch off the main breaker — only if you can do it safely
If your panel is dry, clear and not the source of the smell or sparks, switching off the main breaker cuts power to the whole home and removes the hazard. If the panel itself is hot, smoking, wet or sparking, leave it alone and wait for us.
Unplug affected devices & keep people away
Unplug appliances on the affected circuit if you can reach them safely, and keep people and pets clear of the area until we've checked it.
If there's smoke or fire, get out and call 911 first
Any active fire, heavy smoke or flames is a 911 call before anything else. Get everyone outside, then call us once you're safe — your life is worth more than the wiring.
Honest Pricing
Honest Emergency Pricing
Emergencies are stressful enough — your bill shouldn't be a second surprise. Here's what shapes the cost of an emergency call.
Severity & Scope
Making a hazard safe is a smaller job than a full repair. We may make-safe first and quote any larger fix separately so you stay in control.
Time of Day
After-hours, overnight and holiday calls can carry a different rate than standard hours — we tell you that up front, not after the work.
Parts Needed
A failed breaker, burnt outlet or damaged section of cable is replaced with proper, code-compliant parts — and we explain what's required.
Access
Where the fault sits — behind a wall, up several floors, in a cramped service closet — affects how long it takes to reach and resolve safely.
Follow-Up Work
If the emergency reveals a bigger issue — an aging panel or unsafe wiring — any repair or upgrade is a separate, clearly quoted job.
Clear Pricing Promise
Whatever the hour, you get a clear price before we start the work — never a number invented after the job is done.
No surprise charges. We assess the situation, explain what your emergency needs, and quote you before we work — so even at 2 a.m. you know exactly where you stand before we pick up a tool.

Questions
Emergency Electrician FAQs
Straight answers for a stressful moment.
How fast can you get to me?
We dispatch as fast as possible the moment you call. Exact timing depends on where you are in New York and traffic, but emergencies jump the queue — when you call, we tell you honestly when an electrician will reach you and what to do in the meantime.
What counts as an electrical emergency?
A burning smell or smoke, sparks, exposed or downed wires, a total loss of power, a breaker that won't reset, or a hot, buzzing panel are all emergencies. So is anything that feels dangerous — if you're unsure, call and we'll help you judge it over the phone.
Are you really available 24/7?
Yes. We answer the phone around the clock — nights, weekends and holidays included. You'll reach a real person, not a recording, and we'll get a licensed electrician moving toward you.
What should I do while I wait?
Don't touch downed or exposed wires, switch off the main breaker only if you can do so safely, unplug affected devices, and keep people and pets away from the area. If there's smoke or fire, get out and call 911 first, then call us.
Do you charge more after hours?
After-hours, overnight and holiday calls can carry a different rate than standard hours. Whatever it is, we tell you the price up front before any work begins — no surprise charges added on at the end.
I smell burning / see sparks — what now?
Stop using the affected outlet or device and step away. If you can safely reach a dry, clear panel, switch off the main breaker. If there's active fire or heavy smoke, get everyone out and call 911 first. Then call us and we'll respond right away.
Can you restore power on the same visit?
Most of the time, yes. We make the situation safe and, where the parts are on the truck and it's safe to do so, complete the repair and restore power on the same visit. If a fault calls for a larger fix, we make it safe first and schedule the rest with you.
Do you fix the underlying problem too?
Yes — we're not in the business of band-aids. After making it safe, we diagnose the real cause and carry out a permanent, code-compliant repair. If the emergency points to a bigger issue, like an aging panel or unsafe wiring, we explain your options clearly.
