Call an emergency electrician if...

You Smell Burning Wires

If you detect a burning metallic or plastic smell, this could be due to burning wires – a very serious situation. This odor signals a pending electrical fire due to overheating of wires, usually prompted by a bad connection or faulty wire. Cut the power and call us.

You Hear a Humming Breaker Box

Your circuit breaker should automatically cut the power if surges are detected, which prevents damage to your electrical system or appliances. So, if you hear a buzzing sound coming from your breaker box, this means it’s trying to trip but something is preventing it from doing so. Your electrical safety system is undergoing a failure – something that should be addressed right away.
