2 AM. burning smell from the basement. lights dead. heart racing.
Electrical emergencies don't care about your sleep schedule. Here's when you call a 24/7 electrician vs. when you wait:
🚨 CALL IMMEDIATELY:
burning plastic smell (wires melting, fire starting)
sparks from outlets (arcing = heat = fire)
total darkness when neighbors have power (panel failing)
any shock, even a tiny tingle (grounding failed, next time kills)
buzzing/humming panel (internal arcing, fire imminent)
⏰ CAN WAIT UNTIL MORNING:
One dead outlet
flickering light in a single room
dimming when the microwave runs
What to do RIGHT NOW in a true emergency:
1️⃣ turn off the main breaker (stops the danger)
2️⃣ evacuate if you see smoke
3️⃣ call 911 if flames
