What situations qualify as an electrical emergency?

Determining whether you're facing an emergency electrical issue or a mere inconvenience can sometimes be challenging. Often, issues with wiring can escalate into genuine emergencies. If you find yourself unsure, don't hesitate to reach out to us for assistance. We can assess your situation and provide guidance. Remember, you're not alone in this. Here are some common signs that indicate an electrical emergency:

Unexplained Burning Smell

If you detect a lingering or intermittent smell, or if your smoke detectors are being triggered, it is crucial to investigate the source promptly. Take the time to inspect your appliances, outlets, ducts, and breaker box to identify the potential cause. An unfamiliar odor can be a sign of an electrical hazard, particularly if it resembles the scent of burning plastic. Taking immediate action is important to ensure your safety and mitigate any potential risks.

Signs of a Buzzing or Humming Sound from the Breaker Box

While a mild humming sound from your breaker box is typically normal due to the electrical current flowing through it, it's important to pay attention if the buzzing or humming intensifies over time. This could indicate an overload in the circuit breaker. Swiftly addressing this issue is crucial, as an overloaded circuit can lead to the heating of wiring and pose a serious fire hazard with potentially life-threatening consequences.

Persistent Flickering of Lights

While occasional light flickering can be attributed to minor issues like a faulty lightbulb or switch, persistent and continuous flickering indicates more significant problems. These could include circuit overloads, excessive voltage, or loose wiring. It is crucial to treat these issues seriously as they can be hazardous. It is recommended to have an inspection conducted promptly to identify and address the underlying cause of the flickering.

Frequent Tripping of Circuit Breaker

Possible Reasons for Repeated Circuit Breaker Tripping:

Deterioration or malfunctioning of the circuit breaker box
Circuit overload exceeding the capacity of the breaker box
Ground fault, where a hot wire comes into contact with the ground
Appliance or wire experiencing a short-circuit, causing the electrical flow to deviate from the intended circuit

Emergency: Electric Shock Incident

Common Causes of Electrical Shock Incidents Include:

Outdated two-prong outlets lacking a grounding wire, which serves as a safety barrier
Outlets or switches with loose screws or wiring, leading to unstable electrical currents
Faulty appliances with frayed wiring or broken cords that can result in shocks upon plugging them in
Proximity of water sources to electricity or touching outlets with damp hands

Awesome job by Nick, explained what he needed to do and provided alternatives that would enhance our electrical needs. His work ethic and customer service were second to none. Will definitely stay with Nick and Mr. Sparky! Thanks!

- Michael Skelly

Had a breaker panel replaced. Perfect service from start to finish. They were fast, friendly, and very professional. Nick communicated the issues very clearly and understandably. He was pleasant to talk to and very knowledgeable. I’ll seek him out for any other electrical needs.

- Anthony Walden

Nick did great work for us. We threw numerous tasks at him and he worked them all with expertise. Our house is old and was built in mysterious, wacky ways but Nick just kept at it finding work arounds in order to get the job done. We will definitely use him again when the need arises.

- Carol Neely

I requested a quote from Nick, he arrived on time and was smiling and introduced himself. I showed him around and explained what I needed. When he was finished he gave me an approximate estimate and said he would have the original sent to my email address. I reviewed his quote and was satisfied with the price as per the scope of work to be done. He arrived on time to begin his work, he asked a few questions and he went to work right away. Shortly a team manager arrived and the two began laying conduit and digging to lay the wires. Both men discussed the way they approached how they wanted to proceed with the work. I got a chair and watched them approximately 85 % of the day. They continued to discuss strategies and completed approximately 90% of the job when Nick had to load the trencher and have it back to the yard before 5 pm. A third worker also showed up to help and was busy doing digging and pulling wire. Together then stopped to clean up the area if trashed line, plastic anything that they used as well as picking up all of their tools. They left my property clean and free from anything the used and needed to dispose of. All three men were very nice and watching them work as a team was a delight to be a part of their discussion through the day. Nick will be back in the morning to finish up a few loose ends and nade sure his coming back was not going to interfere with my weekend. I look forward to seeing Nick tomorrow to complete the job. I know the work that they did was done by the book. The team manager was very helpful as he has the years of experience and Nick was not intimidated by asking his opinion as I saw and heard their conversations, they did not have anything to hide. For one, all of their work will be inspected before I can have power to my home. They were very much aware that all safety issues were followed without a hesitation they were all on the same page every step of the way during their installation of running power to my home. I appreciate the way they got the job done working side by side until the work was done and even clean up was shared by both men. I will gladly recommend Mr. Sparky to my friends and family. My family does not live here but I understand that Mr. Sparky has many locations. They certainly will be the electricians that I will call should I have a need for their service.. They are definitely a five star ***** company and very easy to work with. Their prices were very acceptable considering the market pricing going up on almost every service and hardware that was needed to complete my work. Many thanks to the team Mr. Sparky you earned a five (5) star rating.

Tyler and Nick did a great job replacing two panels. Tyler showed me where circuit breakers were arching and introduced me to the history of these flawed panels. I also learned how I was not a unique case but these electrical panels are being replaced often in North Alabama!!! The whole Southeast.
