What is an Electrical Emergency?

You may not realize that you have an emergency electrical problem rather than a nuisance that can be scheduled for service. It is not uncommon for wiring problems to result in an actual emergency. Feel free to contact our team at Mister Sparky® of Tampa if you are unsure, and we will be glad to help diagnose your issue.

Electrical emergencies are often indicated by the following signs:

Unidentified Burning Smell

Is the smell lingering or does it come and go? Is your smoke detector going off? See if you can locate the source in your appliances, outlets, ducts, and breaker box. There is a possibility that an unidentified odor is an electrical hazard, especially if you smell burning plastic.

A Buzzing or Humming Sound in Breaker Box

The breaker box runs an electrical current, so you may hear a slight humming sound. Nevertheless, if the buzzing or humming gets louder continuously, you should address it immediately as an overloaded circuit breaker may be to blame. Circuit wiring can catch fire if it is overheated by an overload.

Circuit Breaker Keeps Tripping Repeatedly

A circuit breaker may trip for several reasons, including:

• It's time to replace the circuit breaker box
• There is an overload in the circuit that the breaker box cannot handle
• Hot wires are touching the ground, causing a ground fault
• The electrical flow has departed from the intended circuit on an appliance or wire due to short-circuiting

Lights Continuously Flicker

Flickering lights are likely caused by a faulty switch or lightbulb. Continually flickering indicates a more significant problem, such as an overload, excess voltage, or loose wiring. There should be an immediate inspection of these because they are dangerous.

Someone Received an Electrical Shock

Electrical shock can occur in a variety of situations, including:

• Outlets with two prongs that lack a ground wire as a safety barrier
• When a switch or outlet has loose screws or wiring, the electrical current will be unstable
• You may experience shocks when you plug in faulty appliances, such as broken cords or frayed wiring
• Using damp hands to touch outlets or water sources near electricity
