Call to confirm service availability, the exact work offered, any visit charges and scheduling before booking. The topics below are planning information, not a guarantee that every type of work is available.
When people call about this
- Power out to part of a building while the neighbors have power
- A breaker that will not stay on
- Burning smell or scorched outlets or panels
- Water near electrical equipment
What to ask before you book
If you see fire, sparks or smoke, or someone is hurt, leave the area and call 911 first. Turn off power at the main breaker only if it is safe to reach. Then call us.
Have the property address and a short description ready. Our planning guide has a checklist.
What changes the cost
Emergency pricing depends on the call. What moves the price:
- Time of day and day of the week
- Travel distance
- What the fault turns out to be
- Parts and follow-up work
Permits and inspections
Urgent work still has permit requirements. Ask the permitting authority and the contractor how these apply before work starts; urgency does not mean permits can be skipped. In Washington, most electrical work needs a permit bought before work starts. When you hire an electrical contractor, the contractor must buy the permit for the job. Depending on the address, permits and inspections are handled by the city or by Washington State Labor & Industries (L&I).

Common questions about emergency electrician
What counts as an electrical emergency?
Sparking, a burning smell from outlets or the panel, exposed live wires, smoke, or a total loss of power that is not a utility outage all count.
What should I do before the electrician arrives?
If it is safe, turn off the breaker for the affected circuit, or the main breaker for anything involving smoke or burning. Keep people and pets away from the area.
My power is out. Is that an electrician call or the utility?
If neighbors are also out, it is the utility; report it to them. If only your home is out and the main breaker has not tripped, call an electrician.
Is there 24/7 service?
We do not list 24/7 service. Our listed hours are Monday to Friday and Sunday 7 AM-9:30 PM, and Saturday 7 AM-9 PM. Outside those hours, you can try leaving a message, but no callback time or emergency response is promised. For immediate danger, leave the area and call 911.
