Safety First: Addressing Electrical Emergencies
An electrical emergency is a serious situation that can pose a significant risk of fire or electrocution. Issues like sparking outlets, a burning smell from your breaker panel, or a partial power outage require immediate attention from a qualified professional. Attempting to fix these problems yourself is extremely dangerous. LocalXR connects you instantly with licensed, on-call electricians who can safely diagnose and resolve your electrical emergency.
What is an Electrical Emergency?
Call for immediate professional help if you experience any of the following:
Sparks, Smoke, or Burning Smells
Any of these signs from an outlet, switch, or your breaker panel indicate a dangerous situation.
Partial Power Outage
If some, but not all, of your home has lost power, it could be a serious issue with your main service or breaker panel.
Buzzing Breaker Panel
A loud buzzing or humming from your circuit breaker panel can be a sign of a failing breaker or a dangerous wiring issue.
Electric Shock
Receiving even a mild shock from an appliance, switch, or outlet indicates a serious grounding problem.

Why You Must Call a Professional for Electrical Emergencies
Working with live electricity is extremely dangerous and should only be handled by a licensed and insured electrician. There is no safe way to DIY an electrical emergency.
- Severe Electric Shock or Electrocution: A mistake can be fatal.
- Fire Hazard: Incorrect wiring is a leading cause of house fires.
- Code Violations: Electrical work must meet strict safety codes. Improper work can void your homeowner's insurance.
Emergency Electrical FAQs
What should I do immediately if I smell burning plastic or wires?
Immediately turn off the power to the affected area at the main breaker panel. If you don't know the exact circuit, turn off the main service breaker to the house, and then evacuate and call an electrician or 911.
Why would only part of my house lose power?
A partial power outage is often caused by a tripped main breaker (half of a double-pole breaker) or a problem with the electrical service provided by the utility company, such as a damaged transformer or service line.
