Emergency electrical repair
Emergency Electrician Caledonia
Sparks, a hot panel or half the house without power? Call us and we'll make it safe, then get it fixed.
When an electrical problem won't wait for morning
Plenty of electrical issues can be booked for later. A few can't. Heat or buzzing at the panel, a burning smell at an outlet, scorch marks on a cover plate or a breaker that trips the instant you reset it all point to something overheating.
Our first priority on an emergency call is safety: shutting off the affected circuit, checking the panel and making sure nothing is still heating up. Once it's safe, we track down what failed and explain the repair.
Smell burning or see sparks? Turn off the breaker if it's safe to reach, keep everyone away, and call (289) 779-3531. Smoke or flames mean get out and call 911 first.
Urgent problems we handle
Instant breaker trips
A breaker that won't hold usually means a short circuit, a ground fault or a failed device.
Heat or burning smell
Loose or damaged connections overheat. Stop using the circuit and call.
Part of the house is dead
Lights dimming or half the house losing power can mean a bad service connection or failing breaker.
Sparks or crackling
Arcing at an outlet or switch needs attention right away.
Storm or water damage
Water in the panel or a damaged service mast needs an electrician before power goes back on.
GFCI won't reset
Moisture, a downstream fault or a worn-out device can keep a GFCI from holding.

Emergency Electrician questions
Do you answer calls at night and on weekends?
Yes. Emergency calls are answered 24 hours a day, including weekends and holidays.
How do I know if it's an emergency?
Burning smells, sparks, a hot panel or outlet, a breaker that won't reset, partial power loss and storm damage to wiring are all emergencies.
Should I call Hydro One or an electrician?
If your whole street is dark, it's a utility outage. If it's only your home or part of it, or there's visible damage on your side of the meter, call an electrician.
What do I do until you arrive?
Switch off the affected breaker if you can safely, unplug things on that circuit and keep people away. Leave and call 911 if there's smoke or fire.
