Emergency Electrical Service in Salisbury, NC

About emergency electrical service

Some electrical problems cannot wait: sparks, smoke, a burning smell, a breaker that will not reset, power lost to part of the house, or water in the panel. We answer emergency calls day and night across Salisbury and the surrounding area.

Our first job is to make the situation safe: isolate the fault, shut down the damaged circuit and restore power to the rest of your home where it is safe to do so. Then we repair the cause. Sometimes that is a same-visit fix, such as a failed breaker or a burned outlet. Larger repairs, like a damaged service mast after a storm, may need the utility and a permit, and we explain the steps.

If you see flames or heavy smoke, leave the building and call 911 before anything else. For everything else, call us and we will tell you what to do while we are on the way.
