When to Call an Emergency Electrician
Some electrical problems can wait for a scheduled visit. Others are a fire or shock risk and need attention right away. Call immediately if you notice a burning smell, smoke or scorch marks around an outlet or panel; sparking, buzzing, or outlets that are hot to the touch; exposed or arcing wiring; a breaker that trips repeatedly and won’t reset; a total loss of power that isn’t a utility-wide outage; or water contact with wiring after a leak or flood.
If you’re seeing any of these, stop using the affected circuit and call us. Wescott Electrical responds fast to make it safe.

FAQs
Any situation with a fire or shock risk: burning smells, smoke or scorch marks, sparking or hot outlets, exposed or arcing wiring, repeated breaker trips that won’t reset, sudden loss of power that isn’t a utility outage, or water contact with your electrical system. When in doubt, stop using the circuit and call.
A breaker that trips once may just be an overloaded circuit. But one that trips repeatedly and won’t reset, or trips along with a burning smell or warm panel, signals a real fault that needs a licensed electrician right away.
If it’s safe to do so, stop using the affected outlets or circuit and switch off the relevant breaker. If you smell burning or see smoke at the panel, or there’s water on the electrical system, keep clear and call us — and call 911 if there’s any sign of fire.
