Electrical Emergencies We Respond To

Greg Dixon is a licensed master electrician who has diagnosed and repaired thousands of electrical issues across East King County. When something goes wrong with your electrical system, you need fast, competent help — not a call center dispatcher.

Tripping Circuit Breakers

Breakers that trip repeatedly under normal load are a sign of a short circuit, ground fault, or overloaded circuit requiring immediate diagnosis.

Dead Outlets & Dead Zones

Non-working outlets or entire circuits that have gone dead can indicate wiring failures, GFCI trips, or loose connections.

Burning Smell or Sparks

A burning smell or visible sparks near outlets, panels, or fixtures is a fire hazard. Turn off the circuit and call immediately.

Flickering or Dimming Lights

Lights that flicker or dim inconsistently often indicate loose wiring connections or overloaded circuits — both need prompt attention.

What to Do in an Electrical Emergency

Before calling us, here's how to keep your family safe. Electrical problems can escalate — act quickly and don't try to diagnose or fix the issue yourself.

1

Don't Touch It

If you see sparks, smell burning, or feel heat from an outlet or panel, do not touch anything. Keep others away from the area.

2

Turn Off the Circuit

If it's safe to access your panel, turn off the affected circuit or the main breaker to stop current flow to the problem area.

3

If Smoke or Fire — Call 911

A burning smell from your panel is a potential fire. Call 911 first, then evacuate. Don't wait to see if it goes away on its own.

Emergency Electrician FAQ

We provide same-day service in most cases. Call us at (425) 766-4793 and describe the situation — we'll give you an honest ETA and advise you on what to do while you wait.
Repeated breaker trips usually indicate one of three things: an overloaded circuit (too many devices drawing power), a short circuit (live wire touching neutral or ground), or a ground fault (current leaking to ground). All three require a licensed electrician to diagnose and repair safely.
Leave the area immediately. Call 911 if you see smoke or flames. Do not attempt to open the panel yourself. Once the immediate danger is assessed, call us and we'll come diagnose the source of the burning smell and make it safe.
Absolutely. Flickering lights are often caused by loose connections at the fixture, switch, or panel. Dead outlets are usually a tripped GFCI, loose wire, or failed outlet. We diagnose and fix both quickly.
