What constitutes an electrical emergency in Glenwood homes?

An electrical emergency is any situation that poses immediate safety risks or leaves you without essential power. This includes burning smells from outlets or electrical panels, sparking or arcing from any electrical component, and complete power loss to your home when neighbors still have power.Flickering lights throughout your house, especially when accompanied by buzzing sounds, indicate dangerous loose connections that can cause fires. Hot electrical panels, outlets that shock you when touched, or circuit breakers that won’t stay reset all require immediate professional attention.If you’re experiencing any of these issues in your Glenwood home, don’t wait.

What should I do while waiting for an emergency electrician?

If you smell burning or see sparks, immediately turn off power to that area at your circuit breaker panel and evacuate everyone from the affected area. Don’t use water on electrical fires – call 911 if you see flames or heavy smoke.For power outages, check if your neighbors are affected to determine if it’s a utility issue or a problem with your home’s electrical system. Avoid using candles for lighting as they create fire risks, especially if you’re dealing with electrical problems.Don’t attempt to fix electrical problems yourself, even if they seem simple.

Wait for the licensed electrician to arrive and handle the situation safely.
