What To Do In An Electrical Emergency

When something goes wrong with your electrical system, it can feel chaotic. A few careful steps can help protect people and property until a qualified electrician arrives. Safety comes first, and in some cases that means leaving the situation to professionals instead of trying to troubleshoot on your own.

If you notice smoke, flames, or a strong burning smell, treat it as urgent. In these situations, it is often safer to stay back from the affected area, make sure everyone is moving away from danger, and call 911 before you do anything else. Firefighters are trained to manage active electrical fires and can advise you at the scene.

If you are facing an electrical emergency, take these steps:

• Keep people and pets away from any smoke, sparks, or damaged equipment
• Call 911 if there is active fire, heavy smoke, or someone has been shocked
• Avoid standing water, especially near outlets, cords, or the electrical panel
• Turn off the main breaker only if you can reach it safely and without risk
• Call (978) 915-7860 so our team can advise you and dispatch an emergency electrician

Our team can often talk you through simple safety checks over the phone while we arrange a visit. We assist both homeowners and business owners with urgent issues, so you do not need to wait until regular business hours to reach out.

How Our Emergency Service Works

In a stressful moment, it helps to know what to expect. When you contact Garneau Electric for emergency electrical services in Dracut, we follow a clear process that focuses on safety, communication, and transparent pricing from the first call through completion.

When you call our office, you connect with a team member who listens to what is happening and asks a few focused questions. We use this information to assess the level of urgency, offer immediate safety advice, and determine the best way to respond. Situations involving smoke, burning odors, or repeated tripping of main breakers are treated as high priority.

From our location in Windham, our electricians regularly travel to Dracut and other northern Massachusetts communities. Travel time can vary, especially during bad weather, but our goal is always to arrive as promptly as conditions allow. We let you know our expected arrival window so you can plan around it as you manage the situation on site.

Once on site, an electrician from our team performs a visual inspection of the affected area and the main electrical components. This might include your panel, service entrance, key circuits, and any devices that appear damaged. We use testing equipment to help identify the source of the problem, whether it is a failing breaker, damaged wiring, or a compromised connection.

After we identify the issue, we explain our findings in everyday language and outline your options. You receive clear, upfront pricing before any repair begins so you can make an informed decision without worrying about surprise charges. In many cases, our vehicles are stocked with commonly used parts, which allows us to complete repairs in a single visit whenever that is practical.

If the emergency reveals a larger problem, such as an undersized panel in a growing business or outdated wiring in an older home, we discuss both the immediate fix and potential long-term improvements. Our services include wiring and rewiring, panel upgrades, lighting solutions, EV charger installations, generator setups, and solar wiring, so we can help you plan beyond the current issue.

Throughout the process, our electrician focuses on leaving your system in a safe condition before we leave. You only pay when the job is completed according to the agreed scope of work. For many customers in Dracut, this first emergency visit becomes the start of an ongoing relationship for maintenance, upgrades, and backup power planning.

Common Electrical Emergencies We Handle

No two electrical emergencies look exactly the same, but many fall into familiar patterns. Recognizing these situations can help you decide when to call for an emergency electrician in Dracut and understand what our team can address during a visit.

One of the most common complaints we hear involves breakers that trip repeatedly for no clear reason. Persistent tripping can signal overloaded circuits, failing breakers, or wiring that is no longer performing as it should. Partial power loss, such as one part of a home going dark while other rooms still have power, often points to issues at the panel or service entrance that require prompt attention.

Burning or melting odors at outlets, switches, or around an electrical panel are always cause for concern. These smells can indicate overheated components or loose connections, which may lead to more serious damage if left unaddressed. In basements and utility rooms, discoloration around electrical equipment or panels can also be an important warning sign.

Weather is another factor in this region that contributes to urgent calls. New England storms can bring heavy wind, ice, and lightning that stress overhead service lines and exterior equipment. Damage to the service mast or meter area, flickering lights during storms, or recurring outages at a single property are all situations where a licensed electrician should inspect the system.

Many homeowners and businesses in Dracut are also thinking about backup power. As an authorized Generac dealer, we install and maintain whole-home and commercial generator systems. When we respond to an emergency involving repeated outages or panel problems, we can discuss whether a standby generator might be a helpful part of your overall reliability plan and how proper wiring and transfer equipment protect both your property and utility workers.

Our team handles both residential and commercial emergencies. Whether you manage a small retail space, a professional office, or a multi-unit property, we work to restore safe electrical service so you can get back to normal operations as quickly as circumstances allow.
