Common Emergencies We Handle

Breakers that trip and won’t reset.
Faulty outlets or exposed wiring.
Storm damage, downed lines or water intrusion.
Insurance-required emergency repairs to restore occupancy.
Spot the Signs Before They Become Emergencies
Not all electrical problems announce themselves with a full outage. Some start with subtle, but dangerous, warning signs. Maybe you’ve noticed soot or scorch marks on an electrical outlet. Perhaps one section of your home has lost power and resetting the breakers hasn’t solved it. Or you’ve spotted a wet electrical panel after a storm or water leak.
Whether it’s damaged outlets, failing electronic devices, or something just feels off, these early warning signs can signal serious risks.
Here are a few red flags that should never be ignored
- Sparking electrical devices when plugging in appliances or switching on lights.
- Burning smells or discoloration around electrical switches, outlets or your breaker box.
- Lights that flicker or dim unexpectedly, especially when major appliances run.
- Overheating panels or breakers that feel warm to the touch.
- Breakers that trip repeatedly or won’t reset, signaling overload or faulty wiring issues.
- Buzzing sounds or humming from walls, outlets, or your electrical panel.
- Old, faulty wiring in aging properties, especially those not up to modern code.
- Shocks or tingling sensations when touching switches or appliances.
When in Doubt, Call It Out - Your Safety is Our Priority
Sometimes, our customers aren’t sure if they are facing a genuine emergency or just a minor inconvenience. We always encourage you to call at the first sign of trouble. What starts as a minor annoyance could indicate a deeper electrical hazard with the potential to cause a fire, electrocution or a system-wide failure.
If something doesn’t feel right, don’t take chances. It’s time to call for immediate assistance.
Call JB Electric at the first sign of trouble – we’ll handle the hazard before it becomes a crisis.

How quickly can you respond to electrical emergencies?

- Immediate danger situations: We prioritize life-safety emergencies first

What should I do while waiting for emergency electrical service?
Your safety comes first – follow these steps:
- Turn off power at the main breaker if it’s safe to access
- Evacuate the area if you smell burning or see sparks
- Don’t touch any electrical equipment or standing water near electricity
- Call 911 if there’s immediate fire danger
- Stay warm/cool in another part of your home if HVAC is affected
- Unplug electronics to prevent damage from power surges Never attempt DIY electrical repairs during an emergency – wait for our licensed professionals to arrive and assess the situation safely.
Can you help with power outages, or do I need to call the utility company?
We can help determine if the problem is on your property or the utility’s responsibility. Here’s how to tell:
- Check neighbors: If they have power, the issue is likely on your property
- Check your main breaker: If it’s tripped, we can help diagnose why
- Look for visible damage: Damaged service lines or meters need utility company attention We work with utility companies when needed and can expedite repairs on your electrical system once utility power is restored. Our emergency electricians can quickly identify whether you need us, the utility company, or both.
