Electrical emergencies in California do not wait for business hours, so neither do we. Our after hours electricians handle the calls that cannot sit until morning: no power in the house when the neighbors still have lights, a breaker that keeps tripping, a scorched outlet, a panel that is warm to the touch. Call (888) 633-7804 and you will speak with someone who can send help, not a voicemail box.
Emergency electrical repair we handle in California
Power outage in one home
We find out why your house has no power when the street does: failed main breaker, burned service lugs, a bad meter socket or a damaged feeder.
Sparking outlet or switch
We shut the circuit down, open the box, replace burned devices and repair the loose or overheated wiring behind them.
Breaker keeps tripping
We test for overloads, ground faults and short circuits and fix the cause instead of just resetting the breaker.
Burning smell or hot panel
Heat and odor mean a connection is failing. We locate it with a thermal check and make the repair before it becomes an electrical fire.
Flickering or dimming lights
Whole-home flicker often points to a loose neutral, which can damage electronics. We trace it and tighten or replace the connection.
Storm, water and fire damage
We make damaged circuits safe, restore power to the parts of the building that can be energized, and document repairs for your claim.

Emergency electrician questions
How fast can an emergency electrician reach me?
Arrival time depends on where our nearest crew is working and on traffic, so we give you an honest window when you call (888) 633-7804 rather than a blanket promise. Emergencies that involve heat, smoke or exposed live parts go to the front of the queue.
What should I do while I wait for the electrician?
If it is safe to reach the panel, switch off the breaker feeding the problem area, or the main breaker if you cannot tell which one it is. Unplug what you can, keep people away from the affected spot, and never touch a panel or outlet that is wet. If you see flames or smoke, leave and call 911 first.
Is a breaker that keeps tripping an emergency?
A breaker that trips once under a heavy load is doing its job. One that trips repeatedly, feels hot, or will not reset is protecting you from a fault, and forcing it back on is how wiring gets damaged. That is worth a same-day call.
Do you charge more for nights and weekends in California?
After-hours calls carry a higher dispatch rate than a scheduled weekday visit, and we tell you that rate on the phone before we send anyone. If the problem can safely wait until morning, we will say so.
