Emergency electrician: your questions.
Is a burning smell from an outlet an emergency?
Yes. Stop using the outlet, switch off its breaker if you can reach it safely, and call now. Heat at an outlet usually means a loose or damaged connection, and that can start a fire inside the wall. If you see smoke or flames, get out and call 911 first.
Why does half my house have no power?
Most homes get power on two 'legs'. If one drops, roughly half the circuits go dead while the rest still work. If your neighbors are out too, it's a Duke Energy problem: report it to them. If it's only your house, the fault may be in the main breaker, meter base or service wires, and you need an electrician.
Do you charge more at night or on weekends?
Yes, after-hours visits cost more than daytime ones. We give you the visit fee on the phone before anyone drives out.
How fast can you get here?
It depends on the time and where you are. We give you a realistic arrival time when you call, and call ahead if it changes.
