Common Electrical Problems That Require Immediate Attention
Electrical issues can escalate quickly if left unaddressed. Some common warning signs include:
- Outlets or switches that feel warm or emit a burning smell
- Flickering or dimming lights
- Partial or complete loss of power in rooms or appliances
- Frequent circuit breaker trips
- Sparks, smoke, or unusual buzzing noises from outlets or panels
- Water intrusion near electrical devices
Ignoring these issues can lead to electrocution, fires, or equipment damage. Our team inspects wiring, panels, and circuits to assess risks and provide solutions that prevent future emergencies.
Electrical Fire Risks That Require Our Services
Electrical problems can be serious and put your entire home at risk. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, about half of all home electrical fires involve the electrical wiring in a home or lighting equipment. That is why when you are dealing with an electrical emergency, you need to act quickly. If you notice any of the following, you may require an emergency call:
- Electrical devices that show signs of being burnt
- Hot metal or plastic melting smells
- Smoke or sparks coming from electrical components
- Hot devices, cords, or walls surrounding the outlet
- Water damage
- Buzzing noise
All David Gray electricians are licensed, trained, equipped, and ready to handle your electrical service needs, day or night. We proudly serve homeowners, commercial, retail, and industrial customers, as well as churches and nonprofit organizations.

Keep in mind that outdated electrical components can overload your home's wiring. This often leads to a circuit breaker tripping and, as a result, a loss of power. Ultimately, this can lead to a fire hazard. Today's homeowners use more electronic devices than at any time in history, so it's not surprising that many homes are not equipped to meet this power demand.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What if the power grid goes down, can you still help restore power?Restoring power during a blackout will be the responsibility of your utility provider, but if you have power outages often or you have a family member who relies on medical equipment like an oxygen machine, it may be best to consider installing a backup generator. It can power your most important circuits or even your entire home during a blackout, depending on the size. At David Gray, we can recommend the best backup generator for your needs and provide all the services you need to keep it operating properly, from the initial generator installation to maintenance and repairs.
-
Are emergency electrical services more costly?There will typically be extra fees associated with emergency electrical services, but when you have a problem like faulty wiring or damaged outlets that could pose a fire hazard, it is important to get help as soon as possible. For any other electrical issues, you can save money by scheduling service during normal business hours.
-
What should I do if my appliances are smoking or sparking?Disconnecting the power quickly is important any time appliances are smoking, sparking, or doing anything unusual. Shutting off the circuit breaker for the appliance is the safest way to disconnect power, and if you are unsure of which circuit the appliance is on, it will be best to shut off all the breakers. Call our team at David Gray to determine if the circuit is safe to turn back on.
-
What electrical issues don’t constitute an emergency?Things like hot or sparking outlets are certainly an emergency, but many electrical issues are not. If you have a breaker that trips occasionally or lights that dim on occasion, these are issues that can be addressed during normal business hours. Likewise, GFCI outlets that won’t reset, failed light fixtures, or a faulty switch are likely not emergencies, but if you are unsure, call our team at David Gray.
