What Is Considered An Electrical Emergency At Home?

An electrical emergency at home is any urgent electrical problem that risks fire, shock, or critical power loss. Common emergencies include: burning smells or smoke from panels, flickering lights or sudden sparks, tripped breakers that won’t reset, power failures limited to your home, damaged wiring or short circuits, and broken outlets or melted switches. Water or storm damage affecting electrical parts is also an emergency. We provide 24/7 response across Denver, Boulder, Thornton, and nearby cities.

Quick checks:

• Do not reset a hot breaker or touch scorched outlets.
• Keep clear of wet areas around electrical equipment.
• Unplug affected devices if safe.
