(480) 555-0100What Counts as an Electrical Emergency?
- No power to part or all of the house
- A sparking or scorched outlet or switch
- A burning smell near an outlet, switch, or the electrical panel
- A breaker that won't reset, or one that trips repeatedly
- Exposed or visibly damaged wiring
- A downed power line on your property — this is not an electrician call; see below
What to Do While You Wait
- If you smell burning or see sparks, and you can safely reach your panel, shut off the breaker for that circuit (or the main breaker, if you're not sure which one).
- Don't touch exposed wiring, or any electrical source near standing water.
- If a line is down outside, stay back and call 911 and your utility (SRP or APS) — a downed line is a utility/emergency-services matter, not something an electrician handles.
- If power is flickering, unplug sensitive electronics as a precaution.

What Emergency Service Typically Costs
