What Qualifies as an Electrical Emergency?

Many homeowners wonder if their situation truly qualifies as an "emergency." If you’re unsure, here are some clear signs that you should call a licensed emergency electrician right away:

Common Emergency Scenarios:

  • Complete power loss in all or part of your home

  • Burning smell coming from outlets, panels, or appliances

  • Buzzing, hissing, or crackling sounds from electrical equipment

  • Visible sparks or smoke from outlets or breaker panels

  • Breaker won’t reset and leaves rooms without power

  • Water damage near outlets, lights, or your main panel

  • Flickering lights across multiple rooms

  • Repeated breaker tripping with no known cause

  • Outlets or switches that are hot to the touch

  • You see arcing (blue light or sparks) from cords or panels

If any of these occur—especially during off-hours—it’s safer and smarter to call a professional immediately. Waiting could result in fire, equipment damage, or serious injury.

What to Do Before Help Arrives

If you’re dealing with an electrical emergency:

  1. Do not touch any exposed wires or sparking equipment.

  2. Turn off the main breaker if it’s safe to access and not damaged or wet.

  3. Avoid using water near the affected area, especially if sparks or burning are present.

  4. Keep family members and pets away from danger zones.

  5. Call Bob’s Electrical immediately for a fast response.

If there's smoke, visible flames, or you feel unsafe, call 911 first. Safety always comes before service.

Recent Emergency Calls in The Valley

Bob has responded to hundreds of after-hours and emergency calls across North Bend, Snoqualmie, and Fall City. Here are a few recent examples:

A homeowner called after noticing smoke near their kitchen outlets. Bob arrived within the hour, traced the issue to a melted outlet due to a space heater, and replaced the damaged wiring safely on-site.

Snoqualmie Ridge – Buzzing Panel on Christmas Morning

Can Emergency Electrical Repairs Be Prevented?

In some cases, yes. Many emergency calls result from older equipment, overloaded panels, or wiring issues that build up over time. Scheduling an electrical inspection or panel evaluation can help prevent breakdowns before they happen.

Consider preventive action if:

  • Your panel is over 25 years old

  • You use extension cords regularly for key appliances

  • You’ve experienced frequent breaker tripping

  • You smell burning plastic or notice dimming lights under load

  • You’re planning to add high-draw appliances (EV charger, hot tub, etc.)
