Common electrical emergencies we handle

Electrical problems can be dangerous. Here are some common electrical emergencies we can fix for you 24/7:

Power outages or frequent loss of power: Sudden loss of electricity in part or all of your home can indicate a serious fault. We’ll quickly diagnose whether it’s an internal issue like a blown fuse or a wider grid problem.

Tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses: If your circuit breaker keeps tripping or fuses blow repeatedly, it’s a sign of an electrical overload or fault. We can identify the cause and repair the faulty circuit to prevent further disruptions.

Burning smells or smoke from outlets or fuse box: A burning smell, scorch marks, or smoke coming from an outlet, switch, or your fuse box is a red alert. This could mean melting wires or an imminent electrical fire – unplug devices, turn off power if safe, and call an emergency electrician immediately.

Sparks or buzzing sounds: Seeing sparks when you plug in an appliance or hearing loud buzzing/humming from the electrical panel isn’t normal. These are signs of loose connections or faulty wiring that require urgent electrician service to avoid shocks or fire.

Flickering lights or hot light fixtures: Lights that constantly flicker (not due to a bad bulb) or ceiling light fixtures that are hot to touch may indicate overloaded circuits or wiring issues. This poses a fire risk if not addressed promptly by an electrician.

Electric shocks or exposed wiring: If you feel a mild shock when touching an appliance or notice exposed wires, don’t ignore it. Exposed live wires or faulty grounding can seriously injure someone – it’s essential to have an emergency electrician make things safe.

*If you’re experiencing any of these dangerous situations, don’t wait. Electrical emergencies can escalate quickly – call our 24/7 London emergency electricians now and we’ll dispatch a qualified technician to resolve the issue fast.

Emergency electrician London - FAQs

What is considered an electrical emergency?

An electrical emergency is any situation involving your electrical system that poses a risk of fire, electric shock, or serious property damage if not addressed immediately. Examples include power outages limited to your home, sparking outlets, smoking or burning smells from wiring, buzzing or crackling from the fuse box, or any instance where you feel unsafe. Essentially, if an electrical problem is sudden, dangerous, or disrupting your daily life (especially outside normal hours), it’s considered an emergency and you should call a qualified emergency electrician.

When should you contact an emergency electrician?

Identifying critical situations and promptly reaching out to emergency electricians ensures swift resolution and safeguards against potential hazards associated with electrical malfunctions. Some of the main instances that require immediate action are:
1. Smoke or burning smells - detecting smoke or a burning smell near electrical outlets could indicate a potential power surge. It could cause a fire, so burning smells and strange odours from outlets must be addressed right away.
2. Exposed wires or sparks - exposed wires or sparks pose significant risks, especially in households with young children. To prevent potential accidents or injuries, these issues should be addressed immediately.
3. Risk to personal safety - if you feel your safety is compromised due to electrical issues, don't hesitate to contact an emergency electrician promptly. Even over the phone, a qualified electrician can gauge the urgency of the situation and provide initial guidance.

How much does an emergency electrician cost in the UK?

Typically, the cost of an emergency electrician in the UK ranges from £80 to £150 for the first hour, and may increase significantly for evening, night, and weekend appointments. Additionally, the overall cost depends on the complexity and duration of the job, the materials needed, and the location. In London, rates might be slightly higher than in other areas.
