What Counts as an Electrical Emergency?

Not every electrical issue is an emergency. So, what fits the bill? If you are experiencing any of the following, do not hesitate to call us right away.

  • Sparking or arcing outlets, switches, or fixtures. Visible sparks are a serious fire hazard and should never be ignored.
  • Burning smells or scorch marks near outlets, panels, or walls, which can signal dangerous overheating or an electrical fire.
  • Frequent or sudden circuit breaker trips that will not reset or keep tripping repeatedly. These can stem from a potentially serious underlying fault.
  • Complete power loss to your home or portions of it that is not due to a utility outage.
  • Exposed or damaged wiring, whether found during a renovation, after storm damage, or following pest activity.
  • Flickering or dimming lights throughout your home. This can be the result of a failing electrical panel, loose wiring, or an overloaded circuit.
  • Electrical shocks when touching outlets, switches, or appliances. 
  • Flooding or water damage near electrical components, which creates an immediate risk of electrocution or fire.

If you are unsure whether your situation counts as an emergency, err on the side of caution and call us. We are glad to assess your situation and deliver the support you need to keep you and your loved ones safe. 

Many Murray homes have older wiring, additions, or finished basements that were completed at different times, so what looks like a small issue in one room can sometimes point to a larger problem in the way the system was put together. When you reach out, we can talk through what you are seeing, ask a few focused questions, and help you decide whether you should shut off power at the panel, move family members away from a specific area, or wait safely for a scheduled visit.

Because electricity is hidden behind walls and ceilings, it is not always obvious when a problem is tied to a single outlet versus the main service equipment. Our team is familiar with how homes throughout Murray, Salt Lake City, and nearby communities are typically wired, which helps us quickly narrow down likely causes during an electrical emergency and recommend practical next steps that keep your day as normal as possible.

Common Emergency Electrical Repairs We Handle

Electrical problems can escalate quickly, so recognizing common warning signs can help you seek service before damage or safety hazards become more serious. In the Murray area, our team handles a range of urgent electrical issues, including:

  • Damaged or overheated breakers
  • Warm or damaged electrical outlets
  • Loose or arcing connections
  • Overloaded electrical panels
  • Power problems caused by added appliances or equipment
  • Unsafe or outdated DIY wiring
  • Damaged exterior outlets or electrical boxes
  • Storm-related electrical damage

Older homes may have panels or circuits that were not designed to handle modern appliances, workshops, additions, or detached garages. We can address immediate safety concerns and recommend solutions such as dedicated circuits or panel upgrades when needed.

Severe weather can also create electrical hazards. Heavy snow, wind, water intrusion, and fallen or shifting tree limbs can damage outdoor electrical equipment and wiring. Our electricians can inspect affected components, make necessary repairs, and explain any follow-up work that may be needed.

If you notice unusual electrical behavior, addressing it early can help protect your home and reduce the risk of more serious problems.

Countless homeowners and businesses throughout Murray, West Valley City, West Jordan, and our other service areas have talked about our timely services and thoughtful customer care. See for yourself by visiting our site’s reviews page. 

From the moment you call, we stay focused on clear communication so you are never left wondering what is happening next. We let you know who is coming to your property, give you a general idea of arrival timing based on current calls in the Murray area, and explain what you can do to stay safe while you wait. When our electrician arrives, we start with a visual inspection of the affected area, test critical components, and then walk you through what we are finding in plain language.

In many cases, our emergency electrical services begin with making the situation safe, such as isolating a damaged circuit or securing loose wiring, and then moving into repair or replacement work. If we discover that a larger project—like panel improvements or rewiring—would better protect your home long term, we outline those options and help you plan the next steps at a pace that works for you and your budget.

Dealing with an Electrical Emergency in Murray? Don’t Wait. Call Us!

Electrical emergencies can escalate quickly, and fast action is always the right call. Big Brothers Home Services is available 24/7 to respond to urgent issues throughout Salt Lake, Davis, and Utah Counties. Bilingual support is available. Hablamos español.

When something goes wrong after hours, it can be hard to know whether to wait until morning or call right away, especially if lights are still on or power comes and goes. If you are in Murray or the surrounding cities and feel uneasy about anything you are seeing, give us a call and we talk it through with you. Our goal is to help you decide whether the situation needs immediate attention, whether you should shut off specific breakers, or whether a scheduled visit during the day will address the issue.

Utah weather, with summer storms and winter snow, can put extra stress on electrical systems, from outdoor outlets and landscape lighting to older panels that are already working hard. During these conditions, our phones tend to be busier, but we still prioritize true emergencies so that homes and businesses dealing with sparking equipment, smoke, or repeated outages get prompt help. Let us know exactly what is happening, and we respond with the level of urgency your situation calls for.

To schedule an emergency service with our skilled electricians, call (385) 469-4940 or get in touch online. We are ready to be there for you when it matters the most.

Frequently Asked Questions

When Should I Call an Emergency Electrician Instead of Waiting?

You should call right away if you see sparks, smell burning, notice smoke from outlets or panels, or feel heat when you touch switches or electrical equipment. Sudden loss of power to parts of your home, breakers that trip again the moment you reset them, or water getting near outlets or your main panel are also situations that should be treated as urgent. If you are unsure, a quick call gives us a chance to ask a few questions and help you decide on the safest next step.

What Can I Do to Stay Safe While I Wait for Help?

If it is safe to reach your electrical panel, you can switch off the breaker that seems tied to the problem area, or shut off the main if you are concerned about a larger issue. Keep children and pets away from any outlets, cords, or equipment that look or smell unusual, and avoid using space heaters or extension cords until the problem is checked. In homes around Murray where basements and garages may occasionally take on water, staying clear of wet areas that include outlets or cords is especially important.

Do Emergency Electrical Visits Cost More than Standard Appointments?

Emergency visits are often priced differently because they involve after-hours staffing and quick response, but we still focus on clear, upfront communication about pricing. When you call, we can explain how emergency rates work, what to expect when the electrician arrives, and when a scheduled, non-emergency visit might be a better fit. This clarity helps you balance urgency, budget, and comfort while making decisions about your home in Murray and the surrounding communities.
