Not Sure If It's an Emergency? Call Us!

Some warning signs mean you shouldn’t wait: sparking outlets, a persistent burning smell, exposed or scorched wiring, a breaker that repeatedly trips or won’t reset, or a shock from a switch or appliance. These can escalate into a house fire or safety hazard fast.

If you’re seeing warning signs but aren’t sure how urgent they are, don’t guess — a quick call to Mountain Pro Electric can help you understand whether it’s safe to wait or needs immediate attention.

What Requires Urgent Attention vs. What Can Wait for a Scheduled Appointment

Call right away for:

Sparking, smoking, or scorched outlets and switches
A persistent burning smell with no clear source
Exposed or damaged wiring
Electrical shocks from any outlet, switch, or appliance
A buzzing or humming electrical panel
Breakers that repeatedly trip or won't reset at all
A power outage affecting only your home, not the surrounding area

Can typically wait for a scheduled appointment:

A single outlet that stopped working with no other symptoms
Flickering lights on one fixture
Older outlets that need updating but show no signs of overheating
General panel age or planned upgrade projects
Adding new circuits, lighting, or outlets for a remodel

If you’re not sure which category your issue falls into, it’s always safer to call and ask. Recurring breaker trips, warm outlets, or a panel that seems to be struggling to keep up with your home’s power needs are also common signs that a full panel inspection, or a panel upgrade, may be worth scheduling, even if it’s not an active emergency.

FAQs About Emergency Electrical Repairs

What should I do if my power goes out?

First, check whether the outage affects just your home or the whole neighborhood. If it’s neighborhood-wide, report it to your utility company. If only your home has lost power, it’s likely an internal electrical issue and you’ll want to contact Mountain Pro Electric to have it diagnosed.

I smell something burning near an outlet. Is that an emergency?

Yes. A burning smell near an outlet, switch, or panel is a sign of overheating wiring or a component failure and should be addressed immediately. If you see smoke or flames, call 911 first.

Why does my breaker keep tripping?

Repeated breaker trips usually mean a circuit is overloaded, there’s a short somewhere in the system, or your panel is struggling to keep up with your home’s power demands. This is worth a professional diagnosis, and in some cases points to the need for a panel upgrade.

My breaker won't reset at all. What does that mean?

A breaker that won’t reset can indicate a more serious fault in the circuit or the panel itself. Avoid repeatedly forcing it and contact a licensed electrician to diagnose the issue safely.

Is a sparking outlet dangerous?

Yes. Sparking outlets are a fire hazard and a sign of damaged wiring, a loose connection, or a failing component. Stop using the outlet and contact an electrician right away.
