At Buckingham Electric Inc., we handle a wide range of electrical needs, from routine inspections to complex installations. However, we also know that some problems can’t wait. When a power issue threatens your home’s comfort or business operations, you need a quick, reliable response.
That is why we offer a range of emergency electrical services to homes and businesses across the Asheville, North Carolina area. Here are four we want you to know about:
- Sudden Power Outage. If the lights suddenly go out but your neighbors still have power, it’s likely the problem is specific to your property. Our emergency electrical services team can quickly diagnose and fix the issue, whether it’s a tripped breaker, a problem with your electrical panel, or a fault in your main service line.
- Noisy Breaker Box. Although circuit breakers normally have a small, consistent hum, a crackling or buzzing sound can suggest there’s a bigger underlying problem. The noise could be due to an overloaded circuit or a loose connection within the panel, which can lead to bigger issues if not fixed promptly.
- Flickering Lights. While a single flickering bulb is probably just a bad bulb, widespread flickering lights are a different story. In many cases, you could be dealing with an overloaded circuit or a poor connection in your system. This can damage your appliances and is a clear sign that a professional needs to inspect your electrical wiring.
- Smelly or Burnt Outlets. A burning plastic smell near an outlet or a visible scorch mark is a clear emergency. This means the electrical wiring behind the outlet is overheating, putting you at immediate risk of an electrical fire. You should not attempt to use the outlet or the circuit it’s on until the issue is resolved by our emergency electrical services team.
If you encounter any of these situations, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us today.
