We offer emergency electrical services for your peace of mind and safety.
Here at Buckingham Electric Inc., we often get asked what electrical situations call for our emergency electrical services. The answer depends on many different factors and can vary from person to person. For example, while one family is comfortable “roughing it” with flashlights overnight, another might find that idea terrifying. Another consideration is what you need power for. If you have a medical device that needs electricity, getting the power back on is critical. In addition, some electrical issues can be a safety concern, such as if you smell something odd that indicates the potential for an electrical fire.
When you call us for emergency electrical services, we recognize that you have already determined you have a reason not to wait until normal business hours. We will discuss what you have going on to gauge how quickly we need to respond and to give you important advice about safety protocols you should employ in the meantime. We might recommend you shut off the power using the main control in the circuit breaker box, and we might also recommend you vacate the property if it sounds like there could be a fire or electrocution hazard.

Hidden
Does a hot electrical panel require emergency service?
Yes, if your electrical panel is hot to the touch, this is hazardous and should be addressed immediately. The wires may be deteriorating and can cause a fire. Switch off the main breaker to cut off the power and avoid touching any wires or components in the panel. Give us a call letting us know the panel is hot and we will come to inspect and resolve the issue.
What should I do if the power goes out?
If the power goes out, there are many things that could have caused it. It’s possible a breaker tripped, and if that’s the case you just need to disconnect anything on that circuit before flipping the breaker back on. Another possibility is a local event, like a collision with a utility pole. You’ll need to wait for your utility company to resolve the outage.
