Rancho Mirage Emergency Electrical Repair

Most residential electrical problems aren’t urgent. For example, a burnt-out lightbulb, a tripped breaker, or a loose outlet wouldn’t require immediate attention. However, there are plenty of electrical problems that would need an electrician’s attention right away. One of the most obvious signs of an electrical emergency is smoke or burning smells from an outlet or fixture.

That’s especially true if you can’t see the exact source of the smoke or odor. Flickering lights may also indicate the presence of a serious electrical problem. They may result from a malfunctioning circuit breaker, a wiring issue, or an overload of your home’s electrical service. Those types of symptoms call for urgent action.

We offer 24/7 emergency services to help you deal with electrical system failures. We’ll immediately dispatch a qualified electrician to your home when you contact us to handle an electrical emergency. They’ll arrive with all the tools and materials needed to handle most common electrical emergencies.

They’ll assess your problem, inform you of what they find, and recommend appropriate corrective actions. They won’t leave until your home’s electrical system is safe for you and your family.

Look for the following signs that you need an emergency electrical repair.
  • Buzzing sounds
  • Outlets hot to touch
  • Sparking outlets
  • Scorched outlets
  • Repeatedly tripping breakers

Affordable Power Outage Solutions

Power outages, however infrequent, represent another kind of electrical emergency. Going without power for any extended time can have significant consequences. It can create health and safety issues if it happens during the peak of the heating or cooling season. It can cause the loss of hundreds of dollars in groceries through spoilage in an unpowered refrigerator. And if anyone in your home depends on electrical medical equipment, they’d require immediate evacuation to a medical facility. We can recommend appropriate power outage solutions to help you avoid those potential consequences.

You could, for example, choose a whole-home standby generator to keep the power on during a grid failure. Standby generators run on your home’s existing natural gas supply or propane from a large on-site storage tank. Our electricians can help you determine your home’s electrical needs and properly size a generator to meet them. When grid power fails, an automated transfer switch starts your generator and transfers your home to its supply. All you’d experience is a momentary power loss during the switchover. Most natural gas standby generators can operate indefinitely, so you’d be ready to ride out any power outage. Propane-powered models can run for up to two weeks before needing refueling.
