Emergency Electrical Services in Euless, Fort Worth, and the Mid-Cities

Is It an Electrical Emergency?

Some electrical problems can wait for a regular appointment. These shouldn't:

• A burning smell or smoke from an outlet, switch, light, or the electrical panel
• Sparks or scorch marks at an outlet, or an outlet or switch plate that's warm to the touch
• A hot or buzzing panel, or a breaker that's hot, melted, or won't reset
• Power out in part of your home while the neighbors still have theirs
• Lights that dim or surge across the house when large appliances turn on, which can point to a loose main connection
• Water near electrical, like a leak into the panel, flooded outlets, or storm damage to the service line or meter

If you see flames or heavy smoke, get everyone out and call 911 first. If a power line is down, stay far away from it and anything it touches, and call 911 and Oncor.

What to Do While You Wait

1. Stay safe. Don't touch a panel, outlet, or appliance that's wet, hot, or sparking, and stay out of standing water near electrical.
2. Cut power to the problem. If you can reach the panel safely and it's dry, turn off the breaker for the affected circuit, or the main breaker if you're unsure.
3. Check with your neighbors. If they're out too, it's likely the utility. Report it to Oncor.
4. Unplug sensitive electronics if power is flickering, so a surge on restore doesn't damage them.
5. Call us at (817) 600-8376 and tell us what you're seeing, smelling, or hearing. The details help us arrive prepared.

How After-Hours Calls Work

Searching for a 24 hour electrician in Grapevine, Euless, or Keller? Here's exactly what happens when you call us outside business hours. Your call is answered by our answering service, any time of day. They take down what's going on and where, and book your visit into our next open appointment, usually the next business day. No voicemail box, and no calling around in the middle of the night hoping someone picks up.

Our electricians work Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. If anything in the list above is happening right now, make it safe first using the steps above, and call 911 for fire, smoke, or a downed line.

Our Process

1. Make it safe. A licensed electrician isolates the problem so there's no ongoing risk to your home or family.
2. Diagnosis. We find the real cause, not just the symptom: a failed breaker, a loose connection, a damaged wire, or the panel itself.
3. Clear pricing before work begins. You get a clear, itemized price before we start any repair. No surprises.
4. Repair. We fix it to National Electrical Code and test the circuit under normal load.
5. Walkthrough. We explain what happened in plain English and what, if anything, to watch for next.

When an Emergency Points to a Bigger Problem

Most emergency calls end with a single repair. But a panel that runs hot, breakers that keep failing, or a home that's outgrown its electrical service can turn into the next emergency. Some older panels, including Federal Pacific Stab-Lok and Zinsco, have breakers with a history of failing to trip. If we see that, we'll tell you honestly and let you decide. See Electrical Panel Repair, Electrical Panel Upgrades & Replacement, and Whole-Home Surge Protection for storm-season protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer 24 hour emergency electrical service?

Our phone is answered around the clock, and our electricians work Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. If you call after hours, our answering service takes down what's happening and books your visit into our next open appointment, usually the next business day. For fire, smoke, or a downed power line, call 911 first. Call (817) 600-8376.

What counts as an electrical emergency?

Anything with heat, smoke, sparks, or a burning smell. Also a panel that buzzes or feels hot, a breaker that won't stay on for an important circuit, power lost to part of your home, or water that has reached outlets, wiring, or the panel.

Should I call the power company or an electrician?

If your whole street is dark or a power line is down, call Oncor first: that's a utility problem, and a line on the ground is a 911 call. If your neighbors have power and you don't, or only part of your home is out, the problem is likely on your side, and that's where we come in.

What should I do if an outlet sparks or smells like it's burning?

Stop using it, unplug what you safely can, and turn off that circuit's breaker at the panel. Don't use it again until an electrician has opened it up. If you see smoke or flames, get everyone out and call 911.

Can I keep resetting a breaker that keeps tripping?

Reset it once. If it trips again right away, leave it off and call us. Repeated resets on a short or ground fault can damage wiring. Our circuit breaker repair page explains the common causes.
