What counts as an electrical emergency
A breaker that keeps tripping
A breaker that trips once under an overloaded circuit is normal. One that trips repeatedly, immediately, or without an obvious cause is worth having looked at — we diagnose what's actually causing it rather than just resetting it and hoping.
A dead outlet, switch, or GFCI
An outlet or switch that's suddenly dead, or a GFCI outlet that won't reset, is usually a fast diagnosis — but a warm or discolored outlet cover is worth calling about right away rather than waiting.
A light fixture or ceiling fan that's stopped working
Sometimes it's the fixture, sometimes it's the switch, sometimes it's the wiring behind either one. We check all three rather than guessing.
A smoke or CO detector alarming or chirping
A low-battery chirp is a five-minute fix. A detector alarming for real is not something to wait on — call us, and call your local fire department if you smell smoke or suspect an active hazard.
When to call a licensed electrical contractor instead
A burning smell with no clear source, sparking at a panel, or anything involving your main electrical service is beyond handyman-level electrical work — that needs a licensed NJ electrical contractor, and if it feels like an active fire hazard, call 911 first. New circuit installation, panel work, and service upgrades also need a licensed electrical contractor; we say so plainly rather than taking on a job outside that line.
For everything inside our real scope — outlets, switches, fixtures, fans, breaker diagnostics — the same promise applies as any other job: a written estimate before we start, even on an emergency call.
