Is It an Electrical Emergency?

Call us right away if you notice:

  • A burning smell or smoke from an outlet, switch, light fixture, or your electrical panel
  • Sparks, scorch marks, or outlets and switches that are hot to the touch
  • A breaker that trips again immediately every time you reset it
  • Part of your home without power while your neighbors still have it
  • Buzzing or crackling from the panel or inside a wall
  • Water near outlets, the panel, or wiring after a leak or flood

Call 911 first if there is fire, smoke you can’t trace, or someone has been shocked. Report downed power lines and neighborhood outages to Dominion Energy. Never touch or go near a downed line.

What to Do Before We Arrive

  1. Stay safe. Don’t touch damaged outlets, cords, or anything wet near electricity.
  2. Shut off power to the problem area. Turn off the affected breaker at your panel if you can reach it safely and without standing in water.
  3. Unplug sensitive electronics on the affected circuits.
  4. Don’t keep resetting a breaker that trips immediately. It’s protecting you from a fault.
  5. Call (804) 912-6521 and describe what you’re seeing so we can prioritize your visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • My outlet smells like it’s burning. What should I do?

    Stop using it, turn off its breaker if it’s safe to do so, and call us. A burning smell usually means a loose connection or a failing device that can overheat.

  • Should I reset a breaker that keeps tripping?

    Once, yes. If it trips again immediately, leave it off and call us. Repeated tripping means the breaker is protecting you from a short, overload, or ground fault.

  • How much does an emergency electrical repair cost?

    It depends on what’s wrong. A failed breaker costs far less than panel damage. You’ll get a written price before repair work starts. Our electrical repair cost guide explains typical ranges.

  • How fast can you get to my home?

    It depends on our schedule and your location. Call (804) 912-6521, describe the problem, and we’ll give you the earliest available time. We prioritize urgent safety issues.

  • Do you offer 24/7 emergency electrical service?

    No. We handle urgent electrical problems during business hours, Monday–Friday, 8 AM–5 PM. For fire, smoke, or electric shock, call 911. For downed power lines or outages, contact Dominion Energy.
