What Counts as an Electrical Emergency

Burning smell from an outlet, switch, or the panel
Sparks or visible arcing from any electrical component
Power out to part of your home (not a PSE&G utility outage)
Breaker that trips immediately and won’t stay reset
Electrical shock from an outlet or switch
Water intrusion near the electrical panel or outlets
Loud buzzing or humming from the breaker panel

What to Do Before the Electrician Arrives

Do not reset a breaker that keeps tripping — there’s a reason it’s tripping
Do not use an outlet or switch that sparked or smells burnt
If you smell burning from the panel, cut power at the main breaker and call immediately
If in doubt about your safety, get out and call 911 before calling an electrician

Frequently Asked Questions

Is emergency service more expensive?

After-hours and same-day calls carry a higher service rate. Pricing is disclosed upfront before any work begins — no surprise charges.

How do I know if it’s my wiring or a JCP&L outage?

If your neighbors have power and you don’t, or if the outage is only in part of your home, it’s likely an internal wiring or panel issue rather than a utility problem. Call us and we can help you determine this before a technician is dispatched.
