What should I do if I smell burning from an outlet?

Turn off the circuit breaker for that outlet immediately. Don't use the outlet. Call us right away — a burning smell indicates overheating, which is a fire hazard. This is an emergency.

Is it safe to reset a tripped breaker?

You can reset a breaker once. If it trips again immediately or shortly after, don't keep resetting it — there's a fault that needs professional diagnosis. A breaker that trips repeatedly is protecting you from a more serious problem.

My power is out but my neighbors have power. What do I do?

If only your home has no power, check your main breaker first. If the main breaker is on and you still have no power, call us — this could be a failed service connection or a utility issue specific to your home.

How much does emergency electrical service cost?

After-hours emergency service carries a premium over standard rates. We'll tell you the exact rate when you call. Most emergency repairs run $250–$600 depending on the issue and time of day.

What Counts as an Electrical Emergency?

True electrical emergencies include: a burning or plastic smell coming from outlets, switches, or the electrical panel; visible sparks or arcing from outlets or wiring; complete loss of power that isn't caused by a utility outage; a circuit breaker that won't stay reset and is hot to the touch; exposed live wires; flooding or water intrusion near electrical equipment; or any situation where you see smoke or flames. If you're unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call us — we'd rather you call and find out it's minor than not call and have it escalate.

What to Do Before the Electrician Arrives

If you have a burning smell or see sparks, turn off the circuit breaker for that area immediately. If you're unsure which breaker, turn off the main breaker. Don't use the outlet or switch until we've inspected it. If there's smoke or flames, evacuate and call 911 first, then call us. For a complete power outage, check whether your neighbors also have no power — if it's a neighborhood-wide outage, it's a utility issue and you should call Duke Energy or SECO Energy. If only your home is affected, call us.

Emergency Response Time in Poinciana, FL

For true emergencies in Poinciana and the immediate surrounding area, we aim to arrive within 60–90 minutes. Response times may be longer during severe weather events or if we're handling multiple emergencies simultaneously. We'll give you an honest ETA when you call. We serve Poinciana Village, Solivita, Cypress Parkway, Marigold Avenue, and the Lake Marion area, as well as Kissimmee, Davenport, and Haines City.

After-Hours Emergency Rates

Emergency service outside of normal business hours (Monday–Saturday 7am–6pm) carries a higher rate than standard service. We'll tell you the rate before we come out — no surprises. For true emergencies, the cost of professional service is far less than the cost of a house fire or insurance claim from DIY electrical work gone wrong.

Common Electrical Emergencies We Handle

Our team handles all types of electrical emergencies: burning outlets and switches (usually caused by loose connections or overloaded circuits), tripped main breakers that won't reset, partial power loss (often a failed service leg), exposed or damaged wiring, panel issues including breakers that won't hold, and post-storm electrical damage. We also respond to emergencies caused by flooding — water and electricity are a dangerous combination that requires professional assessment before power is restored.
