What Counts as an Electrical Emergency?

Some electrical problems can wait for a booked visit — others can’t. Treat it as an emergency and call us straight away if you notice any of these warning signs: a complete or partial loss of power, a circuit breaker or RCD that trips the moment you reset it, a burning or fishy smell near sockets or the fuse board, scorch marks or discolouration around outlets, sockets or switches that are hot to the touch, buzzing or crackling from your consumer unit, sparks when you plug something in, or exposed, damaged or water-affected wiring.

If you can do so safely, switch off at the consumer unit (the main fuse board) to isolate the problem, keep away from anything that’s hot or damaged, and call 01903 721 884. We’ll talk you through making things safe and get an electrician to you as quickly as we can.
