Emergency Electrician in San Diego, CA
There are electrical problems that are merely an inconvenience and then there are the urgent ones. It is important to tell them apart since some issues pose a safety hazard and you can’t put them off for an appointment during normal business hours.
For those kinds of situations in San Diego, Mauzy Electric is on hand with our emergency service. Our team of electricians are fully licensed to California C10 standards and have the necessary parts and materials right on their trucks so they can come to your home and deal with the problem as it happens.
Here are the sorts of things that call for an emergency response:
A burning smell or scorch marks. If you detect the odor of burning plastic from a switch, outlet or panel, or spot any scorching around a breaker, you are looking at a fire risk. Do not use the circuit; shut off the breaker if you know which one it is and get in touch with us for emergency service.
Sparking fixtures or outlets. You might see a small spark now and then when you plug something in and that’s fine. But if the sparks are large, keep happening, or come with a pop, you have a wiring issue that has to be looked at right away.
The breaker won’t stay put. One trip after an overload is what you want from a breaker. When it trips over and over on the same circuit or refuses to reset, it is a sign of trouble with the panel or the circuit.
Power going out in part of the house. Assuming it isn’t a utility outage or a tripped breaker, a loss of power in one area means there is a fault in the system. Whether it is a bad breaker or a wiring issue, you need a pro to make a safe diagnosis.
Wiring exposed by a storm or accident. Any time water or an accident has left wiring compromised or bare, consider it a safety emergency and don’t try to do anything with it yourself.
Flickering lights. Appliances turning on and causing the lights to dim or flicker could mean an undersized circuit or a loose connection at the panel. If it is happening all over the house and not just in one spot, an electrician should check it out.
