    What you need to know.

    Electrical emergencies do not keep office hours. A panel that is warm to the touch, a breaker that trips the instant you reset it, or the smell of melting plastic behind an outlet are all live faults, and they get worse the longer they run.

    A real licensed electrician answers the phone, not a call center reading a script. You get clear arrival timing, diagnosis and a safe make-safe repair on the first visit wherever possible, and a written plan for anything that needs follow-up work in daylight. We serve Milton, Quincy, Braintree, Weymouth, Hingham, Scituate and Cohasset, every day of the year.

    For a full breakdown of what to do while you wait, read Electrical Emergency? What to Do Before the Electrician Arrives.

    Call immediately if you have

    Burning or melting smell

    Any hot plastic smell near outlets, switches or the panel is an active fault.

    Smoke, sparks or arcing

    Visible sparking, arcing or scorch marks on devices, cover plates or the panel.

    A hot or buzzing panel

    A panel that hums, buzzes or is warm to the touch needs eyes on it now.

    A breaker that will not hold

    A breaker tripping instantly every time you reset it is telling you there is a short.

    Storm and water damage

    Downed service line, damaged mast, meter pulled off the house, or water in the panel.

    Shocks or sudden power loss

    Shocks from an appliance, faucet or switch plate, or total power loss while neighbors still have theirs.

    How it works.

    01

    Call us, any hour

    A real licensed electrician answers, day or night, holidays included. Tell us what you are seeing and smelling.

    02

    Make it safe on the phone

    Shut off the affected circuit at the panel if you can do it safely. If the panel is smoking, hot or arcing, leave and call 911 first.

    03

    Clear arrival timing

    We tell you when we will be there, and the emergency rate, before we dispatch. No surprises.

    04

    Diagnose the actual fault

    We find the cause instead of swapping parts, and explain it in plain language.

    05

    Repair or make safe

    Most faults are repaired on the first visit. Anything larger gets isolated safely with a written plan for daylight work.

    No surprise invoices.

    Emergency and after-hours calls are billed at an emergency rate, and we tell you that rate on the phone before we dispatch. The repair itself is priced and approved before we start it.

    Common questions.

    Do you really answer at night and on holidays?+

    Yes. Emergency electrical service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays.

    Is there an emergency rate?+

    After-hours and emergency calls are billed at an emergency rate, disclosed before we dispatch. No surprises.

    Is my problem an emergency?+

    If you smell burning, see sparks, feel heat at the panel, or have lost power to life-safety equipment, yes. If you are unsure, call and we will tell you honestly.
