Signs of an Electrical Emergency

Electrical emergencies can be difficult to identify, as they can often appear to be just a nuisance that requires a mundane repair. However, electrical problems should never be taken lightly, as a faulty wiring system can cause serious damage or even lead to an emergency situation. It's important to look out for the following signs of an electrical emergency:

An Unidentified Burning Smell

Does the smell stick around or does it come and go? Are your smoke detectors beeping or going off? Inspect all of your appliances, outlets, ducts, and your breaker box to see if you can find the source. An unidentified burning odor could be an electrical hazard, especially if it smells like burning plastic..

A Buzzing or Humming Sound in Breaker Box

Because of the electrical current running through it, a slight humming sound from your breaker box is normal. However, if you notice the buzzing or humming is significantly louder than normal, you should quickly take action as that can mean that the circuit breaker is overloaded. An overloaded circuit breaker can lead to hot wiring, which can in turn cause a life-threatening fire hazard.

Circuit Breaker Keeps Tripping Repeatedly

There are a few common reasons circuit breakers often trip, including:

The circuit breaker box is going bad
A circuit overload the breaker box cannot accommodate
A ground fault is occurring, meaning a hot wire is touching the ground
An appliance or wire is short-circuiting, meaning the electrical flow has gone outside the intended circuit

Lights Continuously Flicker

If your lights are only occasionally flickering, it’s probably only a minor problem with a faulty lightbulb or switch. If your lights are flickering constantly and for a prolonged period of time, it could signal a more serious problem like a circuit overload, excess voltage, or loose wiring. These represent electrical hazards and should be inspected right away.

Someone Received an Electrical Shock

There are many situations where one can experience electrical shock, such as:

Old outlets that are two-prong and therefore have no ground wire as a safety barrier
An outlet or switch with loose screws or wiring makes the electrical current unstable
Faulty appliances, including frayed wiring or broken cords that shock you when you plug them in
Water sources near electricity, or touching outlets with damp hands

If you suspect you’re facing an electrical emergency, call an electrician immediately. The qualified technicians at Mister Sparky® of Austin are ready and waiting for your call.

Casey Tuohy

We removed some fluorescent lights from our kitchen and found that there were no ceiling brackets to install updated light fixtures. Also, with two fluorescent light fixtures. It meant there were two sets of wires protruding from the ceiling about a foot apart, which would look weird, so we wanted tohave one set of wires removed, and a mounting box set for the other wires and have a new light fixture place. Burton arrived early and knocked out all work within 30 minutes. Impressed with his punctuality and the speed in which he completed the work. He was also friendly, but professional. He listened to my concerns before and after work. Highly recommended! Photo is from before he cleaned up after the work was done, but he took the time to clean up, insisting he wouldn’t feel finished without the clean up.

The experience started off great. We got the 2nd option bc our house is over 30 years old. So lots of work, costing 19k. Something that cost that much, I expect everything to be done correctly. First day went great. They went a little late, 8pm. I have a 3 yr old so I worried about noises outside; everything went well. The next day started off ok. It was at the end of the day when I felt they were trying to rush things. They told me they did completed the outlet and switch in the attic, they said they sealed the outlet outside. They said they would come back when they have a replacement for my mirror cover, and switch the outlet outside to the design we want. One of the guys left their shirt, it’s yours Johnny! We did the walk through in such a hurry that I noticed after the walk through they didn’t replace a switch in my closet and forgot to add a cover to a switch in my office. I hope to hear from them to get these things take. Care of bc I paid for it. UPDATE: I called Mr. Sparky and gave them a list of items they needed to finish. Eddie came out the next day and fixed everything. Thank you so much! I would recommend them!

I needed some dedicated outlets installed in my garage for a freezer and my water heater and also an extra outlet in the bathroom. I kept hearing Mr. Sparky's jingle in my head so I went to their website and booked an appointment. The very next day I was visited by Logan Roberts, a super nice, knowledgeable young man who first inspected my home electrical system to make sure everything was safe and in good shape. He went through his report with me and then went to work installing my new outlets, as well as a home surge protection package. He assured me that if I needed anything else, they'd be there to help me 24/7 and yo know what? I believe him. I'm very happy with the service I received and will definitely use them in the future. Highly recommend! P.S. Mr. Sparky, you should hang onto this young man. He's the real deal.

Cory was incredibly professional, punctual, and positive. He gave us clear answers to our electrical questions and reasonable cost estimates for the work. He walked us through the options for installing a electric vehicle charger so we could make an informed decision. Would definitely work with him again!

Brent Wilson

Contacted Mister Sparky to help with install of an EV charger plug. Was assisted by Nathanael and Ramiro. Nathanael arrived early, which worked great with my schedule. I asked him to install an additional 110V plug next to the charger plug, so he went to get additional parts. Ramiro joined to help with the work and stayed late to finish the job. I’m very happy with the results and would definitely work with them again.
