Signs of an Electrical Emergency

Identifying electrical emergencies can be challenging since they may initially appear as minor issues requiring routine repairs. However, it's crucial never to underestimate electrical problems, as faulty wiring systems can lead to severe damage or even emergency situations such as electrical fires. 

Keep an eye out for the following signs, which may indicate an electrical emergency that requires the help of an electrician right away:

An Unidentified Burning Smell

If you detect an unusual burning smell in your home, pay close attention to its persistence and location. Check all appliances, outlets, ducts, and the breaker box to pinpoint the source. An unidentified burning odor, particularly one reminiscent of burning plastic, could indicate an electrical hazard that requires immediate attention.

A Buzzing or Humming Sound in Breaker Box

It's normal for a breaker box to emit a slight humming sound due to the electrical current passing through it. However, if you notice a significantly louder buzzing or humming noise, it's crucial to act swiftly. This could indicate an overloaded circuit breaker, which has the potential to cause hot wiring and create 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

Occasional flickering lights may indicate a minor issue with a faulty lightbulb or switch, usually not cause for major concern. However, if your lights flicker persistently and for an extended period, it could be a sign of a more serious problem like circuit overload, excess voltage, or loose wiring. These issues pose electrical hazards and require immediate inspection and attention.

Someone Received an Electrical Shock

Electrical shocks can occur in various situations, including:

  • Using old two-prong outlets without a ground wire as a safety barrier.
  • Outlets or switches with loose screws or wiring, leading to unstable electrical currents.
  • Faulty appliances with frayed wiring or broken cords that cause shocks when plugged in.
  • Handling electrical outlets with damp hands or in proximity to water sources.

If you suspect an electrical emergency, do not hesitate to call a qualified emergency electrician immediately. The dedicated Kansas City emergency electricians at Mister Sparky® are ready and available to respond to your call right away.
