Common Electrical Emergencies We Handle
Portland’s historic homes in neighborhoods like Ladd’s Addition, Beaumont, and Kenton often experience unique electrical emergencies due to their age and original wiring systems.
Our experienced team is equipped to handle:
- Power outages affecting only your home
- Burning smells from outlets or electrical panels
- Sparking outlets or switches
- Frequent circuit breaker trips
- Hot electrical panels
- Flickering lights throughout your home
- Electrical damage after storms
- Exposed or damaged wiring
- Water-damaged electrical systems
Fuse Box and Panel Emergencies
Many Portland homes in neighborhoods like Arbor Lodge and Hollywood still operate with outdated electrical panels or fuse boxes that can suddenly fail. When your fuse box keeps blowing or your electrical panel is hot to the touch, these are serious warning signs that require immediate attention.
Our emergency services include:
- Emergency panel replacements
- Fuse replacements
- Circuit breaker repairs
- Panel safety inspections
- Temporary power solutions
Power Outage Troubleshooting
When your Sellwood or Kenton home loses power while neighboring houses remain lit, the issue likely lies within your home’s electrical system rather than with the utility company. Our emergency electricians can quickly diagnose whether the problem is in your panel, a tripped GFCI outlet, or damaged service lines.
Electrical Fire Prevention
The charming older homes throughout North, Northeast, and Southeast Portland can be particularly vulnerable to electrical fire risks. If you notice warning signs like burning odors, discolored outlets, or unusual warmth around electrical fixtures, don’t wait – these are potential fire hazards that require immediate professional attention.
