Answers to Your Biggest Electrical Questions From St. Augustine's 24/7 Electricians

Burning smells, smoke, sparking outlets, a hot or buzzing panel, exposed wires, and sudden power loss with signs of damage should all be treated as urgent. If you see smoke or flames, leave the building and call 911 first. For other urgent issues, call us any time, since we are open 24 hours a day.

If it is safe to reach your panel, switch off the affected circuit and keep everyone away from the problem area. Do not touch outlets, wiring, or appliances if there is any water nearby, and do not try to patch a damaged wire yourself.
