An electrical emergency is not something to sleep on. A burning smell, a warm or discolored outlet, sparks, a panel that buzzes, or a partial power loss can all point to a fault that is one short away from a fire. When you call Peak Property Electric, you reach our crew directly, and we get a licensed electrician to you fast.
Call us right away if you notice
- A burning or fishy smell near outlets, switches, or the panel
- Outlets or switch plates that are warm, buzzing, or discolored
- Sparks, arcing, or a breaker that trips the instant you reset it
- A downed or damaged service line, mast, or meter after a storm
- Loss of power to part of the house with no tripped breaker
- Flickering that gets worse, or lights that dim when appliances run
What to do while you wait
If it is safe to reach, switch off the affected circuit at the breaker, or shut off the main if you smell burning and cannot find the source. Keep people and pets away from any sparking or downed line, and never touch a wet or damaged panel. Then call us and we will talk you through staying safe until we arrive.
Storm damage and downed service
High winds and fallen limbs pull service lines off the house every year on the North Shore. We handle emergency service and mast repairs, coordinate with ComEd when the utility side is involved, and get you safely back online.
