Call (618) 954-9594When to treat it as urgent
Some electrical problems can wait for a scheduled visit. These should not. Call right away if you notice:
- Lost power to rooms or circuits while the utility is otherwise on
- A burning smell, smoke, or scorch marks at an outlet or the panel
- Sparking, arcing, or loud buzzing from a device or the panel
- A panel or breaker that is hot to the touch
- Exposed, damaged, or sparking wiring
- Water near electrical panels, outlets, or fixtures
What to do right now
Before help arrives, keep yourself safe:
- If you see fire, smell strong burning, or fear immediate danger, call 911 first
- Stop using the affected outlet, fixture, or circuit
- If you can reach the panel safely and dry, switch off the main breaker
- Keep away from any water that is near electrical equipment
- Do not attempt repairs inside a live panel
- Then call us so we can guide you and get on the way
How Sackett helps in a hurry
Sackett Electric answers the phone when other electricians let it ring, gathering details and talking you through the situation while we do. Most callers get scheduled within hours, and if a failed panel is tied to a home-warranty claim, we work directly with the warranty company so power comes back as fast as possible.
