“When we had an emergency over the long weekend. Tristan sent his crew over within 30 minutes—talk about fast and reliable!
I wouldn’t even think of going with another company. Highly recommend these guys—they’re the best!” – Ed K.

Electrical Emergency Procedures

Call us at 604-308-6195 if you need an electrician. Here are a few general guidelines about what you should do in the event of an emergency and you need an out of hours electrician:

Turn off power at the breaker before touching anything electrical, keep outlets and cords dry, use properly grounded outlets, and call a licensed electrician if you notice sparks, damage, or tingling sensations.

Water conducts electricity so never pour water on an electrical fire; use ABC fire extinguisher only. If possible, disconnect the power source and immediately call our 24 hour electrician.

Always keep a safe distance (at least 10 meters) between you and any downed power lines. Remain inside your vehicle and call our emergency electrician if a live downed power line should fall across your vehicle.

Electrical Emergency FAQ’s

An electrical emergency poses an immediate risk to safety or property. Common indicators include:

  • Burning smells or smoke from outlets or panels
  • Sparks or arcing when plugging in devices
  • Buzzing or humming sounds from outlets or switches
  • Warm or discolored outlets
  • Frequent tripping of circuit breakers
  • Water exposure to electrical outlets or panels
  • Power loss affecting critical systems or appliances

If you observe any of these signs, call our Premium Electric emergency electrician immediately at 604-308-6195.

Response times vary based on location and availability. At Premium Electric, we strive to arrive within 30 minutes to an hour.

Immediately turn off the power to that circuit at your electrical panel. If safe to do so, unplug any devices connected to the outlet. Avoid using water to extinguish any flames; instead, use a Class C fire extinguisher. Then, call us at 604-308-6195 for an emergency electrician.

No. Buzzing sounds often indicate issues such as loose wiring, overloaded circuits, or faulty outlets. These problems can lead to electrical fires. Discontinue use and contact Premium Electric.

A hot breaker panel signals potential overloads or faulty connections. Turn off all breakers and avoid using electrical appliances. Call us at 604-308-6195 to have our emergency electrician come inspect and address the issue .

Attempting DIY electrical repairs is highly discouraged due to safety risks and potential code violations. Licensed electricians are trained to diagnose and resolve issues safely and efficiently. Inadequate repairs can lead to further damage, increased costs, and could affect your insurance coverage.

Consider scheduling an electrical inspection if you experience:

  • Frequent breaker trips
  • Flickering or dimming lights
  • Warm or discolored outlets
  • Outlets that don’t work
  • Unusual noises from your electrical panel

Regular electrical inspections can identify potential hazards before they become emergencies.

First, check if the outage affects only your property or the surrounding neighbourhood. If only your home is affected, inspect your breaker panel for tripped breakers. If resetting breakers doesn’t restore power, or if you notice signs of electrical issues, contact our emergency electrician. For widespread outages, report the issue to BC Hydro at 1-800-224-9376.

Electrical fires often result from:

  • Overloaded circuits
  • Faulty wiring or outdated electrical systems
  • Improperly maintained electrical panels
  • Use of damaged or frayed cords and plugs
  • Incorrectly installed or malfunctioning appliances

Regular electrical safety inspections and maintenance can help prevent these hazards.

Upon arrival, the electrician will:

  • Assess the situation to identify hazards
  • Provide a clear explanation of the issue
  • Offer a transparent estimate for repairs
  • Perform necessary repairs or provide a temporary solution
  • Advise on safety measures and future prevention

Our Premium Electric licensed electricians prioritize safety and compliance with local codes.
