We at ACS Accent Comfort Services have been providing electrical services for over 20 years, and we want to help you keep your electrical system in good working order. If you are experiencing problems with your lighting, fuses, or other electrical components, we encourage you to give us a call right away. Our team will then assess the problem and provide services as needed—if the problem is severe, we will dispatch one of our technicians to provide emergency electrical service as soon as possible. In this article, we will go over a few ways to tell if you require emergency electrical service.
- Smoke – If any part of your electrical system is producing smoke, you need emergency electrical services. Similarly, if you start to smell burning plastic, rubber, or anything else coming from your outlets, switch plates, fuses, or other components, you should shut off power to that part of your home and contact our team right away.
- Arcing – Another sign you need emergency electrical service can be seen in your outlets. If you go to plug something in and get a visible arc of electric current between the plug and the outlet, you should give us a call right away. You may also see scorch marks around your outlets if arcing becomes a problem, and both issues are signs of a faulty connection.
- Sizzling Sounds – A third sign you need emergency electrical services is strange sounds coming from your electrical panel or from individual outlets or switches. If you start to hear buzzing, sizzling, or crackling sounds coming from your electrical system, you should call us right away, as these sounds indicate there is a problem with your wiring or other components.
