Common Electrical Emergencies — Answered
Not sure if your situation is an emergency? Here's what to do.
What should I do if I have a power cut?
Check your fuse box for tripped switches or blown fuses first. If your neighbours have power but you don't, the fault is internal — that's an electrical emergency. Call us on 01258 451234 and we'll get an electrician to you fast.
My RCD keeps tripping — is that an emergency?
Yes. A repeatedly tripping RCD means there's a fault in your circuit — often a damaged appliance or faulty wiring. Don't keep resetting it. Switch off appliances one by one to isolate the fault, and call our emergency line if it doesn't resolve.
I can smell burning from a plug or switch — what do I do?
A burning smell from electrical fittings is a fire risk. Turn off power to the affected circuit at the fuse box immediately and call us. This is one of the most common causes of house fires and should never be ignored.
