The four common types of electrical emergencies are (1) a power outage, (2) electrical burning smells, (3) humming from the fuse box, and (4) scorch marks on electrical installations.

1. Power Outage: If you are unable to bring your power back up and running, there may be scheduled repair works being conducted in your area by the UK Power Network or your electricity provider. Make sure to check on the link provided if your area is affected. If you are still unable to find out why give us a call and we’ll send our emergency electricians. It’s important to remember electrical problems can become electrical hazards if not inspected by a qualified person.
2. Electrical Burning Smells: If you notice melting plastic or insulation from one of your appliances, switch them off immediately. If the electrical malfunction is coming from an electrical installation, leave it alone and contact our emergency team for guidance.
3. Humming Noise from Fuse Box: If you notice humming or buzzing sounds coming from your fuse box, this could be a sign that your consumer board is failing to disconnect a circuit. This can be quite serious as the circuit that is causing the issue must have encountered a fault which can lead to harmful electric shocks.
4. Scorch Marks: If you notice an electrical installation or fitting with scorch marks, this means there is arching or an overloaded outlet. You may notice heat output coming from the installation or fitting along with black or brown burn marks. Avoid touching it and contact an electrician immediately.
