Emergency Electrician for Petersburg homes and businesses
Metro Detroit homes work their electrical systems hard, and more so every year as EV chargers, central air and home offices are added. In Petersburg and across Monroe County, we check the capacity of the panel and service before we begin emergency electrical work, so that nothing new is hung on a system that is already full.
What to do while you wait for the electrician
First, stay safe. If you see flames or smoke, leave the building and call 911. If a wire is down outside, stay well away and call your utility. For anything else, switch off the affected breaker, or the main breaker if you cannot tell which one it is, and unplug what you can from the circuit. Do not keep resetting a breaker that trips, and never touch a panel that is wet, buzzing or hot. Then call (888) 633-7804. Our after hours electrician for Petersburg will ask a few questions, give you clear instructions and get to you as quickly as roads and weather allow.

Emergency Electrician in Petersburg: common questions
Is there an emergency electrician open now in Petersburg?
Yes. MQT Electricians takes emergency calls for Petersburg 24/7. Call (888) 633-7804 at any hour.
What counts as an electrical emergency?
Anything involving burning smells, sparks, smoke, shocks, water in electrical equipment, or a sudden loss of power that is not a utility outage. If you are unsure, call and we will help you decide.
Should I call the electrician or the power company?
If your neighbors are also out, or a line is down, call the utility first. If only your home is affected, or the utility says the problem is on your side of the meter, call us.
My breaker keeps tripping in Petersburg. Can I just leave it off?
Leaving it off is the right short-term move. The circuit still needs to be tested, because the fault that trips the breaker can also overheat wiring.
