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 Michigan will ask a few questions, give you clear instructions and get to you as quickly as roads and weather allow.

Signs you need an emergency electrician

Burning smell, smoke or scorch marks at an outlet, switch or panel
No power in the house, or half the house is dead
Sparks, popping or buzzing from an outlet or the breaker box
A breaker that will not reset or trips immediately
Water has reached outlets, the panel or basement wiring
Lights surge bright and dim across the whole home

What is included

Power outage electrician: No power in the house while the neighbors have lights usually points to your main breaker, meter base or service cable. We find it and restore power safely.
Sparking outlet repair: An outlet that sparks, pops or shows scorch marks has a loose or failing connection. Stop using it and call.
Burning smell from wiring: A hot plastic or fishy smell near an outlet, switch or the panel means something is overheating. Shut off the breaker if you can do so safely.
Breaker keeps tripping: Repeated trips point to an overload, a short or a failing breaker. We test the circuit and repair the cause.
Flickering lights: Whole-house flicker or lights that brighten and dim together can signal a loose neutral, which needs same-day attention.
Electrical short repair: Shorts and ground faults traced with test equipment and repaired at the source.
Electrical fire and storm damage repair: After the fire department or utility clears the scene, we repair damaged wiring, panels, masts and meter bases so power can be restored.

What does an emergency electrician cost in Michigan?

Emergency electrical repair in Michigan is priced according to the time of the call, the parts needed and how long it takes to make the system safe. Our priority on an emergency visit is to remove the hazard and restore power. If a larger repair is needed, you get a written price before we go further, and it can often be scheduled for normal hours to keep costs down.

Emergency Electrician: common questions

Is there an emergency electrician open now in Michigan?

Yes. MQT Electricians takes emergency calls for Michigan 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 Michigan. 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.
