Emergency Electrical Repairs in NJ

If you see flames or smoke, call 911 before you call an electrician. Some electrical problems can wait for a scheduled visit and others cannot. The ones that cannot include a sparking or smoking outlet, a burning smell you cannot find, a panel that is buzzing or hot, a total loss of power while the neighbors still have theirs, and exposed wiring where children can reach it.

Trapani Electric takes emergency calls across Morris, Passaic, Essex, Bergen, and Union Counties. There is no call center. Erik answers the phone himself, tells you what to do right away, and gets to you as fast as the day allows. Response is quickest in Parsippany and the towns around it.

What Counts as an Emergency

Call us right away if you have any of the following:

  • Sparking or smoking outlets or switches
  • A burning or hot plastic smell near electrical equipment
  • Total loss of power that is not a utility outage
  • Exposed or damaged wiring
  • A panel that is buzzing, warm, or has scorch marks
  • Water coming into contact with wiring or the panel
  • A main breaker that keeps tripping
  • Anyone getting a shock from an outlet or appliance

If you see flames or smoke, leave the building and call 911 first, and then call us.

FAQs

Common Questions

What counts as an electrical emergency?
Anything that could start a fire or shock someone, including sparking, burning smells, hot panels, exposed wiring, or a shock from an outlet. Flickering lights and a single tripped breaker are worth a call, but they can usually wait for a scheduled visit.
Do you charge extra for emergency calls?
After-hours calls are quoted differently from a scheduled visit. We tell you the price before any work starts. A visit to find and fix a problem is not a free estimate, and a diagnostic fee usually applies.
How quickly can you respond?
Erik takes emergency calls himself and is usually quickest in Morris County, because that is where he is based. The exact timing depends on where he is and what is already on the calendar, and he will tell you straight when you call.
Should I turn off my main breaker during an emergency?
If the panel is dry and safe to reach, turning off the main breaker will stop further damage. If you smell burning or see smoke, do not touch the panel. Leave the building, call 911, and then call us.

Sparking or a Burning Smell at the Panel

Stop using the panel and call us right away. We answer emergency calls as fast as we can.
