24 Hour Emergency Electrical Services
Scope of work
Six Things We Get Called For.
When something goes wrong unexpectedly, you need an electrician who can quickly determine what’s happening and what needs to be done. We respond to urgent electrical issues for residential, commercial, strata, and industrial properties throughout the Lower Mainland.
Power Loss & Electrical Outages
Lost power to part or all of your property? We troubleshoot unexpected outages to locate the source of the problem and determine the safest way to restore power.
Tripping Breakers & Electrical Faults
Repeatedly tripping breakers, blown fuses, and unexplained electrical faults can indicate a larger problem. We identify the cause instead of simply resetting the system.
Burning Smells & Overheating
Unusual heat, burning smells, buzzing, or signs of damaged electrical equipment should be investigated quickly. We can assess the issue and safely isolate affected equipment where necessary.
Panel & Breaker Problems
Emergency troubleshooting and repairs for electrical panels, breakers, disconnects, and related distribution equipment.
Commercial & Strata Emergencies
Urgent electrical support for businesses, strata properties, common areas, building systems, and other properties where electrical failures can cause major disruption.
Emergency Repairs
When a problem can be safely repaired during the call-out, we’ll complete the necessary work to restore your electrical system. If additional work is required, we’ll make the situation safe and explain the next steps.

Common questions
Asked Before Most Quotes.
Every entrance is a little different. The existing door, available power, building use, and accessibility requirements all help determine the right automatic operator setup.
When You’re Not Sure If It Can Wait.
Some electrical issues are inconvenient. Others can indicate a serious fault. If you’re dealing with signs of overheating, damaged electrical equipment, repeated power loss, or another urgent electrical problem, it’s better to have it assessed.
What counts as an electrical emergency?
Sudden power loss, burning smells, sparking, overheating electrical equipment, repeatedly tripping breakers, damaged panels, and electrical faults affecting essential equipment can all require urgent attention.
Do you provide emergency electrical service after regular business hours?
Yes. Our emergency electrical service is available 24 hours a day for electrical problems that require urgent attention.
Can you fix the problem during the emergency call?
Often, yes. It depends on the cause of the problem, the equipment involved, and whether replacement parts or additional work are required. If a permanent repair can’t be completed immediately, we’ll focus on making the situation safe and determining the next steps.
What should I do if I smell burning or see sparks?
Avoid touching the affected equipment or attempting electrical repairs yourself. If there is smoke, fire, or an immediate danger to people or property, leave the area and contact emergency services. Once it is safe to do so, an electrician can assess the electrical system.
