Emergency electrical help in Atlanta
In an electrical emergency in Atlanta, move everyone away from whatever is sparking, smoking or smelling hot. If there is smoke or flame, get out and call the fire department first. If the panel is safe to reach, turn off that breaker or the main and keep clear of water. Then call Hire Local Electrician and give us ZIP 30301.
Falling trees start many of Atlanta's electrical emergencies. Pines and oaks fall on service drops in most strong thunderstorms, lightning is frequent from spring through summer, and intown neighborhoods like Grant Park, Kirkwood, Inman Park and the West End are full of early-1900s bungalows and Victorians never wired for central air.
What an electrician tends to find here
Two decades of intown remodeling left many houses with a new kitchen and central air running on the original service, and that mismatch is behind a lot of tripping mains and warm panels.
A drop torn off by a falling tree is still dangerous after Georgia Power cuts the street, because a generator or a re-energized line can put voltage back on it, so stay clear and call.
Ice storms are rare in Atlanta but hit hard when they come, and with so many overhead lines under trees, a single night of ice can damage drops on block after block.
Call now if
- A burning smell near outlets, switches or the panel
- Visible sparking, arcing or scorch marks
- A shock from an appliance, switch, faucet or fixture
- Water reaching outlets, the panel or wiring
- A breaker that will not stay reset, or a panel that is hot to the touch
- Total power loss when neighboring homes still have power
Local pattern
What causes electrical emergencies in Atlanta?
Here, the weather, the age of the house and the grid decide what fails after dark, and the season decides which one you meet first.
A pine or oak limb landing on the drop and ripping the weatherhead or meter base off the house.
Lightning damage to the panel, the air conditioning controls and plugged-in electronics.
Intown bungalows on 60 amp services or fuse boxes, with cloth-covered wire failing under modern loads.
Older panels and air conditioning breakers running hot through a long, humid summer.
Creek flooding and water in low basements after a summer cloudburst.

What do I do
until help arrives?
If you can reach it safely, switch off the breaker feeding the affected area. That removes the immediate hazard in most situations.
Don't touch anything that's wet and electrical, and keep everyone away from water that may be in contact with power.
Smoke or a burning smell from a wall, ceiling or panel is a fire risk. Get out and call the fire department first, then call us.
Unplug appliances on the affected circuit so nothing restarts unexpectedly once power is restored.
Note what happened and when, and tell us on the call. It helps the electrician go straight to the likely fault.
