Emergency electrical help in Jackson
In an electrical emergency in Jackson, 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 39201.
Jackson gets tornado outbreaks from late winter through spring and again in late fall, lightning-heavy storms through summer and humidity that barely lets up. Belhaven, Fondren and the older streets near downtown have early and mid-1900s homes whose services have been stretched by decades of added air conditioning, and heavy rain floods low streets and creeks with little warning.
What an electrician tends to find here
Air conditioning runs from April into October, and the disconnect beside the unit sits in humidity all year, so a corroded disconnect is a common reason a breaker keeps tripping in Jackson.
Belhaven and Fondren homes have been updated in stages, and central air or a remodeled kitchen on a small original service with a fuse box is a frequent find.
Mississippi has a second tornado season in November and December, so damaged service equipment can turn up in almost any month here.
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 Jackson?
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 spring or late-fall tornado pulling the meter base off the side of the house.
Lightning surges over a long storm season damaging panels and air conditioning controls.
Fuse panels, small services and aluminum branch wiring overheating with air conditioning on for months.
Creek and street flooding reaching crawlspaces, outdoor boxes and low outlets.
Humid air corroding meter sockets and outdoor connections, causing on-and-off power.

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.
