Emergency electrical help in Las Vegas
In an electrical emergency in Las Vegas, 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.

Heat drives most electrical emergencies in Las Vegas. Air conditioning runs around the clock from May to September, and the panels and disconnects feeding it hang outside in direct sun, wearing out faster than their ratings suggest. The monsoon adds lightning and flash floods in late summer, and the original neighborhoods around downtown, like Huntridge and John S. Park, have homes from the 1940s through the 1970s on small services.
What an electrician tends to find here
Las Vegas panels live outside, so warm to the touch in July is normal, but a panel that's hot, discolored or smells like burning plastic is an emergency and a common after-hours call.
Some homes near downtown built in the late 1960s and early 1970s used aluminum branch circuits, and a loose connection behind an outlet is a frequent cause of flickering and warm cover plates.
Across the newer parts of the valley the services are modern, and the calls are usually a car charger or second air conditioner tripping the main.
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

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.
