Emergency electrical help in Nashville
In an electrical emergency in Nashville, 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 37201.
Nashville has grown fast, but its electrical emergencies still follow its storms and its older houses. Tornadoes and violent thunderstorms cross the area from late winter through summer, ice storms come most winters, and flash floods along the Cumberland and the creeks are a real risk. East Nashville, Germantown, Sylvan Park and other close-in neighborhoods have early-1900s homes stretched by decades of remodeling.
What an electrician tends to find here
Flipped houses in East Nashville often look brand new inside while the service feeding them is decades old and already full.
In the Gulch and downtown towers, an outage in your unit may start in the building's own equipment, which management has to open up.
A meter base torn off the wall by a tornado or straight-line wind is dangerous even after NES has cut power to the street.
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 Nashville?
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.
Spring tornadoes and straight-line winds ripping masts off the roofline.
Flash floods along the Cumberland and its creeks reaching basements, crawlspaces and panels.
Ice storms bringing drops down across whole neighborhoods.
A summer strike frying the air conditioner's control board and a few breakers with it.
Fuse panels, small services and worn wiring failing as more gets plugged in.

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.

Can I get an electrician in Nashville at night or on a weekend?
Yes. Our line is answered 24 hours a day, every day. Tell us what's happening in Nashville and we'll get a licensed electrician out who takes after-hours calls.
How fast can an electrician get to 37201?
It depends on where you are in Nashville, the hour and how busy the night is, so you'll get an arrival window on the call rather than a promise here. If anything is sparking, smoking or wet, switch off that breaker and keep everyone clear until help arrives.
Does emergency work cost more?
Usually, yes. Nights, weekends and holidays carry a higher rate than a weekday visit. You'll know the price of the repair before it starts, and you only pay for work you agreed to.
Are the electricians licensed in Tennessee?
Yes, even on an emergency call. Electrical contractors in Tennessee are licensed statewide by the Board for Licensing Contractors, some cities and counties also license electricians, and the electrician who comes out carries what your area requires.
