Emergency electrical help in Phoenix
In an electrical emergency in Phoenix, 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 85001.
Heat drives most electrical emergencies in Phoenix. From May to September air conditioning runs day and night, and the panels and disconnects feeding it are usually mounted outside in direct sun, where the inside of the box runs well past the equipment's rating. The monsoon adds lightning, dust storms and sudden downpours from July into September, and some homes from the late 1960s and early 1970s have aluminum branch wiring.
What an electrician tends to find here
A sun-warmed panel door in July is normal here; a panel that smells like hot plastic or shows brown marks around a breaker is not, so call.
If your Phoenix house dates to the late 1960s or early 1970s, aluminum branch wiring is possible, and a light that flickers or a switch plate that feels warm is worth having looked at.
Winter residents coming back in October and November to houses shut all summer often find dead equipment, and those calls overlap with the last of the monsoon damage.
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 Phoenix?
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.
Outdoor panels and air conditioning disconnects with melted breakers, darkened bus bars and scorched terminals.
A cooling breaker that lets go at 4 p.m. every day in a 115-degree week.
Monsoon wind and lightning damaging rooftop units and masts, and haboobs packing grit into outdoor boxes.
Aluminum branch wiring loose and hot behind outlets and switches.
Flash floods through washes and low streets reaching garages, utility rooms and outdoor equipment.

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.

How fast can an electrician get to 85001?

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.

Yes, even on an emergency call. Electrical contractors in Arizona are licensed by the Arizona Registrar of Contractors, and a licensed electrician is who we'll get out to look at your panel.
