Emergency electrical help in Nevada
If something electrical in your Nevada home is sparking, smoking or smells hot, get everyone away from it. If there is smoke or flame, get out and call the fire department first. If you can reach the panel safely, switch off that breaker or the main, and stay clear of anything wet. Then call Hire Local Electrician, any hour.
In southern Nevada the heat drives the calls, and in the north it's the cold. Las Vegas and Henderson run air conditioning around the clock from May to September, with panels and disconnects bolted to outside walls in full desert sun. In late summer, monsoon storms add lightning and flash floods. Reno and the north get real winters, older housing and wind that takes lines down.
June through September is the peak in the south, when heat and monsoon storms overlap. The north adds a winter peak from December through February.
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 Nevada?
Mostly the weather, the age of the housing and the grid, and the season decides which one you're likely to run into.
Outdoor panels and air conditioning disconnects in the Las Vegas valley with melted breakers and burned terminals.
Cooling breakers that won't stay on through a Henderson or Las Vegas heat wave.
Monsoon lightning and flash flooding damaging outdoor equipment and flooding garages and utility rooms.
Small services and aluminum branch wiring in older Reno, Sparks and central Las Vegas homes.
Wind and winter storms knocking down service drops in the north.

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 an electrician come out at night or on a weekend in Nevada?
Yes. Our line is answered 24 hours a day, every day. Tell us what's happening and where, and we'll get a licensed electrician out who takes after-hours calls in Nevada.
How fast can an electrician get to me?
It depends on where you are, 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.
Who licenses electricians in Nevada?
Electrical contractors in Nevada are licensed statewide by the State Contractors Board, so tell us what the panel or the air conditioning is doing and we'll get a licensed electrician out.
Does emergency work cost more?
Usually, yes. Nights, weekends and holidays carry a higher rate than a weekday visit. You'll know the price before the repair starts, and you only pay for work you agreed to.
Do emergency repairs need a permit?
Making a hazard safe, such as isolating a damaged circuit, doesn't wait for paperwork. Permanent repairs that follow, such as a new panel or a rewired section, usually need a permit and an inspection under local rules in Nevada, and the permit is normally pulled as part of the job.
