Should you wait? Or should you call immediately? Here's how to tell:
When numerous homes lose power, the issue is a blown transformer or downed power lines. That's for the energy company to deal with, and there's not much we can do about it.
But when you're the only one without power, that's an indication something's gone wrong on your end. If you flip the breakers and validated that you paid your electrical bill this month, and you're still without power, give us a call. You've got an issue only a skilled electrician can fix.
Never an excellent sign. Disconnect whatever attached to that outlet. Flip the breaker to switch off power to the outlet and call us right away.

That might be a hard one to capture, due to many people don't engage with their service panels very much on a day-to-day basis. However if you do happen to discover heat emanating from your circuit box it's important to call us right now. Again, that's is a fire waiting to happen.
Think it or not, this one typically isn't a tough fix. It suggests a loose wire or a bad breaker. Often it's a sign of a far more serious problem. An expert needs to make that assessment.
Buzzing noises from the breaker box are another indication of a loose wire or a bad breaker that can cause a fire. To some people, that might sound more like a humming sound.
Regardless of how you perceive the sound, it is usually an indication of a breaker that's refusing to trip. When the circuit gets too hot, Breakers are expected to trip. Your circuitry is dealing with heat and power loads it was never indicated to deal with if the breaker is stopping working to do its job. Shut off all power and call us right now.
This implies one of three things: your electrical system is getting overloaded, you have got a short circuit, or you've got a ground fault. Numerous elements of your electrical system might have failed to produce those issues.
The very first is fairly safe, however it's a hint your system requires an upgrade. That is especially true in older homes, which aren't implied to run nearly as lots of electronic devices as we now count on every day. The 2nd 2 are incredibly unsafe, and need attention right now.
