Emergency Electrician FAQ's

As a leading, quick responsive emergency electrician company in Leicester, we are often asked a lot of questions. Below, we have listed some of the most common questions we are asked.

What counts as an electrical emergency?

An electrical emergency can include a sudden loss of power, repeated tripping at the consumer unit, sparking sockets or switches, burning smells, exposed wiring or signs of overheating.

Electrical points affected by water, fire or physical damage should also be treated seriously. If you are unsure whether a fault is dangerous, contacting an emergency electrician in Leicester can help determine the safest course of action.

You should only reset a tripping circuit breaker if there are no obvious signs of danger, such as burning smells, sparks, exposed wiring or water near electrical fittings. If the breaker trips again shortly afterwards, avoid repeatedly resetting it, as this may indicate an underlying electrical fault. A Leicester emergency electrician can carry out fault finding to identify why the circuit keeps tripping and recommend the appropriate repair.
