Electrical problems are no strangers in our homes. At some point, we’ve all dealt with flickering lights, burnt-out bulbs, tripped breakers, power outages, and faulty switches.
At Electricians Rive-Sud, we understand the inconvenience, danger, and loss of productivity caused by an electrical emergency.

Some electrical issues can wait a few days, while others must be handled immediately. From a strange buzzing sound to a sudden power outage, there are many reasons to contact an emergency electrician.
One of the obvious signs of potential danger to watch out for is electrical failure. That constant humming or buzzing sound you hear isn’t just annoying—it may indicate a dangerous electrical issue that needs immediate attention.
Another electrical problem requiring immediate technician intervention occurs when a water pipe bursts or your basement floods.
Of course, calling an electrician may not be your first thought, but water can permanently damage your electrical system. If you enter the room to clean, you could suffer a severe and potentially fatal shock. An emergency electrician will shut off all power and ensure you can safely enter your home and clean without risking your life.
Power outages usually occur due to a storm or an issue with a local transformer. Sometimes, a neighbor may have overloaded their electrical system, causing an outage across the neighborhood.
A buzzing or vibrating electrical panel is a bad sign. If your panel isn’t working properly, certain circuits may start burning, which causes those buzzing sounds.
When too many devices or lamps draw power from the same circuit, they can overload the fuse’s capacity, causing the metal inside to melt.
Whenever any part of your electrical system gives off a burning smell, it’s far beyond a simple home fix. The safest solution is to call an emergency electrician.
Brown marks around your outlets may indicate an overload and an imminent fire hazard. Avoid touching or plugging anything into them.
Flickering or blinking lights are often caused by a loose plug, an unsuitable dimmer, or a faulty light fixture. If the problem persists, call your electrician as a precaution.
When too many devices are plugged in, or when appliances requiring more amperage than the circuit can handle are used, the outlet may overheat and cause damage.
Ceiling lights can overheat if the bulbs used have wattage that’s too high. This can even cause burns on your ceiling, so always check wattage before installing a bulb.
A leaking roof or a flooded basement can put your life at risk if water comes into contact with electrical wiring or appliances. In such cases, don’t hesitate to call an emergency electrician.
When a breaker trips, it means the circuit detected an anomaly and shut off automatically to prevent wiring from overheating and a potential fire.
When electrical wire insulation begins to deteriorate, the wires become more vulnerable to electrical arcs, which can cause explosions and result in serious injuries or even death.
