Is your electrical problem an emergency?
Half the house has no power and the breakers look fine
Emergency. Partial power loss with no tripped breaker usually means a failed main lug, a burned neutral, or a bad service connection, and all three get worse with load on them. Turn off large appliances and call. Do not keep resetting anything.
You smell burning plastic, or there are brown marks around an outlet
Emergency. A burning smell or scorch marks mean a connection is already hot enough to melt insulation, which is the stage right before a fire. Shut off that circuit at the breaker if you can reach it safely, then call.
The panel or an outlet cover is hot to the touch
Emergency. Electrical equipment should never be warm. Heat at the panel face or a device cover means a loose or overloaded connection behind it. Stop using that circuit and call.
The main breaker tripped and it will not reset
Emergency. A main that refuses to reset is either a failed breaker or a live fault downstream of it, and both need a meter to tell apart. Leave it off and call rather than forcing the handle.
A service line is down on your property after a storm or a tree fall
Call 911 and SDG&E at 1-800-411-7343 first, then call us. SDG&E owns the line up to the weatherhead and has to de-energize it before any electrician can touch the service. Stay well clear of a downed conductor and assume it is live.
One breaker keeps tripping but nothing is hot or burning
Usually not an emergency. A single branch breaker tripping on load is a next-day diagnostic in most cases. Leave it off, unplug what was running on it, and book a normal appointment. If it trips with everything unplugged, treat it as urgent.
