Emergency Electrical Troubleshooting questions, answered.
What should I do if I smell burning plastic from my electrical panel?+
Immediately turn off the main breaker if it is safe to approach, evacuate the area if you see active smoke or flames, call 911, and contact our emergency dispatch at (480) 806-1832. Do not attempt to touch or remove the panel cover.
Why is half of my house without power while the other half works?+
Homes in the US receive two 120-volt 'legs' of electricity from the utility. If one leg is lost — due to a blown utility transformer fuse, a severed underground feeder, or a burned main breaker stab — only half your 120V circuits and none of your 240V appliances (AC, dryer, oven) will operate.
Is a buzzing circuit breaker considered an emergency?+
Yes. A loud buzzing or vibrating breaker often indicates an internal mechanical failure, severe arcing, or continuous overcurrent that hasn't tripped the thermal trip mechanism. This requires urgent professional evaluation.
