What to do while we're on the way

If it's safe, switch off the affected breaker, or the main if you're not sure which circuit is involved. Don't keep resetting a breaker that trips. Unplug anything connected to a suspect outlet and keep people and pets away. Never step into standing water near electrical equipment. We'll walk you through the immediate steps on the phone.

What happens when we arrive

First we make it safe: isolate the faulty circuit and confirm nothing else is at risk. Then we test to find the cause and explain what we found. Most emergency faults in Miami homes are repaired on the same visit. Where a larger repair is needed, we restore power to everything that can safely be restored and explain the next step and timing.

Storm season in Miami

Summer thunderstorms and tropical systems bring surges, flooding and wind damage. After a major storm the calls come in waves. We handle them in order of risk and tell you honestly where you stand when you call.

Emergency questions

Is a burning smell always an emergency?

Treat it as one. It usually means a connection is overheating, which is a fire risk. Turn off the circuit if you can and call.

How do I know if the outage is my house or FPL?

If the neighbors have power and your main breaker is on but part or all of your house is out, the fault is likely on your side.

Should I keep resetting a breaker?

No. A breaker that trips again right away is protecting you from a fault. Leave it off and call.

How is emergency work priced?

Urgent work is priced on the job, and we explain the cost before starting any repair.
