Burning smell electrical repair in Metuchen
An emergency call starts with making the building safe. We find the faulted circuit, isolate it and check that nothing is overheating inside the wall or the panel. Then we repair what can be fixed on the spot, such as a burnt receptacle, a failed breaker, a loose neutral or a damaged service cable, and tell you plainly if anything needs a return visit. If you see flames or smoke, get out and call 911 first, then call us.

Emergency electrician in Metuchen: common questions
How fast can an emergency electrician get to me in Metuchen?
We send the nearest available crew as soon as you call (888) 633-7804. Arrival depends on traffic and where that crew is, and we give you an honest estimate on the phone.
Is a breaker that keeps tripping an emergency?
If it trips again right after you reset it, or the breaker or panel feels warm, yes. Leave it off and call. A breaker that trips once when too many things are running is usually just an overloaded circuit.
What should I do while I wait for the electrician?
Switch off the breaker for the affected circuit if you can reach the panel safely, unplug what is on it, and keep people away from anything hot, wet or sparking. Do not reset a breaker over and over.
Do you cover all of Metuchen?
Yes. We work throughout Metuchen and Middlesex County, including ZIP code 08840.
