Unexpected electrical issues can throw your entire home into disarray and pose serious safety risks. Flickering lights, sparking outlets, or sudden power loss aren’t just inconvenient—they could indicate a dangerous problem. That’s why R.S. Andrews offers around-the-clock emergency electrical services throughout Atlanta and the surrounding areas.

Our licensed electricians respond quickly, fully equipped to handle urgent repairs and restore safety to your home. No matter the hour, you can count on our team to deliver fast, dependable service when you need it most.

What Counts as an Electrical Emergency?

Not every electrical issue can wait until morning. Some problems require immediate professional attention to protect your home and loved ones. If you’re unsure whether your situation is urgent, here are signs it’s time to call R.S. Andrews right away:

  • Burning smells or smoke: If you detect a burning odor near outlets or your panel, shut off power and call us immediately. This can signal overheating wires or impending fire risk.

  • Sparking outlets or appliances: Frequent sparking when plugging in devices may mean damaged circuits or unsafe wiring conditions. These issues need urgent repair to prevent electrical shock or fire.

  • Power outages isolated to your home: If your neighbors still have power, your electrical system may be compromised. We’ll diagnose the issue and restore safe, reliable electricity.

  • Tripping breakers that won’t reset: A persistent breaker trip could mean there’s a short circuit or overloaded line that needs immediate attention to avoid further damage.

  • Buzzing sounds from your panel or outlets: Strange noises can indicate loose wiring or internal component failure. These situations should never be ignored.

  • Water-damaged electrical components: After flooding or major leaks, your electrical system must be inspected to ensure it’s safe to operate.

Schedule today! We’re ready to deliver expert service and a smile to your door.

Our Emergency Electrical Services

Electrical problems can strike at any time, and fast action is critical to protect your home and your family. At R.S. Andrews, we offer a full range of emergency services to tackle everything from sudden outages to dangerous electrical faults. Our licensed electricians arrive fully equipped to assess and resolve the situation safely and efficiently.

Power Outage Diagnostics

If your home loses power unexpectedly, we’ll inspect your electrical system to determine the cause. We check for issues like blown circuits, damaged panels, or utility disruptions. Once diagnosed, we’ll get to work restoring safe and steady power to your home.

Electrical Panel Failures

A failing panel can pose serious safety hazards. Our team will examine your service panel for signs of overload, burn marks, or loose connections. If repair isn’t possible, we’ll provide options for a safe replacement.

Burning Smells or Scorch Marks

If you detect burning odors near outlets or appliances, shut off power and call us immediately. We’ll locate the source, which could be faulty wiring, overloaded circuits, or damaged fixtures. Prompt repairs can prevent serious fire hazards.

Flickering or Sparking Fixtures

Lights that flicker or outlets that spark can signal deeper problems in your wiring or connections. We’ll pinpoint the issue and eliminate the risk with safe, permanent repairs. Our goal is to restore stability and eliminate any electrical dangers.

Tripped Breakers That Won’t Reset

If your breaker trips and won’t stay on, it’s more than just an inconvenience. Our electricians will identify the cause—such as circuit overload, a short, or equipment malfunction—and correct it quickly. We’ll also advise on any long-term fixes that may prevent future disruptions.

11/13/2025 : Jonathan who usually provides furnace /air conditioner maintenance for my home helped me with a back-up emergency today. Even though it was his day off Jonathan made arrangements for an R. S. Andrews Plumber to come to my home and help with this situation. Jonathan's professionalism, thoughtfulness and willingness to assist me today made a difficult situation much better. I am very thankful that he took my call today. Also, today Brennan Pilson of R. S. Andrews handled the back-up problem at my home. Brennan carefully diagnosed the situation and thoroughly explained the problem including showing me photos. He explained what is needed to correct this. He gave me suggestions to help prevent another occurrence and offered to answer questions I or a family member might have. I appreciate the thorough, professional way that Brennan worked with me today.

A unique bathroom sink faucet had a small leak requiring a special part. I had bought it as part of a bathroom renovation 20 years ago and didn't know the name or the manufacturer. Before James could do the repair, he had to search the internet to find the name of the faucet and then locate the part. He did both and was able to do the repair, leaving everything in pristine condition.
