Not every electrical problem is an emergency, but some situations can't wait for a scheduled appointment. Burning smells, repeated breaker trips, water near electrical equipment, visible arcing, or unexpected power loss affecting safety or operations are all reasons to call right away. JSR Beresford Electric serves Kelowna, West Kelowna, and the Central Okanagan for urgent electrical issues at homes, strata buildings, commercial properties, and industrial facilities.

What counts as an electrical emergency?

An electrical emergency is any situation where waiting could create a safety risk, damage equipment, interrupt business operations, or leave a property without essential power. Common reasons to call include a burning smell near a panel, outlet, switch, or fixture; a breaker that trips again immediately after reset; partial power loss affecting essential areas; visible arcing, sparking, heat, or smoke; and storm, water, or impact damage involving electrical systems.

If you are unsure whether the situation is urgent, call and describe what is happening before touching panels, breakers, or damaged equipment.

Before the electrician arrives

Call first and describe the situation — the location, building type, and what you are seeing or smelling. Send photos if it is safe to do so, especially of the panel, affected area, or damaged equipment. Do not keep resetting a breaker that trips repeatedly, and do not touch equipment that shows heat, damage, or water exposure. JSR will confirm whether a site visit is the right next step and what to do in the meantime.

Service FAQs

What should I do before calling an emergency electrician?

Call from a safe location and describe what happened, what changed, and whether there is smell, heat, smoke, water, sparks, or power loss. Do not touch damaged equipment or keep resetting a tripped breaker. Photos of the panel or affected area can help if they can be taken safely.

Can an emergency electrician fix the problem on the first visit?

Sometimes. Urgent electrical work often starts with making the situation safer and identifying the fault. Parts, permit requirements, utility involvement, or follow-up repairs may affect what can be completed on the first visit.

When should I call right away?

Call right away when something smells hot or electrical, a breaker trips again after one reset, lights flicker with appliance or equipment use, a panel or outlet feels warm, water has reached electrical equipment, or a property has lost power in a way that affects safety, access, refrigeration, pumps, or essential systems.
