Stop & Call Immediately

When to Call for Emergency Service

If you experience any of these warning signs, do not delay — turn off affected circuits at the panel if safe, and call us right away.

Burning Smell

A burning plastic smell from an outlet, switch, or panel signals overheating wiring or a failing component — fire risk is real.

Sparking or Arcing

Visible sparks from outlets, switches, or your panel mean a connection has failed. Shut off the breaker and call immediately.

Partial Power Loss

Half your home dark while the other half works often indicates a lost neutral or main feed problem — can damage every device on the energized side.

Storm Damage

After a storm: downed service wires, damaged meter base, water-soaked panel, or weather-head separation all require immediate professional repair.

Smoking or Hot Outlets

Outlets, switches, or panels that smoke or are hot to the touch are seconds from failure. Turn off the breaker and call.

Repeated Tripped Breakers

A breaker that keeps tripping is doing its job — protecting you from a real fault. Repeated trips need diagnosis, not a reset.

Before We Arrive

  1. 1
    Get to safety. If you see smoke, fire, or sparks — exit the building and call 911 first.
  2. 2
    Shut off the affected breaker if you can safely reach the panel. If the panel itself is the problem, leave it alone and call us.
  3. 3
    Stay clear of water near any electrical issue. If wiring is wet, do not touch anything until power is confirmed off.
  4. 4
    Call us at (218) 729-2953. Describe what you're seeing — we'll dispatch the right technician with the right equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions

Electrical Emergency FAQ

What counts as an electrical emergency?
Burning smells, smoke from outlets, sparking or arcing, total power loss, a panel that is hot to the touch, exposed wiring after a storm, or a tripped breaker that will not reset are all emergencies. If anyone in the home feels electric shock from a switch or outlet, call immediately and shut off the main breaker if you can do so safely.
How fast can Lotus Electric respond to a Duluth electrical emergency?
During business hours (Mon-Fri 7 AM-7 PM) we target same-day dispatch for active emergencies in Duluth, Hermantown, Cloquet, Two Harbors, Proctor, and Esko. After hours we triage by phone and dispatch when safety requires it.
What should I do before the electrician arrives?
If you smell burning, see smoke, or see sparking — leave the area and call 911 first. If safe, switch off the main breaker at your service panel, unplug nearby electronics, and keep family and pets away from the affected room until we arrive.
Do you charge extra for emergency calls?
Emergency dispatch is priced clearly up front. You will know the trip charge before we leave the shop, and any diagnostic or repair pricing is provided in writing before work begins.
