What Counts as an Electrical Emergency?
If any of these are happening, call (313) 523-2333 immediately. Don't wait for normal business hours. Some of these are fire risks; some are safety risks. All of them need a licensed electrician now.
Burning Smell
Smoke or burning smell from outlets, switches, or the electrical panel. Turn off power at the main breaker and call immediately.
Sparking Outlets
Outlets, switches, or the panel sparking. Even small sparks can indicate dangerous arcing inside the wall.
Full Power Loss
Whole-home or business power loss while neighbors still have power. Indicates a service-side or panel issue.
Exposed Wiring
Live wires exposed after storm damage, vehicle impact, water leak, or renovation accident. Don't approach.
Water Near Electrical
Flooding, roof leaks, or plumbing failures contacting outlets, panels, fixtures, or wiring.
Repeated Breaker Trips
A breaker that trips immediately every time it's reset. Indicates a short circuit that needs to be diagnosed before reuse.
Hot Outlets or Switches
Outlets, switches, or wall plates that feel hot to the touch. Sign of internal arcing or overload.
Storm Damage
Power surges, lightning strikes, downed lines on your property, or service mast damage from wind or trees.

Emergency Service Questions
Is the emergency line really answered 24/7?
Yes. (313) 523-2333 is answered around the clock, 365 days a year. Nights, weekends, and holidays. You'll speak to someone on our team, not an answering service.
How much does an emergency call cost?
Emergency calls carry an after-hours service rate that varies by time of day, day of week, and the nature of the work. You'll know the rate before we dispatch. No surprise charges. Insurance often covers electrical emergencies caused by storms, fires, or accidents.
What should I do before the electrician arrives?
If there's a burning smell, smoke, sparks, or hot outlets, turn off power at the main breaker and keep people away from the area. If water is involved, do not touch any electrical components. We'll guide you through any other immediate steps on the call.
Do you handle commercial emergencies too?
Yes. IB Electric handles commercial and industrial emergency electrical service in addition to residential. Restaurants, retail, offices, warehouses, and industrial facilities. We work directly with property managers and facility teams.
Can you fix everything on the same call?
Often yes. Our trucks are stocked with common parts and we carry breakers, outlets, switches, and wire for most repairs. If a full repair requires permits or specialized parts, we'll stabilize the situation safely and return the next business day to complete the work.
Will my insurance cover emergency electrical work?
It depends on the cause. Storm damage, lightning strikes, fire, water damage, and accidents are often covered by homeowner's or business insurance. Routine electrical failures usually are not. We provide itemized invoices and any documentation needed for your claim.
Don't Wait. Call Now.
Electrical emergencies don't follow business hours. Neither do we. IB Electric's emergency line is always live, always answered, always dispatched fast.
