Emergency Electricians in Bristol and Bath – What to Do When You Have an Electrical Fault
Electricity is something we often take for granted—until something goes wrong. A sudden power outage, flickering lights, or a sparking socket can be more than just an inconvenience; it can be a serious safety hazard. At Brunel Electrical, we provide reliable emergency electrician services in Bristol, Bath, and the surrounding areas, ensuring your home or business is safe and powered up when needed.
Common Electrical Emergencies
Electrical faults can happen at any time, but some issues require urgent attention to prevent further damage or danger. Here are some common electrical emergencies to watch out for:
- Power Outages – If your home or business loses power unexpectedly and it’s not a local grid issue, it could be a fault with your wiring or consumer unit.
- Sparking or Burning Smell – If you notice sparks from a socket or a burning smell, switch off the power immediately and call us.
- Flickering Lights – This could indicate faulty wiring or an overloaded circuit, which needs to be addressed promptly.
- Tripped Circuit Breakers – Frequent tripping can signal a problem with your electrical system, potentially preventing a more serious issue like an electrical fire.
- Electric Shocks – If you experience even a mild shock when plugging in appliances, stop using the socket and contact us immediately for professional help.
What to Do in an Electrical Emergency
If you suspect an electrical fault, follow these steps to stay safe while waiting for a qualified electrician:
- Turn Off the Power – If it’s safe to do so, switch off the affected circuit at the consumer unit (fuse box) to prevent further risks.
- Avoid Water Contact – If the fault involves water (such as a flooded socket), stay away and do not attempt any repairs yourself.
- Do Not Use Faulty Appliances – If an appliance is causing the issue, unplug it and avoid using it until an electrician inspects it.
- Call a Professional – Contact Brunel Electrical immediately for fast, expert assistance. We provide a swift response to get your electrics back in working order safely.
