What Counts as an Electrical Emergency?
Some electrical problems are too dangerous to ignore or put off until tomorrow. Call AB Electrical Services right away if you notice:
- Burning smells, smoke, or sparks from outlets, switches, or your electrical panel

- Signs of an electrical fire (call 911 first, then call us once safe)
Even if you’re not sure, it’s always better to have a licensed electrician inspect the problem before it escalates.

Electrical issues rarely happen at convenient times. That’s why AB Electrical Services offers after-hours and weekend emergency services across Orange County. Whether it’s a Friday night outage or a Saturday afternoon breaker failure, we prioritize same-day repairs so you don’t have to wait until Monday morning to feel safe again.
Safety Protocols Before the Electrician Arrives
While waiting for our team, there are steps you can take to protect your property. If it’s safe, shut off the breaker to the affected circuit or switch off the main panel. Keep children and pets away from the problem area, and never use water near smoking or sparking outlets. If you see flames or heavy smoke, call 911 first, then call AB Electrical once safe. Taking these precautions reduces risks and allows us to begin repairs immediately upon arrival.
