What to do while you wait

If it's safe, switch off the affected breaker, or the main if you're not sure which circuit is involved. Don't keep resetting a breaker that trips. Unplug anything connected to a suspect outlet and keep people and pets away. Stay out of standing water near electrical equipment. We'll guide you on the phone.

When we arrive

We make the situation safe first by isolating the faulty circuit and checking nothing else is at risk. Then we find the cause and explain it. Many emergency faults in Columbus homes are repaired on the same visit. If a larger repair is needed, we restore power to everything that can safely be restored and explain the next step.

Storms across Central Ohio

Spring and summer thunderstorms bring their own electrical calls across Columbus: surge-damaged equipment, service drops pulled loose by limbs and water in basements. We work through storm calls in order of risk and tell you plainly where yours stands.

Emergency questions

Is a burning smell always an emergency?

Treat it as one. It usually means a connection is overheating. Switch off the circuit if you can and call.

How do I know if the outage is AEP Ohio or my house?

If neighbors have power and your main is on but part or all of your house is out, the fault is likely on your side.

Should I keep resetting a breaker?

No. A breaker that trips again right away is protecting you from a fault. Leave it off and call.

How is emergency work priced?

Urgent work is priced on the job, and we explain the cost before starting any repair.
