Customers Say It Best: Why We're the Best Emergency Electricians Louisville Has to Offer

"I have had opportunity to use Allen Electric twice. Their emergency, on call repair service was fantastic! Jordan quickly got back to me that day and was at my house in no time. My issue was resolved the same day. The customer service was so good that I called again when it was time to upgrade my 40 plus year old, out of code electrical panel. I once again received great customer service. They were very clear in all expectations and explained things in detail. I will use them for future services if needed!"

Types of Emergency Electrical Service We Provide

What constitutes an electrical emergency?

If you're unfamiliar with how your electrical system works, you may be uncertain of what issues are an emergency and which ones can wait to be resolved the next business day. Here's a quick overview of some of the most common emergency electrical problems we service and their urgency.

Electrical Fire

After contacting emergency services and immediately cutting off the power supply, we're your next call. Electrical fires are seriously dangerous and can spread quickly. Call your local authorities immediately, and if you're able to locate your power supply and cut that off, do so quickly. After the fire is out, our urgent electrical services will be dispatched to quickly assess the damage and begin repairs.





​

​

Burnt Outlets

Fire and electrical don't mix. If you see smoke, smell burning, or notice burnt or melted areas on your outlets, it's time to call for an emergency electrical repair. Not only could this indicate an increased risk of an electrical fire due to overheating or a short circuit, but the damage to the outlet could continue to deteriorate over time, increasing the risk of fire and damage even more. Call for emergency service right away and do not plug any items into the burnt outlet until it has been replaced.




​

​Flickering Lights

Flashing lights are for bars and clubs, not inside your home. Flickering lights could be due to several factors, and the severity of the flicker can clue you into the level of response you should take. For example, an infrequent dimming of the lights that happens in conjunction with your HVAC system firing up may mean you're on the verge of overloading your circuits. While this warrants exploration by an electrician to ensure you don't have difficulties down the road, it is likely not an emergency. If your flickering is constant or is burning out lightbulbs frequently, it could be a sign of a serious wiring or voltage issue that warrants an emergency electrical repair.

Noisy Circuit Breakers

Something isn't right. If you are hearing persistent buzzing or humming from your circuit breaker, it's an indication that it may be overloaded or damaged by a power surge. Gone unchecked, this could lead to the breaker failing to "trip" and shut off power when it needs to and can cause fires and damage to the entire system. This is a serious issue that should be looked at by an electrician so they can assess the damage and replace any broken parts to get it humming along (quietly) again.

Faulty Wiring

​Electrical shocks from faulty outlets or exposed wires are a serious risk to you and your family. This can happen in older homes, but new construction isn't immune from wiring damage either. Exposed wires and electrical shocks can be extremely harmful. If you're able, locate the breaker and turn off power to the area where the problem is occurring until an electrician can get onsite to inspect the damage.
