Electrical Emergency Birmingham
Emergencies can happen suddenly — whether it’s a smoking fuse board, live exposed wires, or power loss in half your home. Knowing what to do in those first few moments is crucial for your safety.
What to do in an Electrical Emergency
Here’s what you should do if an electrical emergency occurs:
- Switch Off the Power (If Safe): Use the main switch in your consumer unit to isolate power and prevent further risk. Only do this if there’s no immediate danger.
- Evacuate the Area: If there’s a strong smell of burning or visible smoke, leave the premises immediately and call 999.
- Do Not Attempt DIY Repairs: Electrical systems can be deadly if mishandled. Avoid touching exposed wires or damaged sockets.
- Call a Qualified Electrician: Our NAPIT-registered team will respond quickly, identify the root cause, and resolve the issue safely.
