Response time depends on severity and current call volume, but true emergencies, burning smell, sparking, total power loss, get priority dispatch and we aim to be on site within an hour or two under normal conditions. During major storms, when call volume spikes across the whole region, response times can run longer, and we're upfront about that on the phone.
What should I do if I smell burning near an outlet or panel?
Shut off power to that circuit or the main breaker if you're not sure which one, don't touch the outlet or panel itself, and call us immediately. A burning smell almost always means active arcing or overheating, which is a fire risk that gets worse the longer it continues. This is one of the clearest true-emergency signals in residential electrical work.
