Same-day emergency electrician across every city in Salt Lake County, Utah. Free in-home estimates, transparent pricing, 500+ five-star reviews.
Some electrical problems in Salt Lake County can wait for a normal appointment. A burning smell from an outlet or the panel is not one of them — overheated wiring chars insulation long before anything visibly sparks, and it's the leading cause of residential electrical fires. If you smell hot plastic, hear buzzing from the panel, or see a scorched outlet: flip the main breaker off and call (801) 407-9320. We run priority dispatch on genuine electrical hazards anywhere in Salt Lake County. Flat diagnostic fee, waived when you approve the repair.

Emergency Electrician FAQs · Salt Lake County
What counts as an electrical emergency in Salt Lake County?
Burning or hot-plastic smell anywhere, visible sparking or arcing, a breaker panel that's buzzing or warm to the touch, a scorched or melted outlet, partial power with lights dimming and surging (often a failing neutral — genuinely dangerous), or storm damage to your service mast. Those get priority dispatch. One dead outlet or a tripping breaker on a known circuit books standard.
Half my house lost power — is that an emergency?
Treat it like one until diagnosed. Half-power with some lights bright and others dim usually means a lost neutral or a failing leg at the meter or panel — that can fry electronics and start fires. Shut off sensitive equipment and call. If the whole neighborhood is dark, that's Rocky Mountain Power (888-221-7070); if it's just your Salt Lake County house, it's us.
What does emergency electrical repair cost in Salt Lake County?
The diagnostic is a flat fee, waived when you approve the repair. Typical emergency repairs run $150–$1,500: a failed breaker replacement on the low end, meter-base or panel-lug damage on the higher end. Fixed written price before work starts. If the panel itself is the hazard, we'll quote a replacement separately with no obligation.
My breaker keeps tripping — can I just replace it with a bigger one?
Please don't — that's how fires start. A breaker trips because the wire it protects is overloaded; a bigger breaker just lets the wire overheat. The real fix is finding the overload or fault. We diagnose the actual cause and fix that.
Do you work on older panels — fuse boxes, Zinsco, Federal Pacific?
Yes, and we're straight with you about them: FPE Stab-Lok and Zinsco breakers have documented failure-to-trip problems, so on those panels we stabilize the emergency, then recommend replacement rather than sinking money into parts that can't be trusted. Fuse boxes we service, but most Salt Lake County insurance carriers are now flagging them at renewal.
