If you're dealing with a power outage in Markham, this quick check can help you figure out whether the issue is affecting the surrounding area or only your own electrical system.
Question 1
If the whole street or several nearby homes are dark, the problem may be a local utility outage rather than an electrical fault inside your home.
Question 2
A burning smell, sparking outlet, hot receptacle or water near electrical equipment can indicate an unsafe electrical condition.
Question 3
Common signs include a breaker that keeps tripping, a main breaker that has opened, a GFCI that will not reset, partial power loss or unusual buzzing from the electrical panel.
We’ll point you in the right direction. If there is a burning smell, sparks, storm damage or power loss only in your home, call an emergency electrician.
Likely area outage
Nearby homes and street lights are also without power.
Likely home issue
Only your property, panel or part of the house is affected.
If you're waiting for an emergency electrician near you, avoid touching damaged wiring or electrical equipment and keep everyone away from the affected area.
Keep people away from sparks, exposed wiring, hot outlets and damaged electrical equipment.
If the panel is dry and safe to approach, switch off the affected breaker. Never touch a wet or damaged panel.
If the breaker trips again or will not reset, stop trying and leave the circuit off.
If there is visible fire, heavy smoke or someone is injured, leave the area and call 911 first.
If you're looking for an emergency electrician near me in Markham, these are some of the electrical problems that should not be ignored or repeatedly reset.
