Signs You Need an Emergency Electrician in Bristol
Each year in the UK, about 70 people die and 350,000 are seriously injured in domestic electrical accidents. Electrical issues must never be ignored. Here are the top signs you need to call an emergency electrician in Bristol immediately:
1. Sudden Power Loss
Lights out, appliances dead? We’ll find and fix the fault quickly and safely.
2. Fuse Board Keeps Tripping
It’s not random. We’ll inspect what’s causing the overload or short circuit.
3. Burning Smell from Switches
If something smells like it’s burning (not your oven), call us now. It’s urgent.
4. Faulty Wiring
Frayed or loose wires are fire hazards. We identify and replace risky wiring.

Buzzing indicates a problem. We locate and fix the source safely.

What to Do in an Electrical Emergency
Stay calm, but don’t touch anything. If you smell burning, see sparks, or get shocked, do this:
✅ Turn off the main power: Go to your fuse box and switch off the main breaker.
✅ Stay away from faulty areas: Don’t handle sparking sockets or switches. Keep water away from electrical devices.
✅ Avoid using outlets or switches: Even if they look fine, don’t use them until they’re checked.
