An odor of fire, sparks at an electrical outlet, repeated breaker trips, or even an outage is all it takes to turn a regular day into an electrical problem. And you don’t have to spend hours figuring things out alone.
Salter Electric offers emergency electrical services in Ottawa to homeowners facing electrical issues requiring immediate attention. Our emergency electricians can diagnose the problem, perform emergency electrical repairs and safety inspection each time we offer our services.
AElectrical problems don't always happen during convenient hours. When something unusual happens, the first step is understanding whether the issue requires immediate attention and what should be done about it.
The issue may be related to malfunctioning wires, sparks in the outlet, breaker overload, power failure, burnt smell, and other warning signs. With our emergency electrical services in Ottawa, we diagnose the issue and decide on the type of repair needed to fix it. You’re not required to identify the cause technically before calling us.
Not every overloaded breaker has the same meaning, and not every flickering light has the same source. Troubleshooting allows you to get down to the issue and define which electrical repairs should be made.
When there's a sudden loss of power or partial loss of power, it becomes difficult to know if there's an electrical issue within your premises or not. We can evaluate the electrical problem so we get to know how we can fix it.
Emergency electrical services are not just limited to solving your immediate electrical issues; safety issues need to be taken care of too. All our visits to your premises include an electrical safety inspection for all possible electrical issues.
If you notice something unusual with your home's electrical system, you don't need to diagnose the cause yourself.
Sparks, smoking or crackling around an electrical device such as an outlet or switch could mean there’s a problem with the electricity in your house that requires attention. Don’t touch the smoking or sparking item and stay clear of the area until you sort out the problem.
If you notice any strange burning smell or overheating at an outlet, you should contact us about your concerns. You can’t ignore it because the smell won’t go away by itself.
Tell us what you see, smell, hear or feel. We'll assess the electrical problem from there.
You don't need to become an electrician before calling one.
Describe what you're experiencing, a burning smell, sparking outlet, tripped breaker, flickering light or loss of power.
Our electrician assesses the electrical issue and determines what is causing the problem and what repair may be required.

There are some electrical problems that can’t be ignored since there may be possible signs of electrical fire hazard. If I am not sure about the situation, it’d be better to contact an electrician and tell him/her what is going on.
If the outlet starts sparking, stay away from it and call an electrician to help you with this problem.
It is important to pay attention to any electrical burning smells since it means something is wrong with the electricity. Also, stay away from the outlet, switches and wires.
