Electricity is an essential part of our daily lives, but it can also be dangerous if not handled properly. Electrical emergencies can occur at any time, and knowing how to respond can prevent serious injury, property damage, or even fatalities. In this guide, we will outline steps to take during common electrical emergencies and highlight the importance of professional assistance from Core-Power Engineers, a trusted installer and maintenance provider.
A power outage can be caused by storms, overloaded circuits, or faults in the electrical grid. Here’s what to do:
Check if the outage is affecting just your home or the entire neighborhood.
Turn off all major appliances to prevent damage from a power surge when electricity is restored.
Use a flashlight instead of candles to avoid fire hazards.
If the outage is prolonged, contact your utility provider or Core-Power Engineers for assistance.
An electrical fire can result from overloaded circuits, faulty wiring, or malfunctioning appliances.
DO NOT use water to extinguish an electrical fire, as water conducts electricity.
If safe to do so, unplug the device or turn off the main power supply.
Use a Class C fire extinguisher to put out the flames.
Evacuate the premises and call emergency services if the fire spreads.
Contact Core-Power Engineers to inspect and repair electrical damage.
Electric shocks can occur due to exposed wires, faulty appliances, or water contact with electrical outlets.
DO NOT touch the person directly if they are still in contact with the source.
Turn off the power supply immediately.
Call emergency services if the person is unconscious or experiencing severe burns.
Seek medical attention and have Core-Power Engineers inspect the electrical system to prevent future incidents.
Sparks from outlets or appliances may indicate an electrical fault or short circuit.
Unplug the device if possible and turn off the circuit breaker.
Avoid using the outlet until it has been inspected.
Contact Core-Power Engineers to assess and fix any faulty wiring or appliances.
Plugging too many devices into an outlet can overload circuits, causing breakers to trip or even start a fire.
Unplug non-essential devices to reduce the load.
Reset the breaker, but if it trips repeatedly, do not attempt further resets.
Call Core-Power Engineers to inspect and upgrade your electrical system if necessary.
