Electrical Emergencies in Florida Are Not Something You Sit On
Clearwater sits in the lightning capital of the United States. Between May and September, afternoon thunderstorms roll through Pinellas County almost daily, each one carrying thousands of cloud-to-ground strikes that can enter your home through the service line, cable connection, or even the plumbing. A single nearby strike can blow a breaker panel, melt outlet wiring behind a wall, or damage sensitive electronics throughout the house — and the damage isn't always obvious right away.
Then there's hurricane season. Even a Category 1 storm can down power lines onto roofs, snap utility poles, and drive rainwater into outdoor electrical panels. Tropical Storm Eta, Hurricane Irma, Hurricane Ian — Clearwater has taken direct and near-direct hits within the last decade. Each one left homeowners dealing with exposed wiring, damaged service entrances, and panels full of water.
The worst electrical emergencies happen when a problem that existed before the storm meets the storm itself. A loose connection in a panel becomes an arcing fault when the wind shakes the house. Corroded wiring in an outdoor junction box becomes a live wire in a flooded yard. These are the calls we handle at 2 AM, and they're the reason we keep a licensed electrician on dispatch around the clock.

Coming SoonIf You're Facing an Electrical Emergency
Get Safe First
If you see sparks, smell burning, or notice smoke — leave the area. Don't touch anything electrical that looks damaged, feels warm, or sounds like it's buzzing or crackling. If there's active fire or smoke, call 911 first.
Shut Off the Breaker If You Can
If you can safely reach your electrical panel and the situation doesn't involve water or fire, flip the main breaker to the OFF position. This cuts power to the entire house and reduces the risk of the problem getting worse while you wait for help.

Call (727) 558-4636Emergency Electrical Questions for Clearwater Residents
Our target is on-site within 60 minutes for emergencies across Clearwater and most of Pinellas County. Response times depend on time of day and current call volume, but we dispatch directly from Clearwater — there's no routing through a distant call center. Call (727) 558-4636 and we'll give you an honest ETA immediately.
We're upfront about pricing regardless of the hour. You'll get a clear number before any work starts — whether it's 2 PM or 2 AM. There's no hidden after-hours multiplier. The emergency diagnostic fee covers the trip and the assessment; if you approve the repair, we apply that fee toward the total cost.
Anything that poses an immediate safety risk or leaves you without power: sparking outlets, burning smells near electrical panels or walls, a breaker that trips and won't reset, exposed wiring from storm damage, a complete power outage isolated to your property, and any situation involving water contact with electrical systems. If you're unsure, call us — we'd rather assess it and find nothing than have you wait on a real hazard.
First, check your main breaker — it may have tripped. If it's in the ON position or trips again immediately after you reset it, the issue is in your home's wiring or panel and you need an electrician. Don't repeatedly reset a breaker that keeps tripping — that indicates a fault, and forcing it can cause damage or a fire. Call (727) 558-4636 and we'll walk you through safe next steps over the phone.
Yes. Lightning strikes are one of the most common emergency calls we handle in Clearwater. Damage ranges from a single blown outlet or tripped GFCI to a completely fried panel that needs full replacement. We assess the entire system after a strike — not just the obvious damage — because surge-related failures sometimes show up days later in circuits that initially seemed fine.
Don't touch anything. Turn off the breaker for that area if you can safely reach the panel, and move everyone away from the source. If you see smoke or flames, call 911 first. Once the immediate danger is handled, call us at (727) 558-4636 — we'll dispatch an electrician to find and fix the source. A burning smell near electrical equipment almost always means an overheated connection, melted insulation, or an arcing fault, all of which need immediate professional attention.
