What is an electrical emergency?

These risks include fire, electrical shock or injuries due to electrical failure. Faults that pose threats like these require urgent attention by professional electricians.
What causes an electrical emergency?
An electrical emergency can be caused by several possible factors. Electrical equipment failure such as outdated or faulty wiring is a leading cause of electrical emergencies, often resulting in sizzling or buzzing sounds or a burning odours. Natural causes, like a storm or flood, can also result in an electrical emergency, knocking out powerlines and posing a risk of exposed electrical wiring. Human error, in the form of poor electrical work, is rarer but it can also be the cause of an electrical emergency.
