Burning odors, damaged outlets, repeated breaker trips, or sudden partial power loss deserve attention. Tell us what is happening and where you are so we can discuss the next step.
Recognize the warning signs
An electrical emergency is a problem that threatens safety or needs urgent attention to the property’s power supply. You do not need to diagnose the cause before calling. Describe the symptoms and avoid using affected equipment.
A burning odor, scorch marks, or a melted outlet can indicate overheating or damaged connections. Stop using the affected outlet or switch. Do not touch equipment to test whether it is hot. If you suspect fire, leave and call 911.
Burning outlet or switch guideA breaker that keeps tripping needs investigation. New buzzing, crackling, or visible damage at the panel is another reason to call. Leave the affected circuit off, avoid the panel if it appears unsafe, and never remove its cover.
Buzzing electrical panel guidePartial power loss can involve a circuit, panel, service connection, or utility supply. Tell us which rooms or systems stopped working and whether lights became unusually bright or dim. Do not test appliances or repeatedly reset breakers to find the cause.
Partial power loss guideSudden, persistent flickering across several rooms, exposed wiring, and storm-damaged electrical equipment need professional attention. Keep clear of wet electrical equipment and fallen wires. Report a downed wire to 911 or PSEG Long Island at 800-490-0075.

Keep a safe distance from the problem. Electrical equipment can remain dangerous even when some lights or outlets have stopped working.

Urgent electrical repairs
Haines Electric diagnoses electrical faults and carries out repairs to circuits, outlets, switches, panels, and related equipment. Our work starts with identifying the fault and explaining the repair options. A symptom alone does not mean you need a complete panel replacement.
From an outlet that smells burnt to rooms that suddenly lose power, we help Nassau County homeowners address urgent electrical problems. Tell us about any recent renovation, new appliance, or storm damage that may help explain what changed.
Electrical faults can interrupt lighting, equipment, and daily business operations. When calling about a commercial property, describe the affected equipment, access arrangements, and whether a property manager or building representative needs to be involved.
A wider outage may be on the utility system. Check with your electricity provider for outage information. If you also notice damage, burning, unusual panel noises, or a problem limited to your property, explain those symptoms when you call. An electrician cannot promise to restore a utility outage.

Answers before you call
Yes. Haines Electric provides 24/7 emergency electrical service for Nassau County homes and businesses, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Call (516) 432-4114 with your location and symptoms. For fire, electrical shock, or another life-threatening emergency, call 911 first.
Call for current availability and an expected arrival time for your address. Timing varies with your location and current emergency calls. Some repairs require additional parts or coordination with the utility, which we can discuss once the problem has been assessed.
The work needed depends on the fault, equipment, and repair scope. Ask about the service-call charge, any night or weekend charges, and how repair costs will be explained before authorizing work. A phone description alone may not establish the cause or final repair price.
No. If a breaker trips again, leave that circuit off and arrange an electrical inspection or repair. Repeated trips can involve an overload, faulty equipment, or a wiring problem. If you notice burning, smoke, or arcing, keep away from the panel and follow the emergency safety guidance above.
If nearby properties have also lost power, check with your utility for outage information. If only your property or part of it is affected, an electrician may need to investigate. Report fallen wires to 911 or PSEG Long Island at 800-490-0075; never approach them.
Yes. Haines Electric serves Nassau County commercial properties as well as homes. Tell us which equipment or areas are affected and who can provide access. Our team can discuss the electrical problem and the next steps for service.
