Electrical emergencies don’t wait for business hours — and neither do we. Uniform Lighting & Power provides 24/7 emergency electrical response throughout Sacramento and the surrounding area. When you smell burning, lose power to part of your home, or see sparks, call us immediately.
Not every electrical issue is an emergency — but some are. Here’s what warrants an immediate call versus what can wait for a scheduled appointment.
Call 911 first if there is any fire or immediate danger to life. Then call us. Examples: sparks from outlets or panel, burning smell from walls or electrical box, power lines down near your home, complete power loss combined with tripped breakers that won’t reset.
These need attention today but are not life-threatening: partial power loss to key areas of your home (kitchen, HVAC, refrigerator), outlets that have stopped working entirely, flickering that started suddenly and won’t stop, circuit breakers that keep tripping repeatedly.
These are important but can wait a few days: outlets that feel warm but work fine, lights that dim when appliances start, older panels showing no current signs of trouble, adding new circuits for upcoming appliances.
We respond to electrical emergencies at residential and light commercial properties throughout the Sacramento area.
Unexpected power loss, tripped breakers that won’t reset, burning smells, or sparks — we respond fast to protect your home and family.

If it is safe to do so: turn off the main breaker to isolate the problem, unplug appliances near the issue, and move away from any area with a burning smell or visible damage. Do not attempt any electrical repairs yourself.
Emergency and after-hours calls may carry an additional service fee. We will be transparent about pricing before we begin any work so there are no surprises.
In most cases, yes. Our licensed electricians carry common parts and materials and can resolve the majority of electrical emergencies in a single visit. If the repair requires a permit or additional materials, we will discuss next steps with you before proceeding.
