Emergency electrician in Kentucky, one call away
Sparking outlet, burning smell or power out in part of the house? Call our 24/7 line and we connect you with a licensed electrician who works in your area.
Is this an electrical emergency?
An electrical emergency is any problem that can start a fire, shock someone or leave a home without safe power. These signs mean you should call an electrician tonight, not next week.
If you see flames or smoke, leave the house and call 911 first. If a power line is down outside, stay 35 feet away and call your utility.
- Burning or hot plastic smell from an outlet, switch or the panel
- Sparks, scorch marks or a warm outlet cover

Common questions
Are you the electrician who comes out?
No. Emergency Electrician Kentucky is a call and referral service. We connect you with an independent licensed electrician who serves your city. That electrician does the work and gives you the price.
Is the call free?
Yes. There is no charge to call or to be connected. You pay the electrician only for work you agree to.
How fast can an electrician get to me?
It depends on your city, the time of day and the weather. The electrician tells you the arrival window on the phone before you commit.
What should I do while I wait?
Switch off the affected circuit at the panel if you can do it with dry hands and dry feet. Unplug devices on that circuit. Do not touch a panel that is wet, hot or sparking.
How much does an emergency visit cost?
After-hours visits usually cost more than daytime service because of the trip fee. Our Kentucky cost guide lists typical ranges by job type.
