Emergency Electrical Services in Huntsville

When the power goes out or you smell something burning from an outlet, you don’t have time to wait around. That’s when you call Blake Brothers Heating, Cooling, Electrical & Plumbing. We’ve been working in homes across Huntsville and North Alabama since 1884, and after that long, there’s not much we haven’t seen.

Our electricians live here, too. We know how sudden a cold front or thunderstorm can knock out power in the Tennessee Valley. When that happens, you need someone who can show up fast, find the problem, and fix it safely. That’s exactly what we do.

When Electrical Problems Can’t Wait

In North Alabama, the weather is a big part of the story. A summer storm can roll through, lightning hits nearby, and suddenly half your house goes dark. Or maybe a breaker keeps tripping every time the heat kicks on. These are signs your electrical system is under stress.

If you ever notice things like these, it’s time to pick up the phone:

• A burning or plastic smell near outlets
• Sparks when you plug something in
• Lights flickering after heavy rain
• Breakers that keep tripping again and again
• Partial power loss in part of the house
• Wet wiring after a storm or flood

Those aren’t little problems. They’re warnings that something’s overheating or overloaded. Calling an emergency electrician right away can keep it from turning into a fire or bigger repair.

Common Electrical Emergencies Around Huntsville Homes

Every home’s wiring wears out eventually, especially here where humidity and storms are common. We get a lot of calls for:

• Breaker panels that keep tripping
• Power surges after lightning strikes
• Outlets that are hot to the touch
• Flickering lights or brownouts
• Exposed wires after remodeling
• GFCI outlets that won’t reset
• Lightning damage to appliances

If any of that sounds familiar, cut the power at the breaker if it’s safe, then give us a call. We’re right here in Huntsville and usually can get someone to you quickly.

How to Avoid Electrical Emergencies

A lot of emergencies can be prevented with a little maintenance. Through the Blake Brothers Priority Advantage Plan, our electricians inspect panels, test outlets, and make sure everything is up to code before trouble starts.

Here are a few tips we always tell homeowners:

• Have your electrical panel inspected every few years.
• Add whole-home surge protection if you don’t have it.
• Replace outlets or switches that feel warm.
• Don’t overload power strips or plug too much into one circuit.
• Schedule a yearly check before storm season hits.

Simple stuff, but it keeps you from having to call us in the middle of the night.
