When it can’t wait, call us

Sparking outlets, burning odors, a buzzing panel at midnight—electrical emergencies are stressful and dangerous. Global Electric Services runs an after-hours line staffed by on-call electricians who know Austin neighborhoods from Zilker to Tech Ridge. We’ll talk you through first steps and dispatch quickly to make your home safe.

What counts as an electrical emergency

If there’s risk of fire or shock—or critical power is out—treat it as urgent and reach out immediately.

  • Sparking or smoking outlets/switches
  • Burning smell from panel or device
  • Partial or total home outage
  • Tripped main that won’t reset
  • Water exposure in panels or devices
  • Storm or tree damage to service

What to expect from our electricians

We isolate the hazard first—shutting down the affected circuit or service if necessary—then diagnose with pro test gear. Many issues are repaired on the spot from stocked vehicles; if parts or utility coordination are needed, we install a safe temporary solution and schedule final repairs. Not sure if it’s urgent? Our team can advise and, for non-emergency issues, route you to electrical troubleshooting during business hours. Business owners can also call for after-hours help—see our commercial services if you need priority support options.
