Do I Need an Emergency Electrician? 5 Signs to Watch For

Electrical problems often start small—but they can escalate fast. Here are five signs you should never ignore:

  1. Frequent tripping of circuit breakers – This suggests overloading or faulty wiring.

  2. Burning smell from sockets or switches – May indicate overheating or short circuits.

  3. Buzzing noises or flickering lights – These often point to loose connections or aging wiring.

  4. Electric shocks when touching appliances – Extremely dangerous and must be investigated.

  5. Power outages affecting just your home – Not a grid issue—likely a fault in your system.

If you're experiencing any of these, it’s time to call a qualified emergency electrician. At Voltex, we offer 24/7 emergency callouts in Leicester and surrounding areas. Your safety is our priority.
