Emergency Call Out - EMC Electrical Services
If you have completely lost power, someone has been electrically shocked, you smell a burning scent, have noticed sparks coming from electrics or can hear a humming or buzzing sound, then we recommend you contact your local 24 hour Emergency Electrician in Bristol.
What happens during an emergency call out?
Initially we will speak on the phone with you or your team to triage the situation and gauge how unsafe the property potentially is. Generally most of the time emergency call outs are a one-man job, but listening to the issue allows us to ensure we are deploying the relevant staff.
Once our team arrives to an emergency call out we begin with a visual inspection of the distribution board or consumer unit/fuseboard and the area that is the main cause for concern. Before we proceed with the fault finding element, we need to ensure the property is safe to work in and no further faults are going to occur - we do this by isolating live components and any that have been damaged, this will ensure the risk of any electrical fire or shock is significantly reduced. We then proceed to locate the fault using electrical testing tools and equipment, designed to locate the root cause of an issue in a timely manner. Many electrical faults are hidden and not visible to the eye, and as we aren’t aware of the scale of the issue yet, it’s so important to locate the issue as quickly as possible.
