When You Need an Electrician Right Now

Some electrical problems can wait until morning. Others can't. A burning smell from your panel, sparks from an outlet, a breaker that won't reset after a storm, or a sudden loss of power to part of your home are situations that need attention now — not tomorrow.

Harrison Electric's answering service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When you call, a real person picks up — not a voicemail, not an automated system. Technicians are available for urgent dispatch including nights and weekends. For most emergency calls we can get someone to you the same day.

What to Expect When You Call

When you call Harrison Electric for an electrical emergency, your technician arrives ready to work. Our trucks are stocked with parts for most common emergency repairs. Your technician will assess the full situation — not just the symptom you called about — explain exactly what they find, and present your options with StraightForward Pricing before any work begins. You decide what happens next. Nothing gets started without your approval.

For situations involving your utility company's equipment — storm damage to the service line, meter issues, or problems at the point where power enters your home — Harrison Electric can make your home safe while you wait for your utility company. That means the problem is contained and your family is protected immediately, rather than leaving a dangerous situation unaddressed until the utility company arrives.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Electrical Service

What counts as a true electrical emergency?
Any situation involving a burning smell, visible sparks, scorch marks, or smoke near electrical components is an emergency — call immediately. A breaker that won't reset, a sudden loss of power to part of your home after a storm, or water contact with electrical components are also situations that warrant an urgent call rather than waiting. When in doubt, call us. We would rather talk you through it and confirm it can wait than have you ignore something serious.
What should I do while I wait for the electrician?
If you smell burning or see sparks, cut power to the affected area at the breaker panel if you can do so safely. Do not use the outlet, switch, or fixture involved. If you are not comfortable at the panel or the situation involves your main service, stay clear and wait for the technician. Do not attempt repairs yourself.
Do you charge extra for after-hours or weekend calls?
Harrison Electric uses StraightForward Pricing on every call — your technician presents all options and costs before any work begins, regardless of when you call. Confirm current after-hours rates when you call to schedule.
What if the problem is with the utility line or meter?
Problems at the meter or utility service line require your utility company to resolve their side. However, Harrison Electric can assess the situation, make your home safe on our end, and help you understand exactly what to report to your utility company. We can be there while you wait so your home is not left in an unsafe condition.
How quickly can you get to me?
When you call our 24-hour answering service, we will assess the situation and get a technician dispatched as quickly as possible. For most emergency calls in the Twin Cities metro we can get someone to you the same day. Response times vary based on call volume and technician availability — we will give you an honest estimate when you call.
