Our 24/7 Emergency Electrician work in Petrolia
When the power cuts out, an outlet starts sparking or you smell something burning behind a wall, you need an emergency electrician in Petrolia who picks up the phone. Bayshore Electrical Services & Design answers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week across Humboldt County, and sends a truck stocked for the most common urgent repairs.
Sparking outlet repair
A sparking, buzzing or scorched outlet means a loose or failing connection. We make it safe, replace the device and check the rest of the circuit for heat damage.
Breaker keeps tripping
Repeated trips point to an overload, a short or a ground fault. We find which one, fix the cause and replace the breaker only if it has actually failed.
Burning smell and electrical fire repair
If you smell hot plastic or see smoke, shut off the main and call. Once the fire department has cleared the building, we repair burned wiring, devices and panels.
Flickering lights and electrical shorts
Whole-house flicker can signal a loose service neutral, which is a real hazard. We test at the panel and coordinate with the utility when the fault is on their side.
After-hours and urgent electrical repair
Storm damage, water in a panel, a dead circuit feeding medical equipment. Urgent electrician calls in Petrolia go to the front of the line.
Power outage electrician
No power in the house while the neighbors' lights are on? We trace the fault from the meter and main breaker through to the dead circuits and restore power safely.
Call right away if you notice
- A tingle or shock when you touch an appliance or faucet
- Half the house without power, or power lost after a storm
- A burning or fishy smell near an outlet, switch or the breaker panel
- Outlets or switch plates that are warm, discolored or buzzing
- Lights dimming or flickering across several rooms at once
- A breaker that trips again the moment you reset it

24/7 Emergency Electrician questions from Petrolia customers
Is a tripping breaker really an emergency?
One trip after running a space heater and a hair dryer together is an overload, not an emergency. A breaker that trips instantly, feels hot or smells burnt should be left off until an electrician checks it. See our electrical repair service for non-urgent troubleshooting.
What should I do while I wait?
If you see smoke or flames, leave and call 911. Otherwise switch off the affected breaker, or the main breaker if you are not sure which one, unplug what you can and keep clear of any wet areas near wiring.
Do you charge more at night or on weekends?
After-hours calls carry a higher rate than a scheduled daytime visit. We tell you the rate on the phone and give you a firm price on site before any work begins.
The whole street is dark. Should I still call?
If your neighbors in Petrolia are out too, it is almost certainly a utility outage and your utility is the right call. If only your property is out, or power came back to the street but not to you, call us.
From recent customers
After a surge took out our garage door opener and a TV, they installed a whole house protector at the panel. Quick job, clear price, no upsell.
Half the house went dark at 9 pm and an outlet smelled hot. They talked me through shutting off the breaker and had someone at the door that night. He fixed a burned connection and checked the rest of the circuit.
They wired our kitchen remodel from rough-in to final. Island outlets, under-cabinet lights and all the appliance circuits. Our contractor asked for their number.
