- 02A panel, disconnect or transformer is hot, buzzing loudly or smells burnt.
- 03Water has reached electrical equipment.

- 06Corridor, stair or parking lighting has failed in an occupied building.
Smoke, Fire or a Shock? Call 911 First.
If there is smoke, fire, active arcing or someone has been injured, call 911 before anything else. Keep people away from the equipment. Do not open panels, pull fuses or reset breakers that keep tripping. Once the scene is safe, call us at 647-835-7757.

Make Safe, Diagnose, Restore
The first priority is making the site safe. Then the electrician isolates the fault and restores as much of the building as can be safely energized. Where a permanent repair needs material or utility involvement, we explain the interim condition and what comes next. Response times are a target, not a guarantee.
Documentation for Insurers and Landlords
Emergency work is recorded: what failed, what was found, what was made safe and what still needs doing. That record helps when you are dealing with an insurer, a landlord or a property manager after the event.
