Some electrical problems can wait for a convenient appointment. Others can't. A burning smell from an outlet, a panel that's buzzing or hot to the touch, or a breaker that trips the instant you reset it are signs of a fault that can start a fire.
ETL Electric answers the phone 24/7 for homes and businesses across Azle, Fort Worth, Lake Worth, Weatherford, Aledo and Granbury. A licensed electrician will help you decide what's safe to do right now, then come out to find and fix the cause.
When to call right away
- A burning or hot-plastic smell from an outlet, switch, fixture or the panel
- Sparks, arcing, or scorch marks on an outlet or cover plate
- An outlet, switch plate, cord or breaker that feels warm
- Buzzing or crackling from the panel or inside a wall
- Part of the house lost power while the rest still works
- A breaker that trips again immediately after you reset it
- Water reaching outlets, fixtures or the panel after a leak or flood
- Storm damage to the service mast, meter base or wires on your house
What we do
Fault finding
We trace the problem to its source — a failed breaker, a loose or burned connection, a damaged cable — instead of just resetting things and leaving.
Making it safe
If a full repair needs parts or a second visit, we isolate the faulty circuit so the rest of your home or business can stay powered safely.
Storm and water damage
After storms we repair damaged service masts, meter bases, outdoor outlets and wiring on the homeowner's side of the meter, and check equipment that got wet before it's re-energized.
Partial power loss
When half the house goes dark, the cause can be a failed main breaker, a loose connection in the panel, or a problem on the utility's side. We'll help you tell which — and fix what's ours to fix.
What to do before we arrive
If you see smoke or flames, get everyone out and call 911 first. If it's safe to reach the panel, switch off the breaker for the affected circuit — or the main breaker if you're not sure which one. Don't touch anything wet. If a power line is down, stay well away from it and call your utility.
Utility problem or wiring problem?
If your whole street is dark, it's almost always a utility outage — report it to your electricity provider. If only your home, or only part of it, has lost power, the problem is more likely on your side of the meter, and that's where we come in. The meter and the lines to your house belong to the utility; the service mast, meter base, panel and everything after them are usually the property owner's responsibility.

24/7 Emergency Electrician: common questions
Are you really available 24/7?
Yes. Call or text (817) 876-4351 at any hour. A licensed electrician will talk you through what's safe to do and schedule the soonest visit.
Is it dangerous if half my house has no power?
It can be. Losing half the house often points to a failed main breaker or a loose connection at the panel or service, which can overheat. Turn off sensitive electronics and call us — or your utility, if neighbors are affected too.
My breaker keeps tripping. Is that an emergency?
A breaker that trips occasionally under heavy load usually isn't. One that trips immediately after you reset it, feels hot, or comes with a burning smell is — leave it off and call.
