Before we arrive
These four are not wait-until-morning problems. If any apply, stop using the affected area and call.
A burning or fishy smell near an outlet, switch or panel means something is overheating inside the wall. Switch off the breaker if you can reach it safely, do not use the circuit, and call.
Visible sparks from an outlet, switch or panel indicate a loose or failing connection. Stop using it and leave it off.
A panel cover that is warm to the touch, or buzzing and crackling from inside, means a live fault. Do not open the panel.
After flooding or a roof leak, do not touch panels, outlets or switches that may be wet. Stay clear and call.
Emergency Service
Not everything is an emergency, and we will tell you honestly if something can wait until normal hours — that usually costs you less.
What genuinely warrants a call tonight is anything suggesting heat or arcing inside the electrical system: burning smells, scorch marks, sparking, a warm panel, or a breaker that trips immediately every time you reset it. Those indicate a fault that is actively drawing current somewhere it should not be. A breaker doing its job by tripping is a warning, and repeatedly resetting it without finding the cause is how a hazard becomes a fire.
One useful check before calling: if the power is out, look at whether your neighbors also lost theirs. A whole-street outage is a utility problem and the utility will restore it. Power lost in only your house, or in only part of it, is yours — and that is what we handle.
We arrive, make the situation safe first, then diagnose. Sometimes safe means isolating a circuit overnight and returning with parts. We would rather leave your home safe with one circuit off than rush a repair in the dark.
Common calls
Half the house dark while the rest works usually points to a failed main lug, a service connection or one leg of the incoming supply.
A breaker tripping instantly on reset means the fault is still present. That needs tracing, not force.
Often a failed device, a loose connection in a daisy-chained run, or a tripped GFCI somewhere unexpected.
After lightning or an outage, damage may be inside panels and equipment rather than visible.
Flooding and roof leaks reach panels and outlets. Affected equipment usually needs replacing, not drying out.
Backup systems that fail to transfer, or a generator connected unsafely during an outage.
Limbs down on overhead lines, a bent mast or a pulled weatherhead — coordinated with the utility and made safe.
Discoloration or a melted faceplate means the device has been running hot and needs replacing, along with finding out why.
Why Total Comfort
Nearly fifty years of residential work in the same four counties, under one Florida electrical contractor license.
Florida electrical contractor license EC13003957. Every install is done to current code and inspected against it.
Nearly five decades working on Florida homes, through the storm seasons, the salt air and the grid conditions that come with them.
Homes, not commercial buildings. The failure patterns in a Florida house are what we see every day.
We find the cause before quoting the fix. Replacing a breaker that keeps tripping solves nothing if the circuit is overloaded.
You approve the scope and the price before work starts. No discovering the number at the end.
Electrical emergencies do not keep business hours. Neither does the phone.
How It Works
The same five steps on every call, from the first phone conversation through to the final code check.
Tell us what the system is doing. Symptoms matter — when it happens, what else is running, whether anything smells or feels warm.
A licensed electrician tests the circuit, panel and connections to find the actual cause rather than the visible symptom.
You get the scope and the price before any work begins, including what is required for code compliance.
The work is completed to current code, using correctly sized components for the load the home actually carries.
We test the repair under load and confirm the installation meets code before we leave.
