Emergency Electrician in Fulshear, TX

When something electrical goes wrong at night, you want two things: to know what is safe to do right now, and to know when help can arrive. Wired Electrical & Generators takes calls around the clock, every day, and we are a family-owned, licensed and insured electrician. If you are in Fulshear and think you need an emergency electrician, call (713) 467-1125.

We are based at 13910 Alice Road in Tomball, and Fulshear is about 50 minutes from the shop by our estimate. That is a real drive, and it gets longer when roads are busy or storms have hit. We tell you our best estimate of arrival on the call, and we say so if a faster option, such as the utility, is the right first call.

Sparks, burning smells and a dead panel

If you see flames or heavy smoke, get everyone out and call 911 first. For a burning smell, sparks at an outlet or a panel that feels hot, stop using that circuit. If the panel is dry and you can reach it safely, turn off the affected breaker, and keep people away from it. If you cannot tell which circuit it is, or the panel itself is the problem, leave it alone and call us. Do not open the panel cover. Never pour water on an electrical fire or touch anything wet near a panel.

Storm damage in Fort Bend County

Fort Bend County has been through Winter Storm Uri and Hurricane Beryl, and storms bring the same problems each time: tree limbs on service lines, torn weatherheads, water in outlets and surge damage to appliances. A downed line or a damaged meter belongs to the utility first. We cannot work on the utility side of the meter, but once it is safe we repair the house side and coordinate the inspection. If water has reached outlets or the panel, stay away from them and call us.

Is it your house or the whole neighborhood?

If neighbors are dark too, it is probably a grid outage, and an electrician cannot restore it. Check the utility's outage map. If only your home is out, or half the house is out, or lights dim and flicker with no storm, that points to your own equipment, and that is when to call. Well pumps and sump pumps on acreage often fail first when power is unstable. Surge damage to appliances can also follow a restoration, so a check afterward is sensible.

What to expect when you call

When you call, we ask what happened, what you see and smell, and where in the house it is. We tell you what is safe to do while you wait, and whether the problem can safely hold until morning. If it needs a visit now, we give you an arrival estimate. Repairs that need a permit, such as a replaced panel or meter base, are permitted and inspected afterward. If we cannot reach you quickly, we tell you honestly and, where it applies, point you to 911 or the utility.
