What is considered an electrical emergency?
An electrical emergency includes any situation that poses a safety risk or disrupts essential power. Common examples include:
• Fire Alarm or Emergency Lighting Malfunctions
These systems are required to always function. If they fail or show faults during testing, immediate repair is essential for code compliance and occupant safety.
• Water Damage to Electrical Infrastructure
Flooding or leaks can compromise panels and wiring. Even with waterproofing and inspections, emergency services are needed to isolate and repair affected systems.
• Frequent Breaker Trips or Circuit Overloads
These may indicate deeper issues like faulty wiring or load imbalances. Left unchecked, they can lead to equipment damage or fire hazards.
• Tenant-Reported Electrical Hazards
Reports of shocks, flickering lights, or non-functional outlets should be investigated immediately, especially if they involve shared or high-load systems.
