Electrical problems don’t wait, and neither do we.
Walker Electric Services, Inc. provides real, dependable emergency electrical services for homes and businesses across Gastonia and surrounding areas. When something goes wrong, you get a licensed electrician who responds quickly — not automated systems, recordings, or delays.
Power outages affecting only your home or building
This means the electricity has gone out in your home or business, but surrounding properties still have power. It usually indicates a problem in your electrical panel, service line, or internal wiring — not with the power company.
Burning smells or smoking outlets
A burning odor or smoke coming from an outlet, switch, or appliance can signal overheating wires, loose connections, or a dangerous short circuit. This is a serious fire hazard and needs immediate attention.
Tripped breakers that won’t reset
If a breaker keeps shutting off and won’t reset, it often means there is an overload, a short circuit, or faulty wiring somewhere in the system. For safety, the breaker refuses to turn back on until the problem is fixed.
Sudden loss of power to part of your home or building
If only certain rooms or sections of your home or business lose power, it often indicates a failing circuit, loose connection, damaged wiring, or an overloaded electrical panel. This type of partial outage can become dangerous if ignored and should be inspected quickly by a licensed electrician.
Overheated electrical panels or breakers
Lights flickering or dimming unexpectedly can indicate loose wiring, an overloaded circuit, failing electrical components, or issues with the main service connection.
Sparking outlets or switches
If an outlet or light switch produces sparks when you plug something in or turn it on, it often indicates loose wiring, overheating, or a failing electrical component. Sparking is a serious warning sign that should be checked immediately to prevent shock risks or potential fire hazards.
Equipment or machinery losing power
When appliances, HVAC units, or commercial machinery shut off or lose power unexpectedly, it may be caused by faulty circuits, bad connections, overloaded systems, or equipment wiring failures.
Storm damage or water-related electrical hazards
Rain, flooding, or storm impact can cause breakers to trip, wiring to short out, or electrical panels to become unsafe. Water and electricity create dangerous conditions that need professional inspection.
Generator problems or failure
A generator not starting, shutting off, or failing to transfer power indicates an issue with the generator wiring, fuel system, transfer switch, or internal components. This is especially urgent for businesses that rely on backup power.
