When It Couldn't Wait
"I had an issue with my bathroom lights not working and called Corrigan's emergency line. Shawn Corrigan called me back and when I explained what was wrong he talked me through troubleshooting and helped me find the ground fault plug that was tripped."
Don Frey

If you see smoke, fire, or sparks, leave the area and call 911 first. For burning smells, water near wiring, a hot panel, or anything that feels unsafe, call Corrigan Electric at 502-267-4600, and we'll tell you what to do next. After hours, press 1 for a return call within 15 minutes.

Always. Every Corrigan Electric emergency call is handled by a licensed electrician trained to find the cause and fix it safely. Even in an emergency, we explain what needs attention now and what can wait, and you approve the work before it begins.
-
If you see smoke or flames, leave and call 911. If there's only a burning smell, stop using that outlet or circuit, turn off its breaker if you can do so safely, and don't touch anything that's hot or discolored. Then call Corrigan Electric at 502-267-4600. A burning smell is never something to wait on.
-
First, check your main breaker and reset it if it's tripped. If it trips again, or only part of your home has power, the problem may be in your panel, your meter, or the service line, so call the utility to check their equipment and call Corrigan Electric at 502-267-4600 to check yours.
-
Yes, Corrigan Electric charges an after-hours rate. Before sending anyone out, we get the details of what's happening. If it's safe, we'll walk you through a temporary fix over the phone. If the problem can wait, we'll schedule it for normal business hours. Either way, you only pay the after-hours rate when you truly need it.
