Same-Day & Emergency Electrical Service
Power loss. Burning smell. Sparking outlet. Half the house without power. We respond same-day across the Wasatch Front.
When You Can't Wait Three Days
When something's wrong with your electrical system -- a breaker keeps tripping, an outlet is burning, half your house has no power, or your panel is buzzing -- you don't want to wait three days for an appointment. Osborne Electric responds same-day for urgent electrical issues across the Wasatch Front.
We're licensed Master Electricians (Utah DOPL #12644476-5501) -- not a dispatch service, not a call center. When you call, you talk to a human who can tell you honestly when we can be there.
Call us right away for:
- Partial power loss (some rooms work, others don't)
- Burning smell from an outlet, switch, or panel
- Buzzing or humming from your electrical panel
- Outlet or switch hot to the touch
- Breakers that won't reset
- Tripped GFCI that won't reset
- Newly flickering lights throughout the house
- Damaged service drop (wire from pole to house)
- EV charger, hot tub, or appliance circuit failure
- Recent water damage near electrical equipment
- Storm damage to weather head or service mast
Call 911 First If You See These
For true safety emergencies, call 911 before calling us:
- Smoke or fire
- Someone has been shocked or electrocuted
- A wire is actively sparking or arcing
- Water is touching live electrical equipment
Then call us once the immediate safety threat is secured. We can be on site to assess damage, secure the panel, and get power restored.
What to do while waiting for us:
- Turn off the affected circuit at the panel if safe to do so
- Unplug appliances on the affected circuit
- Don't reset a tripped breaker repeatedly
- Stay away from any water near electrical equipment
- Keep the work area clear for our electrician

Emergency Service Questions
Are you a 24/7 emergency electrician?
We dispatch same-day during business hours (Mon-Fri 7am-6pm, Sat 8am-2pm) and after-hours when crews are available. Always call -- we'll tell you honestly whether we can respond tonight or first thing tomorrow. No game-of-telephone with a national call center.
What counts as an electrical emergency?
Partial power loss, burning smell, panel buzzing, hot outlets, breakers that won't reset, GFCI failures, water damage, storm damage. For fire, sparking, or shock injury, call 911 first.
How fast can you respond?
30-90 minutes in Salt Lake County. 1-3 hours in outer counties. After-hours depends on crew availability -- we tell you straight when you call.
What does emergency electrical service cost?
Diagnostic + minor repair: $150-$350. Tripping circuit fix: $200-$600. Service line repair: $400-$1,200. Panel repair: $250-$800. Larger emergencies quoted on site. After-hours and weekend rates are higher -- we tell you before dispatching.
Can I keep resetting the breaker until you arrive?
No. If a breaker tripped, it tripped for a reason. Repeated resetting can cause a fire. Leave the breaker off, unplug appliances on the circuit, and wait for us.
Do you handle storm-damaged service drops?
Yes -- weather head, service mast, and meter base repairs after wind/snow events. We coordinate with Rocky Mountain Power for utility disconnect/reconnect.
