These electrical problems should not be left unchecked.
Sparks when using an outlet or light switch
Burning or melted-plastic smell near electrical wiring
Breakers repeatedly tripping or sudden power loss
Shock or tingling from an appliance or outlet
Outlets, switches, or panels becoming unusually warm
GFCI outlets that keep tripping or won't reset
Electrical issues can develop quickly, especially in older Whittier homes where wiring, panels, and circuits may have been modified over the years. A new appliance, home addition, or renovation can expose problems that were not noticeable before. Sparks, burning odors, repeated breaker trips, and sudden power loss are all reasons to have the system checked.
⚠️ If something doesn’t look or feel right, don’t wait until morning.

Not every electrical problem needs an emergency call. The key is knowing whether you are dealing with a minor issue, a dangerous electrical fault, or a power outage that belongs to Southern California Edison (SCE).
Some problems can usually wait for a scheduled appointment if there are no signs of immediate danger:
If there is any heat, smoke, burning odor, sparking, or repeated tripping, do not treat it as a routine repair.
Call an emergency electrician if you notice:
Do not keep resetting a breaker or using an outlet that shows signs of overheating. Turn off the affected equipment if it is safe to do so and keep away from damaged electrical components.
When to Check With SCE
If your entire home loses power and your neighbors are also without electricity, check the SCE Outage Center first. If nearby homes have power but yours does not, the problem may be within your electrical system and require an electrician.
For downed power lines or an active electrical fire, stay away and call 911.
