Memphis Emergency Electricians Available Now
Altus Electric is available 24 hours a day, every day of the year, for residential and commercial electrical emergencies across Memphis, TN. When something feels wrong, call immediately.
These Electrical Situations Demand an Immediate Call
If you are asking whether your situation warrants calling an emergency electrician in Memphis, the answer is almost certainly yes. A burning smell coming from an outlet or electrical panel is a direct warning that wiring may be overheating, and if left alone, that can become a house fire. Sparking receptacles expose live current that can arc onto nearby materials or create additional overheating. Breakers that trip repeatedly and will not reset are telling you the circuit is overloaded or that there is a fault somewhere in the wiring. Forcing a reset without inspection risks a fire behind your walls.
If your home or business has recently experienced flooding or storm damage, do not restore power until a licensed electrician has inspected the panel and wiring. Our panel inspection and power protection services cover exactly this kind of post-event assessment.
Calling Altus Electric Puts a Licensed Technician on the Way
When you call 901-410-0702, you are not reaching an answering service or a callback queue. Altus Electric is available 24 hours a day, every day of the year, and a licensed electrician is dispatched immediately, regardless of the hour. There is no waiting until the next business day.
When the technician arrives, they come equipped with proper diagnostic equipment to identify the root cause of the problem, not just the visible symptom. Before any work begins, the technician walks you through what they found in plain language: what failed, why it is a problem, and what it takes to fix it correctly. No jargon, no pressure, no surprises.

Common Questions About Emergency Electrical Service in Memphis
How fast can an emergency electrician get to my house in Memphis tonight?
Altus Electric is available 24 hours a day. When you call 901-410-0702, a licensed electrician is dispatched immediately, there is no waiting until morning. Actual arrival time depends on your location within the Memphis service area and conditions at the time of your call, but we move as quickly as possible on every emergency.
What should I do while I wait for the emergency electrician to show up?
If there is a visible hazard, such as sparking, a burning smell, or exposed wiring, and it is safe to do so, turn off the main breaker to remove power from the affected area. Keep everyone away from the problem area and do not attempt any DIY repairs. Keep your phone line clear so the technician can reach you if needed before arrival.
Does calling an emergency electrician at night cost more than a regular appointment?
After-hours emergency calls may carry a different rate than scheduled daytime appointments. Altus Electric provides transparent pricing before any work begins, and you will know what the job involves and what it costs before the technician starts. Call 901-410-0702 to discuss the scope of your situation and get a clear figure upfront.
My house got hit by a bad storm last night. Does that kind of electrical damage count as an emergency?
Yes. Storm damage to wiring, panels, or service entrances is a genuine electrical emergency. Attempting to use damaged circuits before a licensed inspection is dangerous, water intrusion near electrical components and surge damage can both create hazards that are not visible to the eye. Altus Electric responds to storm-related electrical calls 24 hours a day.
