"Great service! LaShaun was able to come out on a Sunday and fix our electrical emergency. Excellent service and a great guy! We would highly recommend!"
Not every electrical issue is an emergency, but these situations require immediate professional attention. If you notice any of the following, call (843) 754-1671 right away.
Visible sparks or burning smells from outlets, switches, or your breaker panel require immediate attention to prevent fire.
Lightning strikes, downed lines, and surge damage are common in the Lowcountry. We respond around the clock after severe weather.
Repeated breaker trips or partial power loss can signal dangerous wiring faults. Our electricians diagnose and fix the root cause fast.
Exposed wires from renovation, pests, or age pose shock and fire risks. We make the area safe and complete permanent repairs.
Most electrical companies stop answering the phone at 5 PM. EmergenServe was built differently. Our name says it all: we EMERGE 'N SERVE when you need it most. Every call is answered by a real person, every dispatch goes to a licensed electrician, and every truck is stocked with the parts needed to resolve common emergencies on the first visit.
Our electricians carry active South Carolina licensing, full insurance, and complete ongoing training aligned with the National Electrical Code (NEC 2026). Whether the issue is a smoking panel in a historic Charleston Single Family Home or a total outage at a North Charleston warehouse, we arrive prepared to make the situation safe and restore power.
We provide transparent pricing before any work begins. No surprise fees, no inflated after-hours surcharges. You know exactly what the repair costs before we pick up a tool.

Emergency Services Available 24/7
When the power fails at 2 a.m. or you smell hot plastic coming from a Charleston outlet, you need an emergency electrician on the road within minutes, not first thing tomorrow morning. EmergenServe runs a true 24/7 emergency dispatch with licensed master electricians on call every night, weekend, and holiday across Charleston, Mount Pleasant, James Island, Johns Island, Daniel Island, North Charleston, West Ashley, Summerville, Goose Creek, Hanahan, Moncks Corner, Isle of Palms, Sullivan's Island, and Folly Beach.
Not every electrical problem is an emergency, but several absolutely are, and recognizing the difference protects your family and your property. Call EmergenServe immediately if you smell burning plastic or ozone near a panel or outlet, see smoke or sparks, hear humming or buzzing from your meter or panel, notice scorching or discoloration around outlets, or have lost power to half your home (a sign of a dropped utility leg or failed neutral). Any one of these is a fire risk, not a maintenance issue.
Other situations, a dead outlet on a single branch circuit, a tripped breaker that resets cleanly, a flickering light when the AC kicks on, are real problems but not life-safety emergencies. EmergenServe will tell you honestly during the dispatch call whether you need an electrician right now or whether you can safely wait for a same-day or next-day appointment.
Most Charleston electricians' definition of '24/7 emergency service' actually means an answering service that takes a message and a callback the next morning. EmergenServe is different. Our after-hours line connects directly to a licensed electrician, not a call center, who can troubleshoot over the phone and dispatch a truck immediately if needed.
Weekend and holiday dispatch carries a modest after-hours surcharge that is disclosed upfront before we leave the shop. There are no surprises on your invoice. We provide a flat-rate quote at your door before any emergency repair work begins, so you know exactly what the call will cost.
Charleston's exposure to lightning, severe thunderstorms, and tropical systems means EmergenServe's emergency call volume spikes dramatically during storm events. After Hurricane Hugo, Matthew, Dorian, Florence, Idalia, and every named system that has hit the Lowcountry, our crews have been on the road within hours assessing damaged service entrances, dropped weatherheads, flooded panels, and fried equipment.
If your meter base or service mast has been damaged, you cannot legally have power restored by Dominion Energy until a licensed electrician has repaired and re-permitted the service. EmergenServe handles emergency service entrance repairs, weatherhead replacements, and meter base restorations, then coordinates directly with Dominion to get your power turned back on.
If you smell burning, hear arcing, or see smoke, do not investigate the source yourself. Get everyone out of the affected area, call 911 if there is visible smoke or fire, and then call EmergenServe at (843) 754-1671. If it is safe to do so and you can reach your main breaker without entering a damaged area, switch off the main to remove power from the entire home.
Do not pour water on an electrical fire. Do not attempt to reset a breaker that is hot to the touch. Do not stand in standing water near any outlet, switch, or appliance. These basic precautions, combined with our rapid response, keep small problems from becoming catastrophic ones.
When the on-call phone rings at 2 a.m., we're not stopping at the supply house in the morning, we're rolling with the parts to actually finish the job. Every emergency truck in our fleet carries a full complement of Square D QO, Eaton CH/BR, and Siemens single, double, and tandem breakers in 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60-amp ratings. We carry 200-amp main breakers, GFCI and AFCI breakers, weatherheads, meter base hubs, AlumiConn connectors, and enough THHN and SE cable to repair most service entrance hits on the spot.
We carry an infrared thermometer and an FLIR thermal camera because a hot neutral or a loose lug doesn't always look like anything, it just feels warm. We carry a Megger insulation tester for water-damaged circuits after a Lowcountry flood. And we carry a generator and a 100-foot cord set so we can get your fridge, your CPAP, and your medical equipment back on power before we even start the real repair. That's what a real 24/7 emergency electrician looks like, and that's what (843) 754-1671 gets you.
Yes. EmergenServe's after-hours line connects directly to a licensed electrician, not an answering service. Calls are returned within minutes, and a truck can be dispatched immediately for true emergencies.
After-hours and weekend emergency calls in Charleston typically run a $189 to $289 dispatch fee plus the cost of any repairs. EmergenServe provides a flat-rate quote at your door before work begins.
Burning smells, smoke or sparks, partial power loss, scorched outlets, hot breakers, or any visible damage to your service entrance, meter, or panel. When in doubt, call (843) 754-1671, we'll triage over the phone.
Response times vary by location and call volume but typically run 30 to 90 minutes for emergencies in Charleston, Mount Pleasant, North Charleston, and West Ashley. Outlying areas like Moncks Corner and rural Johns Island may take slightly longer.
Absolutely. EmergenServe handles emergency service entrance repairs, weatherhead replacements, meter base restorations, and Dominion Energy reconnection coordination after every major Charleston storm.
