Electrical emergencies don't wait. Neither do we.
Unity Power and Light provides 24/7 emergency electrical service throughout Aiken and the surrounding areas. If you're experiencing a dangerous electrical situation, don't wait—call us immediately at (803) 220-4491. Our licensed electricians are ready to respond quickly and safely to protect your home, family, and property.
Call us immediately if you experience any of these situations:
Your home has lost power but your neighbors still have electricity. This indicates a serious problem with your service, meter, or main panel.
A burning plastic or electrical smell indicates overheating wiring that can lead to fire. This is extremely dangerous and requires immediate attention.
Visible sparks from outlets, switches, or your electrical panel represent a serious fire hazard. Turn off power if safe to do so and call immediately.
Smoke is an extreme emergency. If you see actual flames, call 911 first, then call us. If just smoke with no flames, shut off power and call us immediately.
Unusual buzzing, crackling, or popping sounds from outlets, switches, or panels indicate arcing or loose connections that can cause fires.
Exposed or damaged wiring creates both shock and fire hazards. Keep everyone away from the area and call for emergency repair.
Feeling electric shocks when touching appliances indicates a dangerous grounding problem that must be fixed immediately.
Water and electricity are a deadly combination. If your panel is wet from flooding or leaks, this creates severe shock and fire hazards.
If you see a downed power line, assume it's live and deadly. Stay at least 35 feet away, call 911, then call your utility company. Never touch or approach fallen lines.
While we're happy to help with all your electrical needs, the following situations typically don't require emergency service:
If you're unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call anyway. We'd rather assess your situation and confirm you're safe than have you wait when there's a hidden danger.
