At DADDY ELECTRICIAN, your safety is our top priority.

If you’re facing an electrical issue, follow these tips to stay safe while waiting for our response:

• Avoid Touching Faulty Equipment: If you suspect an appliance or outlet is faulty, do not touch it. Unplug it only if it is safe to do so and the cord or plug is not damaged.
• Turn Off Power to the Affected Area: If possible, locate your circuit breaker panel and switch off the circuit connected to the issue. This helps prevent further damage or hazards.
• Do Not Attempt DIY Repairs: Electrical systems are complex and can be dangerous. Avoid attempting temporary fixes that could cause further damage or injury.
• Stay Away From Water: If there’s water near any electrical outlet or appliance (e.g., due to a leak or flood), stay clear and wait for professional help. Never touch wet electrical equipment.
• Look for Signs of Immediate Danger: Signs such as smoke, sparking, or a burning smell require quick action:
  • Evacuate the area.
  • Call emergency services if there’s a fire risk.
  • Inform us immediately so we can prioritize your case.
• Keep Children and Pets Away: Ensure children and pets stay at a safe distance from any exposed wires, sparks, or electrical hazards.
• Be Prepared to Answer Questions: Once we arrive, providing details like:
  • When the issue started.
  • Any recent changes or incidents (e.g., power surges, new installations).
  • The location of your breaker panel.
• Have Flashlights Ready: If power is out, use flashlights instead of candles to avoid fire risks.
