Common Tampa Bay Electrical Emergencies

The most frequent emergency calls we get across Tampa Bay come from a handful of recurring issues. Knowing the pattern helps homeowners act quickly and safely:

• Hurricane and storm outages — Tampa Bay typically sees 2–5 named storms per season. Power restoration by TECO or Duke Energy can take days. Storm-damaged service entrances, broken weather heads, and water-intrusion at panels are common follow-up emergencies.
• Lightning damage — Florida has the highest lightning strike density in the US. Tripped main breakers, fried electronics, and damaged ground systems are common after summer thunderstorms.
• Panel failures in older homes — Federal Pacific, Zinsco, and Pushmatic panels found in 1960s-80s Tampa, Clearwater, and St. Pete homes can fail without warning. Loose neutrals on aluminum-wired panels are especially dangerous.
• GFCI failures at coastal and waterfront homes — Salt air and moisture accelerate corrosion. GFCIs that won’t reset, repeatedly trip, or show signs of moisture damage need immediate attention.
• Burning smell or smoke — Treat this as an immediate life-safety issue. Cut power at the main breaker if safe to do so, evacuate, and call us — or 911 if there’s visible smoke.

What to Do Before We Arrive

1. If you smell burning or see smoke: evacuate, call 911 first, then call us.
2. If a breaker trips repeatedly: stop resetting it. Unplug everything on that circuit. Call us — repeated resetting damages breakers and can cause fires.
3. If you’ve lost partial power: check if TECO/Duke shows an outage in your area (usually means utility-side issue, not your panel). If no outage, the problem is at your panel or meter.
4. If outlets are sparking or warm: shut off the breaker for that circuit. Don’t use the outlet until inspected.
5. If a panel is hot to touch: shut off the main breaker if safely accessible. Stay clear. Call us immediately.
