911, the utility, or an electrician?
The right first call depends on what is happening. You do not need to inspect equipment or identify the fault yourself.
Report it to your utility.
If the street is dark, check your utility’s outage information. Stay at least 30 feet from downed lines and anything touching them. Report them immediately; call 911 for immediate danger.
Dominion outage information ↗Get professional help.
A recurring breaker trip, unusual heat, damaged wiring, or partial power loss needs evaluation. A single-home outage can also involve utility equipment. Leave damaged equipment alone.
Call PRO: 703-225-8222 ↗For any immediate danger, move to safety and call 911. Otherwise, choose a situation above or call PRO to describe the problem.

Find the fault. Plan the repair.Describe the symptoms.
Urgent electrical help for Fairfax homes.
From an outlet that suddenly smells hot to power disappearing from part of the house, the first step is understanding what failed and what is safe to use.
Describe the symptoms.
Leave the inspection to us.
Tell us when it started, which rooms are affected, and whether there is heat, noise, water, or visible damage. Do not remove panel covers, touch a meter, or approach a hazard to take a photo.
Panel & breaker problems
Recurring trips, unusual buzzing, discoloration, or loss of power can have several causes. Professional diagnosis determines the repair scope.
Panel repair and upgrade services →Outlets, switches & damaged wiring
Heat, arcing, and a burning smell deserve prompt attention. Stop using the affected area and keep people away from damaged equipment.
Partial or whole-home power loss
We evaluate customer-owned electrical equipment. Utility-side problems require utility involvement; an outage at one property does not automatically mean an indoor wiring fault.
Repeated circuit interruptions
Leave a repeatedly tripping circuit off. The cause may be a load, appliance, wiring, or protective-device problem.
Circuit breaker services →Electrical issues affecting heating or cooling
Tell us whether the HVAC system alone is affected or other parts of the property have lost power too. PRO provides both electrical and HVAC service.

Fairfax emergency electrical FAQ
Local questions. Direct answers.
Who can I call for an emergency electrician in Fairfax, VA?
Call PRO Electric plus HVAC at 703-225-8222 for 24/7 emergency electrical service in Fairfax. Describe the warning signs and give your street address, including whether the property is in Fairfax City or Fairfax County. For fire, smoke, an electrical injury, or immediate danger, call 911 first from a safe location.
Do you serve Old Town Fairfax and Mosby Woods?
Yes. PRO Electric plus HVAC serves the City of Fairfax, including Old Town Fairfax, Mosby Woods, and Fairchester. Service also extends to nearby Fairfax County communities. Give the dispatcher your exact address and any parking, gate, or building-access instructions.
How quickly can an emergency electrician reach my Fairfax home?
Call for current availability and an arrival estimate for your address. Timing depends on the active call schedule, road conditions, and the nature of the emergency. A nearby office does not mean a truck is immediately available. Do not wait for an electrician when there is a fire or another immediate threat to safety.
Should I call Dominion Energy or an electrician if my power is out?
If nearby properties are also without power, check your utility’s outage information and report the outage. If only your home or part of your home is affected, the problem can be on the utility side or inside the property. Report the outage to your utility and call an electrician for help with customer-owned equipment. Do not open a meter enclosure or electrical panel.
What should I do if I smell burning near an outlet or panel?
Stop using the affected area and keep people away. Do not touch, unplug, reset, or open equipment that is hot, sparking, smoking, wet, or visibly damaged. If there is smoke, fire, or immediate danger, leave and call 911. If there is no immediate danger, call an emergency electrician promptly and describe the smell and its location.
Why are some lights bright while other lights are dim?
Unusual brightening and dimming can indicate a serious supply or connection problem, including a neutral fault. The symptoms alone do not establish the cause or which party owns the faulty equipment. Avoid using affected electrical equipment and contact your utility and an emergency electrician promptly.
Can I keep resetting a breaker that trips?
No. Repeated tripping needs professional evaluation. Leave the affected circuit off and do not bypass the breaker or replace it with a larger one. Heat, a burning smell, sparks, water, or visible damage make the situation more urgent.
Does an emergency electrical repair need a Fairfax City permit?
It depends on the repair and the property’s jurisdiction. Fairfax City lists adding, removing, or relocating wiring and electrical equipment as permit work, with exceptions for certain in-kind replacements. Confirm the specific scope with City Code Administration. A Fairfax postal address alone does not establish whether city or county requirements apply.
How much does emergency electrical service cost in Fairfax?
The cost depends on the fault, equipment, access, and repair scope. Ask about the dispatch or diagnostic fee when you call, including any after-hours charge. Request the repair price after diagnosis and before authorizing work. A phone description alone is not enough to price every repair.
What information should I have ready when I call?
Share the street address, callback number, warning signs, when the problem began, whether the outage affects all or part of the property, and whether nearby homes have power. Mention essential medical equipment and any access restrictions. Describe what you can observe safely; do not approach a hazard to gather details.
