Electrical Emergency vs. Urgent Same-Day Repair
An electrical emergency needs immediate action: smoke or a burning-plastic odor at a panel/outlet, visible arcing/sparking, a hot or buzzing panel, water in electrical equipment, downed lines, or a main breaker that won’t reset (or trips instantly). If you see smoke or fire, call 911. For downed lines or a neighborhood outage, contact your utility first. If it’s safe, shut off the main breaker, keep people away from wet areas, and then call an emergency electrician in the RGV.
Urgent same-day issues can be contained but shouldn’t wait: frequent breaker trips, GFCIs that won’t reset, lights flickering/dimming, a warm dimmer, a dead room circuit, or a persistent outlet/switch failure. These often point to overloaded circuits, loose or back-stabbed connections, failing devices, or a loose neutral. Treviño Repairs will isolate the fault, make a clean, code-compliant repair, and verify safe operation so your Rio Grande Valley home or business is powered and protected.
Know the Warning Signs in the Rio Grande Valley
Stabilize Power Safely (No DIY Repairs)
If you smell burning plastic, hear buzzing at the panel, or see arcing/sparks, shut off the main breaker if it’s safe to reach and keep everyone away from the area. For a single-room issue, turn off the affected breaker and unplug sensitive electronics on that circuit. Do not remove the panel cover, reset a breaker repeatedly, run extension cords or space heaters on suspect outlets, or use wet equipment/areas—if water is present, stay clear. For downed lines or a neighborhood outage, contact your utility first; call 911 if you see smoke or fire. Take a couple of photos for your records, clear access to the panel and affected devices, and we’ll handle the fault isolation and code-compliant repair when we arrive.

What should I do right now before you arrive?

My breakers keep tripping—do I have a serious problem?
