Hire a licensed electrician for a sparking circuit breaker; do not try to fix it yourself. Sparking means arcing and heat, which can lead to fire, and panels store dangerous energy even with the main off. A pro can test the breaker, the wiring, and the panel buss to find the fault and make a safe repair or replacement. Absolute Electric LLC offers 24/7 emergency response for Absolute Family Plan members; emergency rates apply. We routinely handle panel and breaker emergencies across Northern Virginia.
Stop and call a professional immediately if you notice:
- Burning odor
- Buzzing sounds
- Circuit breakers frequently tripped
- Sparking
Until help arrives, switch the breaker off and keep the panel area clear of flammables.
