How quickly can Majors Electrical respond to an electrical emergency in Sarasota?

Our target response time is 60 minutes or less throughout the Sarasota-Bradenton metropolitan area. During severe weather events, response times may be longer due to road conditions and high call volume, but we triage all calls by safety severity and dispatch to the most critical situations first.

What should I do if I smell something burning from my electrical panel?

Turn off the main breaker immediately if it is safe to do so—do not touch the panel if you see scorching, melting, or active flames. Move your family outside the home and call Majors Electrical's emergency line and 911 if you see smoke or fire. A burning smell from the panel typically indicates overheated connections, a failing breaker, or melting wire insulation—all of which are fire hazards that require immediate professional attention.

Does emergency electrical service cost more than a regular service call?

Emergency calls outside of regular business hours include an after-hours service fee to cover the on-call electrician's availability. We provide the after-hours rate upfront when you call, before we dispatch, so there are no surprises. The repair costs themselves are the same as during regular hours—only the service call fee differs.

Can you repair electrical storm damage in Sarasota?

Yes. We repair all types of storm-related electrical damage including damaged service entrance cables, water-infiltrated panels, lightning-damaged surge protectors and equipment, and wind-damaged exterior fixtures and conduit. If the damage involves the utility-side service (meter base or service drop), we coordinate directly with FPL to restore your connection.

What if my power is out but my neighbors still have power?

If your neighbors have power and your home does not, the issue is on your side of the meter—typically a failed main breaker, tripped service disconnect, or damaged service entrance cable. Do not attempt to reset a main breaker that has tripped due to unknown causes, as this could re-energize a fault. Call Majors Electrical for diagnosis and repair.

If you see a downed power line on your property or in the street, stay at least 35 feet away—the ground around a downed line can be energized. Call 911 and FPL at 1-800-4-OUTAGE. Do not attempt to move the line or touch anything in contact with it. Wait for the utility crew to arrive and de-energize the line.
