Emergency Electrical Services in St. Louis
Emergency Electrical Response Throughout Franklin, St. Charles, & St. Louis Counties
Serious electrical problems do not wait for convenient times to strike. A breaker that will not reset, an outlet sparking behind a wall, a burning smell with no clear source: these are situations that demand attention. What you need at that moment is to reach a team that can help you schedule service as soon as possible.
When you call Potts Electric, we answer any time of day or night, every day of the year. Our answering service will take your information and schedule you for the next available appointment.
Don’t wait. Schedule emergency electrical service by calling (573) 828-2715.
How Our Emergency Service Works
At Potts Electric, 24-hour availability means your service request is received and scheduled immediately. Technician dispatch runs Monday through Friday until 5:00 PM, and Saturday until 1:00 PM, with no service calls on Sundays. These set windows allow our team to maintain the high level of focus required for safe electrical work, avoiding the fatigue that often comes with overnight shifts.
True hazards, such as live wires or signs of an electrical fire, receive priority scheduling to address the situation quickly. For all other issues that occur outside of dispatch hours, your information is prioritized so a technician can arrive first thing during the next available window. This straightforward approach balances urgency with the technical precision needed to protect your home.

Common Questions about Emergency Electrical Service in St. Louis
Can you dispatch a technician at 2:00 AM?
Our standard dispatch windows are Monday through Friday until 5:00 PM and Saturday until 1:00 PM. For calls that come in outside those windows, we collect your information, assess the situation's severity, and prioritize accordingly. True life-safety emergencies can be escalated to our on-call manager. For situations that can safely wait, you will be our first call when dispatch opens.
What should I do while waiting for an electrician?
If you smell burning or see signs of an electrical fire, leave the home and call 911 before calling us. If the issue is a tripped breaker, a dead outlet, or something that does not appear to involve heat or arcing, switching off the affected circuit at the panel is a safe precaution while you wait.
Are emergency calls more expensive?
We provide upfront pricing on all of our work. Any applicable charges will be communicated clearly before work begins so there are no surprises on the invoice.

Thank you for making us feel like a valued customer.“So happy we chose Potts. Had a good feeling when we met with Montel and were quoted a fair price for moving our service, plus installing a new electrical panel and adding a generator shut off switch. Also, at the time of our quote, we were made aware of a prior unsafe situation created by another electrician (which they fixed, leaving us with a nice, safe, and warm fuzzy feeling when we go to sleep now!) Our Installer, Sean, did a great job. He did the job quickly, and he did a great job (organizing the wires in the new panel and mounting the boxes and additional wires on our siding so nicely). Sean did a great job communicating with us along the way and was very diligent about the quality of his work. Also, we would be remiss if we did not mention that our family life is a little action-packed and hectic, especially with our autistic son around. Sean was so patient and unfazed by all the extra chaos! Thank you for making us feel like a valued customer.”Kelly B.
