Our Emergency Response Process

Fast Answers When It Can’t Wait

Burning smells, sparking outlets, and sudden power loss need a real diagnosis fast — not a guess over the phone.

Answer and Dispatch Immediately

A real person picks up and gets an electrician moving, so a genuine hazard isn’t left sitting overnight.

Locate the Danger First

We find exactly what’s causing the smell, spark, or outage before touching anything, so the real hazard gets addressed, not just the visible symptom.

Licensed Electrician on Every Emergency Call

Live hazards get handled by a licensed master electrician, not an apprentice working alone after hours.

Make It Safe Before We Leave

We confirm the danger is fully resolved, not just quieted, before calling the job done.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers Before You Call

How fast can an electrician get to my home in an emergency?2026-08-12T11:32:47-04:00

We prioritize emergency calls and dispatch as quickly as possible, day or night.

Is there an extra charge for emergency or after-hours service?2026-08-12T11:33:24-04:00

Emergency calls may include an after-hours dispatch fee. We’ll explain any cost before work begins.

Will you fix the emergency permanently, or just make it safe for now?2026-08-12T11:34:08-04:00

Our goal is to resolve the actual issue on the spot when possible. If further repair is needed, we’ll make the situation safe first and explain next steps.

Do I need to evacuate if I smell burning or see smoke?2026-09-03T09:49:28-04:00

If you can safely identify where the burning smell is coming from, turn off the power to that room at the electrical panel. If you can’t locate the source, shut off the main breaker, leave the home, and call Durbin Electric right away. If there is an active fire, call 911 first.

Everyone I talked to was very kind, and the electrician, Jack, was very kind and... understanding. He knew exactly what to do and had a good attitude about his work. The job was relatively straightforward and he went in and got it done quickly so I only paid the minimum service fee. I would recommend Durbin if you need an electrician without crazy wait times.read more

Durbin Electric did a great job adding a subpanel to our completely full main panel. They also... installed outdoor outlets for our deck music system, patio TV and two eave outlets for security cameras. (The eave outlets required running wiring all the way from the basement into the attic.) They also added a floor outlet in the living room to eliminate an extension cord running across the floor to our couch. This was done over the finished part of the basement with no drywall work required at all!Very neat installation with minimal disruption in the house. I highly recommend them!read more

I needed a new light switch installed in a basement bedroom. There was nothing convenient for... the electricians to tie into. They figured out a way to make it work, and completed efficiently. The work done looked good, they cleaned up, and they wore protective gear to prevent damage to our floors and carpet. They were also punctual and very friendly and informative on the work done.read more

Trey and Trey were very professional and did a great job. Durbin themselves was reasonable... price in today's economy. Had to drop from 5 star to 4 star, as a day after they left I had a different plug-in for sump pimp quit working. I give Durbin credit for making it a priority due to incoming rain. They showed up on time and trouble shot the issue, which turned out to be one of the tandom circuit breakers that they had installed. But yet I was charged a $200.00 service charge for an issue that they causeed under the initial job. Not happy about being charged for something that should have been correct to start with. Contacted office, they where very understanding and took care of the issue. I would recommend Durbin to all my friends.read more
