Emergency Electrician in Longview TX in Tyler, Longview & East Texas
Electrical emergencies don't keep business hours. A burning smell behind a wall, an outlet throwing sparks, a panel that's hot to the touch, or a storm that takes out half your home's power — these are the calls we take day, night, weekend, and holiday across Tyler, Longview, and the surrounding counties.
When you call, you get a real person and a straight answer — not a recording. We'll talk you through making the situation safe immediately (which breaker to kill, what not to touch), then get a licensed electrician rolling to you. On site, the first job is always safety: isolate the hazard, confirm what failed, and stop it from getting worse. Then we diagnose the root cause and fix it — or stabilize it tonight and schedule the permanent repair if parts are involved.
Most after-hours calls are panel failures, dead circuits, water-damaged wiring, and storm-related service-mast or meter damage. We handle the utility coordination when the weatherhead or meter base is involved, and every emergency repair is done to code and priced in writing before we start the work — even at 2am.
Signs it's time
- Burning smell or scorch marks around outlets, switches, or the panel
- Sparks, arcing, or a buzzing/crackling sound from a receptacle or breaker
- A breaker panel that's warm, smoking, or won't reset
- Loss of power to part of the home with no utility outage
- Storm damage to the meter, mast, or service entrance
- Water intrusion near wiring, outlets, or the panel
- Exposed or downed wiring after an accident or tree fall
Every wire,
every device.

Questions we
hear a lot.
Straight answers about emergency electrician in longview tx — and if yours isn't here, call and ask. A real person picks up.
What counts as an electrical emergency?
Anything that smells like burning, sparks, smokes, or gets hot — plus loss of power that isn't a utility outage, storm damage to your service entrance, or exposed/downed wiring. If something feels dangerous, kill the breaker if you can reach it safely and call us. When in doubt, call — we'd rather talk you down than have you wait.
Are you really available 24/7?
Yes. We answer the phone day, night, weekends, and holidays for genuine electrical emergencies across East Texas. You'll reach a real person who can triage the situation and dispatch a licensed electrician.
What should I do while I wait for you to arrive?
If it's safe to reach your panel, switch off the breaker feeding the problem circuit — or the main if you're unsure. Don't touch sparking outlets, downed wires, or anything wet near electricity. Keep people and pets away from the area. We'll give you specific guidance when you call.
Will an emergency call cost more than a scheduled visit?
After-hours and emergency response carries a call-out rate, but we tell you the number before we head out and price the repair in writing before we start — no surprise charges stacked on at the end. If the fix can safely wait for regular hours, we'll tell you that too.
Can you handle storm and utility-side damage?
We repair the service mast, weatherhead, and meter base, and coordinate with the utility for the disconnect and reconnect when the damage is on your side of the line. After major storms we prioritize homes with no safe power. See our new electrical services for service-entrance work.

YesterdayI am thrilled to have found Chosen 1 Electric. Mark and Abel were able to get to me quickly. I have an older home that needed to get up to code. The quote was on the midrange in pricing but I do not regret it. With the quality of work Mark and Abel did I know I won't have to worry about needing a separate contractor to fix anything in the future. That makes up for the cost in my book! I know my home is taken care of for years to come. They were extremely well mannered and true craftsmen in their trade. They were respectful of my home, family, and cleaned up after themselves. Abel was so kind to insist on sweeping their work areas himself, even when I said not to sweat it. I am using them again to update my two prong outlets so it is safer. Mark was amazing and didn't give me a "one size fits all" solution, he took the time to look at my home and get a game plan together better suited to my needs and pocketbook. I am blessed to have found this company and highly recommend them.

4 days agoI’m really grateful for Chosen 1 Electric and the work they did in my home. They installed my new electrical panel and also took care of some things I had been dealing with for over a year, including installing my ceiling fan, replacing my bathroom light, and fixing my kids’ light that wouldn’t turn off with the switch. What I appreciated most was how kind, patient, and honest they were with me. They took the time to explain everything and even took care of a few of those extra repairs at no additional charge. It honestly meant a lot to me to finally have these things fixed and working the way they should. I’m very thankful for their help and would definitely recommend Chosen 1 Electric to anyone needing electrical work. ❤️

1 week agoHighly recommend Chosen 1 Electric! Mark Reyes, the owner and a Master Electrician, was the only electrician I contacted who actually responded and followed through. I even had to cancel our original appointment the same day because of a family emergency, and he was incredibly understanding. When I rescheduled and explained I needed the work sooner, Mark fit me in. He and his assistant Abel didn’t just replace an outlet—they evaluated the existing setup, explained why we were having problems, identified what needed to be brought up to code, and gave us a practical solution so we could safely charge our car and connect our RV. Responsive, knowledgeable, professional, and dependable. Chosen 1 Electric is a newer local business, but Mark’s experience as a Master Electrician shows. I’ll absolutely call them again and highly recommend giving this local business an opportunity.
