About this service

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.

FAQ

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.

I can’t say enough good things about Mark with Chosen 1 Electric. I called him with an immediate need, and he was at my location within 15 minutes. This wasn’t a typical electrical job, and there were several moving parts that had to be coordinated, but Mark stayed the entire time and helped troubleshoot while we worked to get everything in place. What impressed me most was his willingness to jump in and help with things that weren’t even part of his job. He was incredibly patient, professional, and kind throughout the process. When everything was finally ready for him to do his portion of the work, he had it completed in less than five minutes. It’s rare to find someone who is not only knowledgeable and efficient but also genuinely cares about helping their customers. I will absolutely use Mark and Chosen 1 Electric again in the future, and I will gladly refer any customers, friends, or family who need electrical work done. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
