Emergency Electrician in Idaho Falls: 24/7 & After-Hours Electrical Repair

Electrical Emergency? Call (208) 206-7819 Now

When the power goes out, a panel starts sparking, or you smell something burning, you need a licensed electrician who answers the phone. Sunlight Electric is a local emergency electrician serving Idaho Falls, Ammon, Rexburg, Pocatello, and Eastern Idaho, plus Jackson Hole and Star Valley in Wyoming. We answer after-hours, overnight, weekend, and holiday emergency calls, 7 days a week. Call (208) 206-7819 and talk to an electrician about what is happening.

24/7 & After-Hours Emergency Electrician Service

Our regular office hours are 7 AM to 9 PM, Monday through Sunday. Electrical emergencies don't keep office hours, so we take emergency calls 24/7, including nights, weekends, Sundays, and holidays. Before any work starts, we explain what we found, what it will take to make it safe, and what it will cost. You get upfront pricing and clear communication, with no surprises.

Do This Right Now (Before We Arrive)

1. Fire, smoke, or sparks you can't control? Call 911 first. Get everyone out of the building, then call us once you are safe.
2. Downed power line or the whole neighborhood is dark? Stay at least 30 feet away from any downed line and call your utility (Idaho Falls Power, Rocky Mountain Power, or Lower Valley Energy). Outages on the utility's lines are theirs to fix.
3. Water near outlets, panels, or wiring? Do not touch anything wet. If you can reach your main breaker safely from a dry spot, shut it off.
4. Breaker keeps tripping or won't reset? Stop resetting it. A breaker that trips again and again is protecting you from a fault.
5. Then call Sunlight Electric at (208) 206-7819. Tell us what you see, hear, or smell, and we'll tell you what to do next.
