- Two-prong outlets throughout, or three-prong outlets with no ground path

Electrician FAQ for 47388
What should I do while waiting for an electrician?
For an urgent fault, switch the affected circuit off at the panel and leave it off. If the panel itself is hot, smoking, sparking or wet, do not touch it and keep everyone away from it. Never pull a meter or open a panel, and never pour water on anything electrical.
Is 24/7 emergency service available for 47388?
Emergency requests are taken around the clock. Eastern time applies locally, and after-hours availability depends on the contractor on duty — genuine emergencies such as burning smells, smoke, sparks or water contacting live wiring are prioritised over routine work.
