We provide safe, urgent electrical help across Sacramento on nights, weekends, and unexpected service calls.
Emergency & After-Hours Service
Electrical problems do not wait for a convenient time. When power goes out, breakers keep tripping, outlets smell like they are burning, or part of your home or business suddenly loses electricity, we are ready to help. At High Level Electric, we provide emergency and after-hours electrical service in Sacramento so you can get fast, safe help at night, on weekends, and when urgent issues cannot wait until the next business day.
We are a locally owned electrical company based at 4246 2nd Ave, Sacramento, CA 95817. Our team is licensed, bonded, and insured, and we handle every emergency call with a safety-first mindset. As a California electrical contractor, we follow local and national electrical code requirements on every job. License #1142142.
When to Call for Emergency Electrical Service
Some electrical issues are more than an inconvenience. They can be a fire risk, a shock hazard, or a sign of a larger system problem. If something feels unsafe, it is better to call right away. We help with many urgent electrical problems, including:
- Sudden power loss in part of the home or building
- Main breaker or branch breakers that repeatedly trip
- Burning smells coming from outlets, switches, panels, or wiring
- Sparking outlets, switches, or electrical panels
- Flickering lights tied to a larger circuit issue
- Overheated breakers, panels, or service equipment
- Storm-related electrical damage
- Damaged wiring creating unsafe conditions
- Urgent troubleshooting for commercial electrical problems
- Electrical issues that make it unsafe to stay open, stay productive, or stay comfortable
If you notice smoke, active fire, or a dangerous emergency, call 911 first. Once the immediate danger is handled, we can inspect the electrical system, find the cause, and make the needed repairs.
What We Do During an Emergency Call
Our goal is simple: make the situation safe, find the source of the problem, and fix it the right way. We do not believe in guesswork. We use real troubleshooting experience to identify what failed, what is affected, and what needs to be repaired or replaced.
Depending on the issue, our emergency and after-hours service may include:
- Electrical troubleshooting and diagnostic testing
- Breaker, fuse, outlet, switch, and circuit repair
- Safe shut-down and isolation of hazardous circuits
- Electrical panel assessment and emergency panel repair recommendations
- Wiring repairs for damaged or failing connections
- Replacement of unsafe devices or components
- Temporary safety measures when a full repair must be scheduled in phases
- Coordination of any permitting or inspection needs when required
Some emergencies are straightforward and can be repaired during the same visit. Others may reveal a deeper issue, such as an overloaded panel, failing service equipment, old wiring, or code problems that need a more complete solution. If that happens, we will explain what we found in plain language and give you clear next steps.
Our Process
When you contact High Level Electric for an emergency or after-hours service call, we focus on fast communication and honest guidance. We listen to what is happening, ask the right questions, and schedule service as quickly as possible. Once on site, we inspect the affected area, diagnose the problem, and provide an upfront, transparent estimate before work begins whenever conditions allow. After the repair is complete, we test the system for safe operation and review the result with you.
We also make the process easier by handling required permitting and inspections when a larger repair calls for it. Our customers choose us because we keep things clear, practical, and professional from start to finish.
Why Fast Response Matters
Electrical emergencies can get worse quickly. A loose connection can overheat. A tripping breaker can point to a failing circuit. A panel problem can affect multiple parts of the property. Getting a licensed electrician involved early can help limit damage, reduce downtime, and protect people and property.
For homeowners, quick service can restore peace of mind and help prevent damage to appliances, electronics, lighting, and other connected systems. For commercial properties, emergency electrical repair can help reduce interruptions, protect equipment, and get operations back on track as soon as possible.

Whether you are dealing with an urgent home wiring problem, a failed electrical panel, a business circuit outage, or after-hours troubleshooting that cannot wait, we bring the same level of care and attention to the job.

Safety, Trust, and Clear Pricing
When people call for emergency electrical service, they want answers fast. They also want to know they are dealing with someone they can trust.

We are proud to be licensed, insured, and bonded, with a perfect 5-star rating on Yelp and Google. That reputation matters to us because emergency calls are about more than fixing wires. They are about showing up, communicating clearly, and doing safe work when our customers need us most.
Common Signs You Should Not Ignore
- Lights dimming when appliances turn on
- Outlets or switch plates that feel warm
- Buzzing sounds from outlets, switches, or the panel
- A breaker that will not reset
- Frequent loss of power on the same circuit
- A sudden spike in electrical problems in an older home or building
- Any smell of burning plastic or hot wiring
If you are seeing any of these warning signs, do not wait and hope the issue goes away. Electrical problems usually progress, not improve. Early service can prevent a larger repair later.

Why Sacramento Chooses High Level Electric
Real feedback on fast service, clear pricing, and safe electrical work you can trust.
"I highly recommend High Level Electric and Damell for any electrical work. Damell has completed all of the electrical work on my home, and I have always been impressed with how fair, professional, and reliable he is. He works quickly, does quality work, and is always willing to fix any issues that come up. During my recent kitchen remodel, Damell was able to quickly install the electrical work needed so I could continue using my kitchen and keep the project moving without unnecessary delays. He has consistently gone above and beyond to make sure the job is done right. If you’re looking for an honest, professional, and dependable electrician, I highly recommend High Level Electric!"
"Damell was able to come to my property within an hour. It was a small matter that just required fiddling a bit with the breaker box, that he solved in a few minutes. He took his time explaining the situation and the cause, educating me on the matter so I would know what to look out for next time. Damell is an honest and courteous professional that I would highly recommend."
"Wonderful company, Damell came out to give us a quote and he was able to do the service the same day for such a fair price. Great work and great people!"
"High Level Electric responded to an urgent call to help us and a contractor determine if some old knob and tube wiring in our 100 yr old house was live. They identified which circuits were live and which weren’t. We needed a plan to replace the live circuits in order to continue with a construction project. They identified all the outlets, light, and appliances powered by the old wiring, and developed a clear plan to update it all. They were here for us when we urgently needed help. Damell, their leader, projected professional confidence and dealt with us in a respectful and kind manner."
"It’s always a pleasure working with Damell. He’s a real pro and he can do anything! I highly recommend High Level Electric"
"Nice service nice guy very good deal thanks damell"
"I would give High Level Electric the highest rating possible: knowledge, professionalism, thorough detail, communication, timeliness, and many other character and business integrity traits that are so lacking in the trades today. He is very personal, and takes time to go over options available after inspecting your needs, answering your questions and making sure you understand in layman's terms. He did difficult rewiring in my 1965 cottage of both walls and ceiling, installing new outlets, repairing old outlets and light sockets in my rear and rear porch, bathroom, and kitchen, and installed ceiling lights in my living room and bedroom. Very efficient. Night and day difference! Reasonable price. Call Dammel and crew! Excellence is certainly his trademark. Richard O. Citrus Heights"
"I've used Damell and HLE for electrical work in both of our homes, and I can't recommend them enough. Damell is timely, personable, and incredibly attentive. Having previously witnessed the trauma of a house fire, he truly understood our concerns and handled everything with exceptional care. In our older home, he installed several outlets in key areas to safely support electric bidets, the washing machine, and a wall-mounted TV. He also assessed all of our existing outlets, replacing those that were outdated or unsafe. I really appreciated how transparent he was. He clearly explained what needed to be addressed right away versus what could wait. There was never any pressure or upselling, just honest guidance to help us make the best decisions for our home. When we moved into our newer home, we didn't hesitate to call him again. This time, he installed an outlet in the garage so we could safely run a second refrigerator. Damell's professionalism, integrity, and quality of work have earned our complete trust. We'll definitely continue to use HLE for all of our electrical needs."
"Damell came out to help us with what seemed like a simple light switch box move but he then discovered the original wiring was improper and it was causing intermittent malfunction at the switch. I appreciated his expertise and his calm and patient mannerisms in troubleshooting the issue. I highly recommend High Level Electric!"
"If you need an honest electrician this is your company. They don’t upsell you with stuff you don’t need."
"We had an outdated panel at our home and we called High level electric to help us. They were very prompt and very professional we felt taken care of from start to finish no hassle no late arrival everything went perfect. They gave us the best price out of all of the other quotes we got but what sold us was their professionalism , knowledge and how personable they were. If I could give them 10 stars I would. Highly recommend!!!"
"High Level Electric did an excellent job. Damel was professional, on time, and the quality of work was top-notch. Highly recommend!"
"I needed an electrician to come out and uninstall some equipment before moving out of my rental. Damell answered right away and confirmed he would be able to do it for me, even with short notice. I appreciated his professionalism, and his willingness to come back out if my landlord requested any additional work be done. I definitely recommend High Level Electric!"
"He did all my electrical work took out all the nob and tube and put Romex in excellent job on time cleaned up after himself very professional"
"I had an amazing experience with Damell! Our AC kept tripping the breaker, and he came out right away to troubleshoot the issue. He was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain what was going on in a way we could understand. He worked efficiently, got everything running smoothly, and left everything neat and tidy. It's rare to find someone so reliable and friendly! Highly recommend him for any HVAC or electrical troubleshooting."
"Damell fixed our AC and he was great! I highly recommend his business!"
"He is incredibly professional, shows up on time, communicates clearly, and takes pride in his work. You can tell right away that he’s knowledgeable and truly cares about doing the job right the first time. What stood out most to me was how trustworthy and honest he is—no upselling, no cutting corners, just straightforward and high-quality work. He took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand and made sure I felt confident that I was making the right decision. I’ll definitely be using him again for any future projects!"
"If I could give High Level Electric beyond 5 stars, I would most definitely do so. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY! Damell has been our electrician for 6yrs ano counting and the work is immaculate. The work is very clean, very professionally executed. He's very knowledgeable, respectful towards his clients and their space and will walk you through the process. Even offers multiple solutions depending on what your needs are. He's changed out outlets, installed security cameras throughout my entire home, installed recessed lighting in my living room and provided my main panel with surge protection without any problems. Very reasonably priced and they're willing to work with you as well. I've never had an issue with this company. If you want safe and reliable work High Level Electric is THAT company!"
"We had ongoing electrical issues at our home such as flickering lights, breakers constantly tripping, and lights dimming every time we used appliances like the microwave or air fryer. We called High Level Electric, and Damell quickly diagnosed the problem. They found that multiple circuits were improperly tied together and needed to be separated to properly distribute the electrical load. During their inspection of our main panel, they also discovered corroded aluminum wiring that was affecting performance and safety. We decided to move forward with a full 200 amp panel upgrade, along with circuit separation and installation of a new dedicated electrical oven circuit. High Level Electric handled everything from permits to city inspections and utility coordination, and even got our power restored the same day. The new panel includes FireGuard (AFCI) breakers, and when a few issues came up, they took the time to troubleshoot and fix everything at no additional cost, which really showed their integrity and professionalism. They also had to open up part of the wall, but patched it cleanly and left everything looking great. Now our lights no longer flicker or dim, even when running multiple appliances, and we have plenty of space in our upgraded panel for future additions. If you’re looking for a reliable electrician for a panel upgrade, troubleshooting, or home electrical work, I definitely recommend High Level Electric. We will for sure be calling them back for our upcoming ADU project."
"Damell is an outstanding electrician! Honest and skilled as they come. He gets to the root of your electrical issues and is attentive to your needs throughout the whole process. Can’t recommend him enough!"
"I had TVs mounted by this business. They were quick, efficient and reliable. I had no clue about mounting anything so I had them come and help. They were very knowledgeable about the process, electrical wiring and were very quick. As a bonus they also mounted my PS5 and accessories. If you’re looking for anything electrical don’t hesitate to give them a call. They will help you with any and everything you need."
"Best electrician out here!! I highly recommend high level electric for all your electrical needs! If you’re looking for somebody who is knowledgeable and trustworthy give them a call! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
