Emergency Electrician — McKinney & Collin County
Electrical emergencies don't happen on a schedule. A burning smell from your panel, a complete loss of power, sparking outlets, or a breaker that won't reset — these are situations where waiting until next week isn't an option. Moran Electric provides fast-response emergency electrical service for homes and businesses throughout McKinney, Frisco, Allen, Plano, and all of Collin County.
Every emergency call is handled by a licensed Master Electrician who shows up with the tools, parts, and experience to diagnose and fix the problem right — not just reset a breaker and move on. We give you an honest diagnosis, flat-rate pricing before any work starts, and we don't leave until the issue is resolved safely.
Electrical emergencies we respond to
Burning smell from outlets, switches, or electrical panel
Sparking or arcing at outlets, switches, or the panel
Complete power loss to your home or business
Partial power loss — rooms or circuits with no power
Breaker that won't reset or keeps tripping immediately
Buzzing or humming from the panel or electrical components
Flickering lights throughout the home (not just one fixture)
Outlets or switches that are hot to the touch

What to do before we arrive
If you smell burning or see sparking — turn off the breaker for that circuit or shut off your main breaker if needed, and move away from the area.
Do not attempt to reset a breaker repeatedly if it keeps tripping — this is a sign of a real fault, not a nuisance trip.
If you believe there is an active electrical fire, evacuate and call 911 first, then call us.
For non-fire emergencies like partial power loss or a dead panel, call us directly at 945-237-2820 and we'll walk you through next steps on the phone.

So How Does This Work?
FAQ
I smell burning near my electrical panel — what should I do?
Treat it as an emergency. Shut off the main breaker if you can do so safely, and call us immediately. A burning smell from a panel almost always indicates an overloaded breaker, a failing component, or arcing — all of which are fire hazards. We prioritize same-day response for panel-related safety calls.
My breaker keeps tripping as soon as I reset it — is that dangerous?
Yes. A breaker that trips immediately after being reset is responding to an active fault — a short circuit, ground fault, or overloaded circuit. Do not keep resetting it. Leave it off and call us. Forcing a breaker to stay on when it's trying to protect you can cause a fire.
Do you offer same-day emergency electrical service in McKinney?
Yes — in most cases we can respond the same day, especially for safety-related issues like sparking, burning smells, or complete power loss. Call 945-237-2820 to check availability. The sooner you call, the sooner we can get there.
Can you fix the problem in one visit?
In most cases, yes. We show up stocked with common parts and materials so the majority of emergency repairs are completed the same day. If the repair requires a specialty part or permit, we'll tell you upfront and give you a clear timeline.
Half my house lost power but the main breaker didn't trip — what happened?
This is almost always a failed leg of utility power coming into your panel — one of the two 120V lines has gone down. This is a utility company issue. Call Oncor (or your local provider) first. If power isn't restored or you're not sure, call us and we can help confirm the diagnosis on-site.
