How Josie handles your hardest calls
Burning smell from the panel
Josie tells the caller to switch off the main if it is safe and call 911 if there is smoke, then pages the on-call electrician with fee agreed.
Half the house lost power
Josie checks whether neighbours have power (utility outage) before treating it as an emergency.
EV charger quote
Booked as an estimate for later in the week.
Your rules decide who gets woken
A starting template for electricians. Move anything between the two lists.
Wake the on-call tech
- Burning smell or smoke from outlets or panel (911 first if there's fire)
- Sparking outlet or panel
- Total power loss not caused by the utility
- Water near electrical
- Exposed live wires
Book for the morning
- One outlet or circuit out
- Lights flickering occasionally
- Install quotes (EV chargers, panels, lighting)
- Inspections
There's a burning smell coming from an outlet in the bedroom.
If you see smoke or flames, leave and call 911. If not, switch off that circuit at the breaker if it's safe. Is there smoke?
No smoke. I turned the breaker off.

Frequently asked questions
Does Josie give safety guidance?
Yes. For burning smells, sparking or water near electrical, Josie gives your safety line first (call 911 for smoke or fire, switch off the breaker if safe) before anything else.
Can Josie tell a utility outage from a problem in the house?
She asks whether neighbours or street lights are out too, and tells the caller to contact the utility when it is a wider outage.
Do I keep my business number?
Yes. Forward your existing number to Josie after hours, when nobody answers, or all day. Customers keep calling the number on your trucks and your Google profile.
