Prioritize Safety: When to Call 911 First
Your safety comes first. If you see sparks, smell burning or encounter exposed live wires, evacuate and then call 911.
Signs like fire or arcing, or the risk of electric shock, are cause for a 911 call, not a call to an electrician. Wait for the emergency help at a safe distance.
After emergency responders give the all-clear and the situation is safe, call Brightside Electrical in Austin for the repair. We will always put your safety first. Our team is committed to making your electrical service safe and back in operation.
Emergency Electrical Problems We Tackle
It's not hard to tell when there are electrical hazards in your home. Power outages, sparking outlets, and flickering lights are reasons to take action immediately. Burning odors point to hazards that need immediate attention; exposed wiring and breakers that trip repeatedly create serious shock and fire risks that no homeowner should ignore. We're local, and we respond quickly to ensure that your family and home in Austin are safe.
All repairs are made to meet the 2024 International Residential Code, which was adopted by Austin in July 2025 and is overseen by the Development Services Department.

What Happens When Our Electrician Shows Up
When our licensed electrician arrives at your home, we first take the time to introduce ourselves, and walk you through your electrical problem. It is important for us to be thorough during our inspections so we can diagnose the problem.
Before we start any work, we provide a written estimate. We complete repairs and/or upgrades to meet current safety standards, including the 2026 National Electrical Code, which the City of Austin is adopting this September. After the work is finished, we handle permits and inspections, and complete all necessary paperwork. We remain ready to respond across Spicewood, Lakeway and the Hill Country.
