What to Expect

Round-the-clock response in Riverview for partial power loss, dead circuits, panel failures, overheating breakers, and burning smells. Also covers storm damage to service masts and weather heads, and water-related faults after flooding. The situation is made safe first, with permanent repair scheduled after.

Riverview sits on the Petitcodiac with a lot of mature tree cover along its older streets, and the combination of overhead service drops and falling limbs during ice storms and post-tropical systems produces most of our emergency calls here.

Call us now if you have any of these

Some electrical problems can wait until Monday. These can’t:

  • A burning or fishy smell near the panel, an outlet, or a switch. Overheating plastic has a distinct smell, and it means something is failing right now.
  • A panel that’s warm to the touch, discoloured, scorched, or making a buzzing or crackling sound.
  • A breaker that trips immediately every time you reset it. That’s a fault, and the breaker is doing its job. Do not keep resetting it.
  • Partial power loss, half the house dead while the rest works. This often indicates a lost neutral or a failing service connection, which can damage appliances and is a genuine hazard.
  • Visible damage to your service mast or weather head, especially after a storm.
  • Any water in contact with electrical equipment, after flooding or a burst pipe.

If you’re seeing any of these, call 506-875-5337. If you smell burning and can safely reach your main breaker, shut off power to the affected area first.

Storm calls in Riverview

A large share of Riverview emergency calls follow weather. The older streets have significant mature tree cover, and where the service drop is overhead, a falling limb during an ice storm or a post-tropical system can tear the mast away from the house. The critical thing to understand about that damage is the split in responsibility: NB Power owns the line up to the connection point, but the mast, weather head, and everything from there into your house are the homeowner’s. NB Power will not reconnect until that equipment is repaired, so an electrician is a prerequisite to getting your power back, not a follow-up.

We handle that repair and coordinate the reconnection, which is usually the fastest route back to power after this kind of damage.

Panel failures

Riverview’s concentration of aging original panels means we get more panel-related emergency calls here than the town’s size would suggest. Many homes still run their original 1960s or 70s equipment, and a meaningful share of that is Federal Pioneer Stab-lok, a panel with a documented history of breakers failing to trip when they should.

If a breaker isn’t tripping on a fault, the protective device you’re relying on isn’t working, and the first indication is often heat or a smell rather than an outage. Treat those signs as urgent regardless of the hour.

How we work an emergency call

The first objective is making the situation safe: isolating the fault, killing power to the affected circuits, and removing the immediate hazard. That’s often not the same visit as the permanent repair, and we’ll be straightforward with you about which is which. What we won’t do is push you into a full panel replacement at eleven at night when the situation can be made safe and properly repaired in daylight at a lower cost.
