Electrical Emergencies Can't Wait
A sparking outlet, a burning smell, a total power loss — when something goes wrong with your electrical system, waiting until Monday isn't an option. Bogh Electric responds quickly to urgent electrical problems across Clatsop County, including after-hours calls for true emergencies: call (503) 325-5000 and describe what's happening, and we'll assess the urgency and get an electrician to you as fast as possible.
Common Emergencies We Handle
Sparking or Burning Outlets
Outlets that spark, smoke, or smell like burning plastic are a fire hazard. Turn off the breaker to that area and call us immediately.
Total or Partial Power Loss
Lost power to part or all of your home? If your neighbors have power, the problem is likely in your panel or service. We'll diagnose and restore it.
Flickering or Dimming Lights
Lights that flicker, dim, or buzz often indicate loose connections or overloaded circuits, both potential fire risks that need professional attention.
Breakers That Won't Stay On
A breaker that keeps tripping is telling you something is wrong. Repeated resets can cause arc faults. Let us find and fix the root cause.
Burning Smell from Wiring
If you smell burning plastic or see discoloration around outlets or your panel, turn off the main breaker and call us. This is a potential fire emergency.
Storm Damage
Coastal storms can damage service lines, knock out power, and expose wiring. We respond to storm-related electrical emergencies across the North Coast.
Hot Outlets or Switches
Outlets or switches that are warm or hot to the touch indicate dangerous wiring issues. Stop using that circuit and call for same-day service.
Exposed or Damaged Wiring
Exposed wires from construction, rodent damage, or age are a shock and fire hazard. Keep people and pets away from the area and call us.
Generator Failure During Outage
If your backup generator isn't starting or your transfer switch isn't working during a power outage, we can troubleshoot and repair it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer 24/7 emergency service?
We're available after hours for true electrical emergencies, situations that pose an immediate safety risk like sparking outlets, burning smells, or storm damage. Call (503) 325-5000 and describe what's happening. If it's urgent, we'll get someone out to you.
How fast can you respond to an emergency?
Response time depends on the situation and our current workload, but we prioritize emergencies and work to get to you as quickly as possible. For true safety emergencies, we respond the same day, often within hours.
What qualifies as an electrical emergency?
Anything that poses an immediate risk of fire, shock, or property damage: sparking or burning outlets, burning smells from wiring, exposed live wires, complete power loss, or storm damage to your electrical system. If you're unsure, call us and we'll help you assess the situation.
How much does an emergency service call cost?
Emergency and after-hours calls may carry a higher service fee than scheduled appointments. We'll discuss pricing when you call and always provide an estimate before beginning work. The priority is making your home safe, and we'll be upfront about costs.
What should I do while waiting for the electrician?
If safe to do so: turn off the breaker to the affected area (or the main breaker if you smell burning). Don't touch wet electrical equipment. Stay away from downed lines. Call 911 first if lines are down. Keep people and pets away from exposed wiring.
Do you handle commercial emergencies too?
Yes. We respond to electrical emergencies at homes, businesses, and commercial properties across Clatsop County. If your business has a critical electrical failure, call us.
"Bogh was absolutely fantastic! Not only were they able to fit us in the day I called, they figured out our old beach house wiring so that our bathroom fan and light worked properly and safely. They are definitely on our go to list from now on. Highly recommend!"
