When is a problem at the meter an emergency?

A burning smell or visible sparking near the meter is an urgent electrical concern.

We treat those signs seriously because they can indicate a fire risk. Keep away from the equipment and don't touch the meter, socket or nearby wires. Tell us what you've observed when you request help.
