Benton emergency electrical service
Lightning strikes near Cypress Lake and storm-damaged service drops along Highway 3 are the most common after-hours calls we run in Benton. We arrive with stocked trucks, restore safe power as quickly as possible, and provide written documentation for your insurance carrier when the loss is storm-related. We also coordinate with SWEPCO when the problem is on the utility side rather than yours.
Non-storm emergencies — hot-plastic smells, sparking outlets, a breaker that refuses to reset, half-house power loss (a classic lost-neutral symptom that can destroy electronics in minutes) — get the same priority. Cut the main and call 318-688-2788. We answer 24/7.

What to do right now
- Sparking outlet or switch: Don't touch it. Turn off that circuit's breaker, unplug nearby devices, and call.
- Burning smell at the panel: If it's safe to reach, switch off the main breaker. Leave the house if you see smoke or flames and call 911 first.
- Storm damage, meter base or service mast: Stay away from downed or sagging lines. Call SWEPCO for the utility side and us for your side.
- Half the house lost power: Often a failed neutral that can damage electronics. Turn off the main, unplug sensitive equipment, and call.
