Response times vary by location and current service demand. Hunter Electric prioritizes life-safety emergencies and aims to respond as quickly as possible throughout Ventura County. Call (805) 509-8323 to speak with a licensed electrician about your specific emergency.
What should I do while waiting for an emergency electrician?
If safe to do so, turn off power at the main electrical panel. Do not touch electrical equipment if there is water present. Keep family members and pets away from the affected area.
