Should I panic about an electrical issue?
Short answer
Usually no — but context matters.
Do NOT panic if:
- The issue is intermittent
- Nothing smells like burning or gas
- No active water damage is spreading
DO act quickly if:
- You smell gas or burning
- There is active flooding
- Power loss affects critical systems
