Electrical problems don't keep business hours — and neither do we. Licensed emergency electricians serving Monett and all of Southwest Missouri, day or night.
When your power goes out at 2 a.m., a breaker starts smoking, or a storm takes down your service mast, waiting until Monday isn't an option. Post Electric provides round-the-clock emergency electrical response for homes, farms, and businesses throughout Southwest Missouri. Our licensed electricians arrive with the tools and parts to diagnose the fault, make the system safe, and get your power restored — not just slap a temporary patch on it.
We're based in Monett, which means we're local, not a dispatch center three hours away routing you to whoever's closest. You'll talk to someone who knows the area, knows the utilities, and can tell you honestly whether this is something we need to come out for tonight or something that can safely wait.
Whatever failed, we've most likely seen it before. Our emergency calls typically fall into a handful of categories:
Half the house dark while the rest works usually points to a lost leg of service, a failed main breaker, or a loose neutral — problems that can damage appliances and start fires if left alone. We isolate the fault and restore service safely.
Loose connections, corroded bus bars, and failing breakers generate heat long before they generate flames. We thermally inspect the panel, replace the damaged components, and verify every termination is torqued to spec.
Southwest Missouri storms tear off weatherheads, snap service masts, and drive water into meter bases. We make emergency repairs, coordinate with your utility for reconnection, and handle the code-compliant permanent fix.
Any electrical equipment that has been submerged or rained on needs to be de-energized and evaluated before it's used again. We assess panels, outlets, and circuits after water intrusion and replace what can't be safely dried out.
Downtime costs money. We handle three-phase service faults, motor control failures, blown fuses on equipment feeders, grain bin and livestock facility power, and refrigeration circuit failures — the outages that can't wait for a scheduled appointment.
If your standby generator won't start or the transfer switch won't pick up the load, we troubleshoot the controls, wiring, and switching gear so you're covered before the next outage.
Emergency response covers Monett, Aurora, Mount Vernon, Cassville, Pierce City, Verona, Springfield, Ozark, Republic, Carthage, Joplin, Neosho, and the surrounding communities. Not sure if you're in range? Call — we'll tell you straight away.
Don't wait until morning and don't try to troubleshoot it yourself. Get everyone away from the problem and call us — we answer nights, weekends, and holidays.
A few simple steps can keep a bad situation from getting worse. If anything is actively burning or you smell smoke, get everyone out and call 911 first.
Switch off the breaker feeding the problem circuit, or the main breaker if the whole panel is involved. Never open a panel that is hot, wet, buzzing, or smoking — just leave it and call.
Assume every fallen wire is live. Keep at least 30 feet back, keep kids and animals inside, and call your utility and 911. Never drive over a downed line.
Don't wade into standing water in a basement or crawlspace that may be energized, and don't try to dry out or restart flooded equipment. Wait for us to de-energize it properly.
A breaker that trips repeatedly is doing its job — something downstream is faulted. Resetting it over and over can overheat the panel. Leave it off and let us find the cause.
If power is flickering or partially out, unplug computers, TVs, and appliances. Voltage swings from a lost neutral can destroy electronics in seconds.
Tell us what happened, what you smell or see, which circuits are affected, and whether you've shut anything off. It helps us bring the right parts on the first trip.
One call, a straight answer, and a real fix — not a runaround.
Any hour, any day. We'll walk you through making the situation safe and give you an honest arrival window before we hang up.
Our licensed electrician isolates the fault, de-energizes what's dangerous, and explains what happened and what it will take to fix it.
We repair on the spot wherever possible, restore power, and schedule any permanent code-compliant work — backed by our 1-year workmanship warranty.
Burning smells, sparks, and dead panels only get worse — and more expensive — the longer they sit. One call gets a licensed electrician headed your way.
