Is the power off at the breaker, and is it safe right now?

If you smell burning or see sparks, kill the breaker for that circuit (or the main if you're not sure which one) and tell the electrician what happened.

Has a breaker tripped, or are you fully without power?

A single tripped breaker usually points to a circuit issue. Whole-house outage may be an incoming-supply or panel problem — useful info for the pro.

How old is your electrical panel?

If your panel is 25+ years old or aluminium-wiring era, mention it. Some repairs require a panel upgrade first.

Did anything happen right before the issue started?

A storm, water leak, or new appliance install often triggers electrical faults. Context narrows down the diagnosis.

Are there pets or kids you need the pro to know about?

Open panels and exposed wiring are dangerous. Tell the electrician so they can plan workspace around little hands and curious noses.
