Emergency Electrician

Power out, a breaker tripping, a burning smell or a board that is buzzing. We take urgent calls and get you safe again fast.

Some electrical problems can wait until next week. Some cannot. If you can smell burning, if the board is hot or buzzing, or if there is any chance of water getting into the wiring, turn the power off at the main switch and call us.

Turn it off first, then call

If it is safe to reach the switchboard, switch off the main switch or the affected circuit before you do anything else. Do not open the board, do not pull a fitting apart and do not touch anything that is wet. Then call us on 0449 501 616 and tell us what you are seeing.

  • A burning or fishy smell near the board, a switch or a power point
  • Scorch marks, discolouration or heat on a plate or a fitting
  • A safety switch that trips the moment you reset it
  • Sparking, buzzing or crackling from a board, switch or outlet
  • Water into a light fitting, a fan or an outdoor outlet
  • Total loss of power when the neighbours still have theirs

What we do when we arrive

The first job is to make the installation safe. After that we isolate the fault, tell you what caused it and what it will take to fix properly, and do the repair. If the real problem turns out to be the board itself, we will tell you that rather than reset it and leave.

If the whole street is dark

Loss of supply across several homes is a network problem rather than a problem inside your place, and the distributor has to fix it. Check whether the neighbours have power before you call an electrician, because it will save you a callout.

Common questions

My safety switch keeps tripping, what do I do?

Unplug everything on that circuit and reset it once. If it holds, plug items back one at a time to find the culprit. If it trips straight back with nothing plugged in, leave it off and call us, because the fault is in the wiring.

I can smell burning near the switchboard.

Turn the main switch off if you can safely reach it, leave the board closed and call us. Do not wait to see whether the smell goes away.

The power is out at my place but not next door.

That points to something inside your installation, usually a tripped main or a fault on a circuit. Have a look at the board and give us a ring with what you can see.

“Great experience with Josh. He spent a lot of time and effort fixing my driveway sensor. Despite a few hiccups during the repair, he was very patient and came back several times until the issue was fully resolved. Highly recommended!”
