Our 24/7 Emergency Electrical Services
Electrical issues can appear without warning. If you experience any of the problems below, call our team immediately for prompt, professional help.
Power Outages & Electrical Failures
Sudden loss of power can be more than an inconvenience—it can indicate a serious fault. We quickly identify the source of the problem, whether it’s an overloaded circuit, wiring defect or grid connection issue, and restore power safely.
Electrical Hazards: Burning Smells, Sparks or Shocks
If you notice a burning odour, see sparks or experience a mild shock, switch off power at the main board if safe to do so. These signs often point to damaged wiring, faulty outlets or overheating circuits. Our emergency electricians will locate the hazard and perform repairs to prevent fire or injury.
Emergency Switchboard Repairs & Upgrades
Your
switchboard is the heart of your electrical system. When it fails, power loss and safety risks follow. We offer urgent repairs, RCD testing and switchboard upgrades to keep your system compliant and reduce future outages.
Tripping Circuit Breakers or Blown Fuses
Frequent tripping indicates a deeper electrical fault. Our electricians will inspect circuits, isolate the issue and repair or replace components to ensure consistent and safe operation.
Urgent Electrical Fault Finding & Repairs
Electrical faults are not always obvious. Using advanced testing tools, we detect issues within wiring, appliances and circuits before they escalate. We handle everything from
lighting faults and short circuits to full-system diagnostics.
Smoke Alarm Failures & Emergency Replacement
A working smoke alarm is vital to home safety. If your alarm has stopped working or is constantly beeping, we provide emergency inspection and replacement services that meet NSW smoke alarm regulations. We also test all new installations before leaving the site.
Emergency Disconnection & Reconnection Services
In some emergencies, it’s safer to disconnect power immediately. For example, during flooding, major storm damage or electrical fire risk. Our team provides emergency disconnection and reconnection services to keep your property secure and compliant with utility requirements.
After-Hours Electrical Support
Electrical problems rarely wait for business hours. That’s why our after-hours electricians are on call 24/7 for urgent assistance. We respond quickly, provide clear communication and aim to restore power or make your property safe in the shortest possible time.

Emergency Electrician FAQs
What situations count as an electrical emergency?
An electrical emergency is any situation that poses an immediate safety risk or could cause serious damage if left unresolved. Common examples include burning smells, sparking outlets, exposed wiring, power loss affecting essential appliances or water near live electrical points. These issues should only ever be handled by a qualified emergency electrician.
Can I fix an electrical problem myself before help arrives?
No. Electrical work should only be performed by a licensed electrician under Australian law. Attempting DIY repairs can cause injury, fire or void your insurance. If it’s safe, turn off power at the main
switchboard and wait for a qualified emergency electrician to arrive.
How can I prevent electrical emergencies at home or work?
Regular maintenance is key. Have your switchboard, wiring and safety switches tested every few years. Replace damaged cords, avoid overloading power points and ensure smoke alarms are working correctly. Preventative inspections by a licensed electrician can identify potential faults before they become dangerous.
