Electrical emergency? Call now.

Sparking, burning smells and total power loss can't wait for a normal booking. We prioritise genuine emergencies and get straight with you on timing and cost before we're on the way.

Call now — 0411 553 089

The call-out fee is confirmed with you on the phone before we're dispatched, and any further cost is quoted once we've assessed the job on site — no surprises on the invoice.

Call us right now if you have:

  • Sparking from a power point, switch or the switchboard
  • A burning smell from any electrical fitting, appliance circuit or the switchboard
  • Total loss of power when neighbouring properties still have power
  • A safety switch (RCD) that won't reset no matter what you turn off
  • Water or moisture visible inside or around the switchboard
  • Exposed or damaged wiring, especially anywhere it could be touched
  • Any electric shock, even a mild one, from touching an appliance, switch or point

If someone has received an electric shock or there is fire, call 000 first. Then call us.

What happens when you call

  1. 1 We ask what's happening so we can genuinely assess how urgent it is, rather than treating every call the same
  2. 2 If it's not safe to wait, we prioritise getting to you and tell you honestly what to expect on timing
  3. 3 If needed and safe to do so over the phone, we'll talk you through making the situation safer until we arrive — for example, which breaker to switch off
  4. 4 On site, we make the immediate hazard safe first, then explain what caused it and what full repair involves

Emergency call-outs — common questions

What actually counts as an electrical emergency versus something that can wait?

Sparking, burning smells, shocks, exposed wiring, water in a switchboard, or total power loss are genuine emergencies. A single power point not working or a light that's stopped working can usually wait for a standard booking, unless there's a specific safety concern — if you're not sure, call and we'll tell you honestly.

Is emergency call-out more expensive than a standard booking?

Yes, an after-hours or urgent call-out fee applies, and we'll tell you what that is on the phone before you commit to us coming out, so you're not caught out by the invoice.
