Whether it’s the middle of the night, early on a weekend, or right in the middle of your workday, we’ll be there. No delays. No runaround.

What Counts as an Electrical Emergency?

Some common emergencies include total power loss, sparking power points, burning smells, exposed wires, flickering lights across multiple rooms, or a safety switch that won’t reset. These issues can be signs of overloaded circuits, faulty appliances, or more serious problems hiding behind your walls.

Storms and water damage also create serious electrical risks. Especially if water has come into contact with live circuits. If you’re dealing with flooding, wet fittings, or water near switches, it’s vital to stay clear and call us immediately.

We’ve also responded to homes where electrical faults have affected essential systems like fridges, ovens, medical devices, and hot water. If something’s not right and it’s affecting your safety, comfort, or ability to live normally in your home, call us. We’ll talk you through what to do while we’re on our way.

What to Do Before We Arrive

If you’re waiting on an emergency electrician, your safety comes first. Don’t touch exposed wires or wet electrical equipment. If safe to do so, turn off the power at the main switch, especially if you notice any burning smells or smoke. If there’s a fire risk, evacuate the area and call emergency services first.

Otherwise, keep a clear path to the affected area so we can work quickly when we arrive. And don’t worry if it’s late or you’re flustered. We’ll walk you through everything calmly and without judgment. We’re here to help, not make things harder.
