What to Do Before We Arrive

If something doesn’t feel right and it’s affecting your safety, comfort or ability to get on with things at home, give us a call. Our emergency electricians will walk you through what to do while we’re on the way.

Don’t touch exposed wires or any wet electrical equipment. If it’s safe, switch the power off at the main switch, especially if you can smell burning or see smoke. If there’s any risk of fire, get everyone out and call emergency services first.

If you can, try to keep a clear path to the affected area so we can work quickly when we arrive.

Frequently Asked Questions

We charge a small labour fee when we attend your property. This covers our time and travel costs without locking you into work you don’t need.

We’ll discuss the fee with you over the phone before we head out. We don’t like surprising our clients with unexpected costs.

If we inspect the issue and find that no electrical work is needed, we’ll tell you honestly. No unnecessary repairs, no made-up problems and no pressure.

Emergency callouts outside regular business hours usually attract a higher rate due to the urgency and immediate response required. You’ll always receive a clear cost overview before work begins.
If safe, turn off the main power at the switchboard and keep everyone away from the affected area. Avoid touching wires, wet power points, or anything that appears burnt or damaged.

Response times vary, but local electricians in the Eastern Suburbs typically arrive within 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your exact location and the severity of the situation.
