When you may need 24 hour call out electrician

Symptoms and situations worth having checked

Water near electrical equipment?

Do not touch wet equipment; isolate it from a dry position if that can be done safely.

Burning smell, heat or buzzing?

Keep clear and switch off the supply only if the board can be reached safely.

Only your property has lost power?

A protective device or internal circuit may need assessment after a neighbourhood outage is ruled out.

What the work can include

  • Explain repair or replacement options
  • Identify affected rooms and circuits
  • Check the board and protective devices
  • Isolate visibly damaged or wet sections
  • Assess heat, arcing and cable damage

How the service is handled

A clear path from assessment to completion

  1. Make the scene safe

    Immediate hazards and safe isolation come first.

  2. Separate outage from fault

    Supply conditions are checked before internal circuits.

  3. Narrow down the circuit

    Affected sections are isolated methodically.

  4. Plan the repair

    Findings determine the appropriate next work.
