Frequently asked questions
What is considered an electrical emergency?
Electrical emergencies include: complete power outages, burning smells from outlets or switchboards, exposed or damaged wiring, electrical shocks from appliances or fixtures, sparking or smoking outlets, switchboard failures, repeated circuit breaker trips, storm damage to electrical systems, and power issues affecting critical medical equipment. If you're unsure whether your situation is an emergency, it's best to call us – we'd rather advise you over the phone than have you risk your safety.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency call?
For genuine electrical emergencies across the Northern Beaches, we typically arrive within 60-90 minutes of your call, 24/7. During extreme weather events when call volumes are high, we prioritise based on safety risk, with situations involving immediate danger receiving the fastest response. Our emergency electricians are strategically located to ensure rapid response regardless of the time of day or night.
What should I do while waiting for an emergency electrician?
Safety is paramount. First, if it's safe to do so, turn off power at the main switchboard. Keep everyone, especially children, away from the affected area. Unplug any appliances that might be involved. Don't touch damaged electrical equipment or standing water near electrical issues. Have clear access to your electrical panel and keep the area well-lit if possible (using battery-powered lights if necessary). Gather any relevant information about when the problem started or what might have triggered it to help us diagnose the issue more quickly.
Will you complete the repairs during the emergency visit?
In over 90% of emergency callouts, we resolve the issue completely during the initial visit. Our emergency vehicles are stocked with a comprehensive inventory of parts and equipment to handle most situations. For complex issues requiring specialised parts or extensive work, we'll make the situation safe, restore essential power where possible, and schedule a prompt follow-up visit. Our goal is always to provide a permanent solution during the initial callout whenever feasible.
What costs can I expect for an emergency electrical service?
Emergency electrical services include an emergency callout fee plus the cost of labour and materials needed for the repair. After-hours callout fees are higher than standard business hours. We're completely transparent about our emergency rates, providing a clear price before dispatching a technician. Once on site, we diagnose the issue and provide a firm quote for the complete repair before proceeding with any work. We never perform work without your explicit approval of the costs involved.
