When to call immediately
Four signs it’s an emergency — don’t wait until morning
Sparks, smoke, or scorch marks
Turn off the breaker if you safely can, keep clear, and phone us straight away.
Loss of power to the whole property
If neighbours have power and you don’t, it’s likely your side — Level 2 work we’re certified to handle.
Tripping breakers that won’t reset
Repeated tripping is a safety device doing its job. Don’t force it; let us trace the fault.
While you wait
Do these three things first
- 1
Keep clear of the fault
Don’t touch damaged wiring, wet electrical equipment, or anything giving off smoke.
- 2
Isolate if safe
If you can do it safely, turn off the main switch at the switchboard. If you’re not sure, leave it.
