Emergency Electrician

When it can’t wait

Power gone across the house. A burning smell near the meter box. A switchboard that’s buzzing, or a power point that’s scorched. That’s not a “book it in for next week” job, and you shouldn’t treat it like one.

If something electrical has you worried right now, the first move is simple. If there’s smoke, heat or a burning smell, switch off at the main switch on your board and get everyone clear. Then call us on 07 2142 5656. If we’re free, we’ll talk you through making it safe and get to you as fast as we can.

Around the clock

Our phone is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and the online booking never closes, so you can lock in a time at two in the morning if that’s when the trouble shows up. Ring us in an emergency and you get a real person, not a call centre reading off a script.

We come out fast, often the same day, and after hours for the jobs that can’t wait. And we’ll be straight with you about timing. If a fault means we’re an hour away rather than ten minutes, you’ll hear that when you call, not after you’ve been left waiting.

What we sort in a hurry

• Total or partial power loss that isn’t the whole street
• Burning smells, scorch marks or heat at a power point, switch or the meter box
• A switchboard that’s sparking, buzzing or tripping and won’t reset
• A safety switch that keeps tripping and won’t stay on, which means it’s protecting you from a real fault
• Storm damage after a Brisbane summer hits: water in fittings, or a knock to the mains
• A failed point or fitting that’s left part of the house dead

If the whole street is dark, that’s an Energex network issue, not your wiring. Ring Energex on 13 19 62, they run the poles and wires and they’re the ones who can fix it.

What it costs

No inflated “emergency” fee. We look at the fault, tell you what’s going on, and give you a price before we start the repair. A five-minute fix is priced like one. If it’s a bigger job, you’ll know the number before we touch it.

Do this before we arrive

1. Smoke, heat or a burning smell? Switch off at the main switch on your board and keep everyone away from it.
2. Just a tripped safety switch? Unplug everything on that circuit, then try resetting once. If it won’t hold, leave it off and don’t keep forcing it.
3. Whole street dark? That’s Energex on 13 19 62, not your wiring.
4. Water near the board or fittings after a storm? Don’t touch it. Keep clear and call us.

Not sure how urgent it really is? Ring us and describe what’s happening. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can wait till morning or needs sorting now.
