Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about emergency electrical services? Here are some of the most common questions we receive from Canberra and Queanbeyan homeowners and businesses.
What is considered an electrical emergency?
Electrical emergencies include complete power loss, burning smells, smoke coming from electrical equipment, sparking power points, exposed wiring, electric shocks, damaged switchboards and safety devices that continually trip. If you're unsure, it's best to contact a licensed electrician for advice.
How quickly can an emergency electrician attend?
Response times depend on the nature of the emergency, your location and current workload. We always aim to respond as quickly as possible and will provide an estimated arrival time when you contact our team.
What should I do if I smell burning from my switchboard?
If it is safe to do so, switch off power at the main switch and avoid touching the switchboard. Burning smells can indicate overheating components or damaged wiring and should be assessed by a licensed electrician immediately.
Why does my safety switch keep tripping?
A tripping safety switch may indicate a faulty appliance, damaged wiring, water ingress or an electrical fault within a circuit. Professional fault finding is often required to identify the exact cause.
Can you restore power during a power outage?
If the outage is caused by a fault within your property, we can investigate and often restore power once the issue has been identified and repaired. If the outage is related to the electricity network, your energy provider may need to attend.
Is sparking from a power point dangerous?
Yes. Sparking outlets can indicate loose connections, damaged wiring or faulty electrical components. Continued use may increase the risk of electric shock or fire, so the outlet should be inspected as soon as possible.
Do you provide emergency electrical services in Queanbeyan?
Yes. We provide emergency electrical services throughout Canberra, Queanbeyan and many surrounding suburbs and regional areas.
How much does an emergency electrician cost?
Emergency electrical costs vary depending on the nature of the fault and the repairs required. We provide clear pricing and explain any costs before commencing work wherever possible.
