In short
Call an emergency electrician now if there is a burning smell, sparks, smoke, a hot switch or power point, water near electrics, or no power that you cannot restore by resetting a tripped switch once. A single dead power point or light, with everything else working normally, can usually wait for a normal booking.
When it cannot wait, Ambient Electrical is a 24/7 emergency electrician in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs.
Call now
- A burning smell, sparks, smoke or scorch marks
- A power point, switch or the switchboard that is hot, buzzing or crackling
- Water near power points, lights or the switchboard
- A shock or tingle from a tap, appliance or fitting
- No power to the house and nothing at the switchboard will reset
- A safety switch that trips instantly and will not stay on, when you need that circuit for medical equipment, a fridge full of food or security
Usually fine until morning
- One power point or one light not working, with everything else normal and no smell or heat
- A safety switch that tripped once, reset and has stayed on
- A single flickering globe
- A quote for new work
If you are not sure which list you are on, call and describe it. Peter would rather talk you through it than have you guess.
Check these first
- Look outside. If the street is dark, it is an Ausgrid network outage: call Ausgrid on 13 13 88.
- At the switchboard, reset a tripped safety switch once.
- If it trips again, unplug appliances on that circuit and try once more.
Why electrical faults need a professional
Most of an electrical installation is hidden in floors, walls and ceilings, which makes the source of a fault hard to find without training and test equipment. One wrongly connected wire can be the difference between a repair and a fatal shock.
The aim is to fix the cause, not just get the lights back on, so the same fault does not bring you back to the phone a week later.
