Frequently Asked Questions

  • When should I call an emergency electrician?

    Call an emergency electrician if you notice smoke, sparks, burning smells from switches or power points, sudden loss of power, or exposed wiring. Other urgent situations include water near electrical fittings, flickering lights throughout the home, or anything that seems unsafe or abnormal. If it’s after hours and you’re unsure, it’s better to call and be safe. A licensed emergency electrician can assess whether it’s an immediate risk or something that can wait for regular hours.

  • Is emergency electrical work more expensive?

    Yes, emergency electrical services usually cost more than standard daytime jobs. The higher fee reflects the after-hours availability, immediate response and rapid resolution of potentially dangerous issues. However, the added cost is often well worth it when safety or major disruptions are involved. Many electricians offer transparent pricing or a fixed call-out fee for emergency jobs, so you’re not left guessing about the bill.

  • Can I get temporary power if the issue is serious?

    Yes, in many cases a temporary solution can be set up to restore essential lighting or appliance power until a full repair is carried out. This might involve isolating a faulty circuit, rewiring a damaged section, or setting up a safe temporary supply. This helps reduce disruption to your home or business while giving time to source parts or schedule a larger job during daylight hours.
