Emergency Help
Emergency electrician FAQs
- What counts as an electrical emergency?
- Situations that require immediate attention: complete power outage in your home, burning smell from outlets or switchboard, sparking power points, exposed wires, electrical shock, or any situation where there's a risk of fire or injury.
- How much does an emergency electrician cost in Australia?
- Emergency electrician callout fees typically range from $180–$500 for the first hour, depending on the city, time of day, and complexity. After-hours and weekend rates are usually 1.5–2x standard rates. Always confirm pricing before work begins.
- Should I turn off my power if I smell burning?
- Yes. If you smell burning or see smoke from an electrical outlet or switchboard, turn off the main switch at your switchboard immediately. Do not touch any damaged outlets. If there is active fire or smoke, evacuate and call 000.
- Can I do my own electrical work in Australia?
- No. In all Australian states and territories, electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician. DIY electrical work is illegal and extremely dangerous. The only exception is changing a light bulb or plug-in appliances.
- What should I do during a power outage?
- First, check if it's just your property or the whole street. Check your switchboard — if a safety switch or circuit breaker has tripped, try resetting it. If power is out across the area, contact your electricity distributor. If it's only your home and the switchboard looks normal, call an electrician.
