Immediate danger?

Make the area safe first

If there is fire, smoke, active sparking or an immediate risk to people, move away from the danger and call 000. Switch off power only if you can do so safely.

  • Do not touch exposed wiring, wet electrical equipment or a damaged switchboard.
  • Keep other people away from the affected area.
  • For urgent faults without immediate danger, call us and describe what you can see, hear or smell.

Common urgent faults

Electrical problems we can assess

These symptoms can have different causes. A licensed electrician can identify the fault and explain the safest practical next step.

!

Power loss or partial outage

When your property loses power but neighbouring properties still have supply, the fault may be within your installation.

↻

Repeated circuit tripping

A breaker or safety switch that will not stay on can indicate an appliance, wiring or circuit fault that needs testing.

~

Burning smell, heat or buzzing

Unusual heat, smells or noises from outlets, fittings or a switchboard should not be ignored.

✦

Sparking or damaged fittings

Cracked outlets, exposed components and visible arcing can create shock or fire risks.

☂

Storm or water-related faults

Water near electrical equipment needs careful isolation and testing before circuits are used again.
