Know the Signs
What Counts as an Electrical Emergency?
- Burning smells or sparks
A burning smell, sparks, or scorch marks from a power point, switch or the switchboard can signal a fire risk — switch off and call us immediately.
- Exposed or damaged wiring
Frayed, exposed or storm-damaged wiring is a serious shock and fire hazard that needs a licensed electrician, not a temporary fix.
- Repeated tripping or dead circuits
A safety switch that keeps tripping — or won't reset — usually means a real fault on the circuit that should be found and fixed, not ignored.
- Hot or buzzing fittings
Power points or switches that are hot to touch, buzzing or discoloured indicate a dangerous connection behind the wall.
- Water and electricity
Water near your switchboard, wiring or appliances after a storm or leak is an urgent hazard — keep clear and call for help.
- Total loss of power
If your neighbours have power but you don't, the fault is on your side of the meter and needs an electrician to diagnose safely.

What counts as an electrical emergency?
