    Frequently Asked Questions

    FAQs

    Are there any preventive measures I can take to minimise electrical emergencies?

    Yes, you can reduce risks by having regular electrical inspections, not overloading circuits, installing surge protectors, and addressing any unusual electrical signs promptly. 

    How do I know if I need a Level 2 electrician?

    You'll need a Level 2 electrician for tasks involving the electrical supply network, such as service connections/disconnections, dealing with live wires, upgrading meter boxes, or rectifying supply authority defects.

    How quickly can you get to me in an emergency?

    We aim to be on-site within 60 minutes across most of Sydney. Response times vary by location and time of day, but when you call we'll give you an honest ETA immediately — not a 4-hour window. Our team is spread across Sydney so there's usually someone close to you.

    How much does an emergency call-out cost?

    Emergency call-outs are priced based on the job — we don't have a one-size-fits-all fee. What we do promise is that we'll give you a clear quote before any work starts, so there are no surprises on the bill. Call us and we can give you a rough estimate over the phone once we know what you're dealing with.

    Are you available on weekends and public holidays?

    Yes — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Electrical emergencies don't keep business hours and neither do we. Public holidays, Christmas Eve, 3am on a Sunday — if you call, we answer.

    Do you cover my suburb?

    We cover all of Greater Sydney for emergency call-outs. Our service areas include:

    Western Sydney — Penrith, Blacktown, Parramatta, Merrylands, Seven Hills, Quakers Hill, Toongabbie, Westmead, and surrounding suburbs.
    South-West Sydney — Liverpool, Campbelltown, Camden, Bankstown, Fairfield, Cabramatta, Casula, Ingleburn, Moorebank, and surrounding suburbs.
    St George & Canterbury-Bankstown — Hurstville, Kogarah, Campsie, Rockdale, Bexley, Punchbowl, Lakemba, Padstow, and surrounding suburbs.
    Sutherland Shire — Cronulla, Miranda, Caringbah, Sutherland, Engadine, Gymea, Menai, Kirrawee, and surrounding suburbs.

    Not sure if we reach you? Call us on 0402 559 777 and we'll let you know straight away. We cover all four corners of Greater Sydney and can often reach further across NSW — if you're in the state, it's worth a quick call.

    What counts as an electrical emergency?

    If any of the following apply, call us now:

    • complete loss of power to your home or business
    • burning smell or scorch marks near power points or the switchboard
    • sparking or arcing from any electrical fitting
    • flickering lights combined with tripping circuits
    • water entering your switchboard or electrical fittings

    When in doubt, call — it costs nothing to ask.

    What's the difference between a Level 2 electrician and a regular electrician?

    A standard electrician can only work up to your meter box. A Level 2 Accredited Service Provider (ASP) is authorised by the network distributor to work on the infrastructure between the street and your property — including the service line, overhead and underground mains, and the meter. If your power issue involves the connection to the grid, you legally need a Level 2 electrician. A regular sparky simply cannot do this work.

    Can you restore power that's been cut off by the network?

    Yes. As a Level 2 ASP, we're authorised to liaise directly with Ausgrid, Endeavour Energy, and Essential Energy to arrange reconnections. Whether your supply has been disconnected for a defect notice, storm damage, or a network fault, we can manage the whole process from assessment through to reconnection.

    Is it safe to stay in my home during an electrical emergency?

    It depends on the situation. If you can smell burning, see sparking, or suspect water has entered your switchboard, leave the affected area immediately and turn off your main switch if it's safe to do so. Don't attempt to investigate or fix anything yourself. Call us and we'll advise you over the phone on what to do while we're on our way.
