No Power to Your House? We'll Find the Fault and Fix It — Fast
When there's no power to your house but the rest of the street is fine, the fault is on your side of the network — and it won't fix itself. High Demand Electrical's Level 2 accredited emergency electricians respond 24/7 across Sydney to trace the fault and get your power back on safely.

First, Work Out Where the Fault Is
A house with no power usually comes down to one of four things — and the first two you can check yourself in under a minute. If in doubt, call us on 0402 559 777 and we'll talk you through it. For network-wide blackouts, see our power outages page.
- Whole street dark? It's a network outage — report it to Ausgrid (13 13 88) or Endeavour Energy (13 10 03).
- Just your house? Check the switchboard for a tripped safety switch or main switch first.
- Switch trips again straight away? Stop resetting — you have a live electrical fault.
- Nothing tripped but still no power? Your service fuse, consumer mains or connection point has failed — Level 2 work.
What to Do While You Wait for Us
These five steps keep your family safe and protect your appliances until our emergency electrician arrives.
Reset once, and only once
If a breaker or safety switch is off, reset it one time. If it won't hold, leave it off — repeated resetting can turn a small fault into a dangerous one.
Unplug sensitive appliances
TVs, computers and kitchen appliances can be damaged by the surge when supply returns. Unplug them now.
Leave one light switched on
You'll know the moment power is restored — and we'll know instantly whether the repair has worked.
Keep fridges and freezers closed
A closed fridge keeps food safe for about 4 hours, a full freezer up to 48.

Common Reasons a House Loses Power
We diagnose and repair every cause of total power loss — including the network-side faults that standard electricians legally can't touch.
Failed Service Fuse
The fuse at your connection point blows silently — no trip, no warning, just a dead house. Only a Level 2 electrician can replace it. We carry them on every van.
Tripped Main Switch or Safety Switch
A switch that won't stay on is protecting you from a live fault — a faulty appliance, damaged cable or water ingress. We isolate the circuit and repair the cause.
Damaged Consumer Mains
The cables from the street to your meter are your responsibility. When they fail — age, storm damage, excavation — we repair overhead and underground mains 24/7.
Broken Neutral Connection
A failed neutral can kill power partially or completely, and can make taps and appliances tingle. It's genuinely dangerous — we treat it as a priority emergency.
Switchboard or Fuse Board Failure
Ageing boards with ceramic fuses fail without warning. We repair on the spot or upgrade the board to current standards.
Meter or Connection Point Fault
Burnt terminals and failed connections at the meter box sit on the network side — Level 2 territory, and exactly what we're accredited for.

FAQs
Why does my house have no power when the neighbours do?
That's a fault on your side of the connection point: most often a blown service fuse, a tripped safety switch guarding a live fault, damaged consumer mains or a failed neutral. Some of these legally require a Level 2 electrician — which we are. Call 0402 559 777 and we'll diagnose it 24/7.
How fast can you get my power back on?
We treat total loss of power as a priority emergency, 24 hours a day. In most parts of Sydney we're on site fast — often within the hour — and because our vans carry service fuses, breakers and mains parts, most repairs are completed on the first visit.
How much does it cost to fix a house with no power?
It depends on the fault — a service fuse is very different to damaged mains. You'll get a clear, upfront quote before any work starts, and site inspections for Level 2 work are completely free.
