What Counts as an Electrical Emergency?
Canterbury-Bankstown LGA was declared during the July 2022 NSW floods. Lakemba’s dense residential streets and older properties carry real risk during and after severe weather. A January 2025 Ausgrid storm event impacted 140,000 customers across Sydney. Follow these steps if you are dealing with an electrical emergency.
Emergency Safety Steps to Follow
Not every situation needs 000 straight away, but these simple steps will help keep everyone safe until a licensed electrician arrives.
Turn Off Power Safely
Stay at least 8 metres away from any fallen or sagging powerlines — treat them as live. Ausgrid confirms falling branches cause around two-thirds of storm-related faults, and Lakemba’s mature tree canopy on residential streets is directly exposed.
Keep Clear of Hazards
Switch off power at the main switch if it is safe to reach. In Lakemba’s older properties, do not attempt to access or reset a switchboard that smells of burning, has visible scorch marks, or feels warm.
Don’t Reset Repeatedly
Do not reset a safety switch that trips repeatedly after rain or a storm. In older pre-1970 homes common to Lakemba, moisture ingress into wall wiring and conduit is a genuine fire risk that needs professional inspection.
Call 000 in Danger
If there is smoke, fire, or immediate danger, call Triple Zero (000). Report fallen powerlines to Ausgrid on 13 13 88. For flood emergencies, call NSW SES on 132 500.

Why some electrical emergencies need a Level 2 electrician
Not every electrical emergency can be fixed by a standard electrician. If the fault involves your consumer mains, service fuses, metering equipment, overhead or underground supply lines, or a private power pole, you need a licensed Level 2 ASP.
High Demand Electrical holds Level 2 ASP accreditation, meaning we can legally work on the infrastructure between the Ausgrid network and your Lakemba property.

Testimonials
"Chris was the professional, punctual and his services are exceptional. Chris re-wired the entire property, chased the electrical work in the bathroom and kitchen areas, left a clean and tidy environment and his open communication and dialogue was a welcomed experience.
When he quoted an arrival time, he was there. He talked me through what he was doing, and provided feedback/suggestions on how to tackle any issues. I felt part of the process, as opposed to being another Customer.
