Emergency questions

Is there an after hours electrician in Newcastle?

Yes. After-hours work is on the same number, 0400 232 172. Ring and tell us what is happening.

What counts as an electrical emergency?

No power, a burning smell, sparking, a switchboard that won't reset, or water in lights or power points. If in doubt, ring.

What should I do while I wait for the electrician?

Turn off the main switch if it is safe to, keep everyone clear, and don't keep resetting the switch.

The whole street has no power. Who do I call?

That is a network outage, not your wiring, so call your electricity distributor's faults line. If only your home is out, call us.
