Is it an emergency?
Burning smell or sparking
Turn off the main switch if it is safe to. Keep everyone clear and call us straight away.
Switchboard won't reset
A switch that trips straight back off is cutting a real fault. Leave it off and ring us.
Water near electrics
A leak into lights or power points is dangerous. Turn off the power at the board and call.
No power right now?
Tell us what is going on. We ring you back, usually the same day.

Emergency questions
Is there an after hours electrician in Newcastle?
Yes, and it is the same number at any hour: 0400 232 172. It rings through to us and a person answers, not a machine. Ring and tell us what is happening, and we will tell you whether it can wait until morning or whether we come out.
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.
