FAQ

Emergency Electrician Questions

Straight answers on callouts, safety, fault finding and pricing, from the licensed contractor doing the work.

What counts as an electrical emergency?

If something is sparking, smoking, smells like burning, or has given someone a shock, treat it as an emergency and call us straight away. Complete power outages, exposed or damaged cables, repeatedly tripping breakers, and hot or discoloured power points all fall into the same category, because each one can put your family and property at real risk.

What should I do before the electrician arrives?

Turn off the power at the main switch or the affected circuit if you can reach the switchboard safely, then stay clear of anything sparking, smoking or wet. Do not touch damaged cables or attempt a repair yourself, and keep people and pets away from the area until a licensed electrician has made it safe.

How fast can you get to me?

We respond fast and aim to be on-site as quickly as possible, with rapid callouts by appointment, subject to availability. When you call our emergency line, tell us what is happening and your location, and a licensed electrician is dispatched as soon as availability allows.

Do you cover my area on the Sunshine Coast?

Yes, if you are within about 40km of Caloundra. We respond to electrical emergencies across the southern Sunshine Coast, including Caloundra and its suburbs, Maroochydore, Buderim, Nambour and Caboolture. Tell us your address when you call and we will confirm we can get to you.

Will I get a price before any work starts?

Yes. We assess the fault and give you a fixed, upfront price before any work begins, so there are no hidden fees and no surprises. You decide whether to go ahead once you know the cost.

Can you find the cause of a fault you cannot see?

Yes, that is exactly what fault finding is. We trace intermittent tripping, dead circuits, nuisance breakers and hidden wiring problems back to the source, then explain what we found and quote the fix before we carry it out, all to Australian standards.

My power keeps tripping. Is it dangerous to keep resetting the switch?

A breaker or safety switch that keeps tripping is doing its job, and repeatedly resetting it can be dangerous because it is protecting you from a fault. Stop resetting it and give us a call so we can find out why it is tripping rather than just forcing the power back on.

We had storm or flood damage near the coast. Can you help?

Yes. Storm and flood damage is one of the most common emergencies we attend, and living near the coast on the Sunshine Coast means salt air, moisture and severe weather take a toll on switchboards, cabling and outdoor fittings. We make the property safe first, then assess what needs repairing or replacing and give you an upfront price.
