DO YOU NEED AN EMERGENCY ELECTRICIAN?

When it comes to problems with the power in your business or industrial operation, you may be losing so much money that even a minor problem will count as an emergency! Even then, some problems can wait whereas others require urgent attention.

So, when is the right time to call one of our emergency electricians?

WARNING SIGNS

For many electrical problems, it’s annoying to wait until the morning or Monday to have it fixed. But, considering the extra cost of 24hr electrical services, it’s worth waiting to get the TV working again or fix that flickering light.

Problems that can’t wait include:

Smoking Outlets

If smoke is coming out from anywhere but a fireplace in your home, it’s an emergency. In fact, turn off the circuit breaker and call the fire department to check for signs of fire. Once your house is definitely not burning down, get in touch with our emergency electricians.

Wet Wires

If flooding or a leak has brought wires into contact with water, you should get the problem dealt with ASAP.

No Power, No Blackout

If your home has no power, but the rest of the neighbourhood is unaffected, you should call us immediately.

Frequent Power Interruptions

If your power is cutting in and out all the time, and circuit breakers are regularly flipping, you have serious problems. If this is happening at night or on the weekend, call our afterhours electricians to find the problem in your wiring and fix it before it causes serious trouble.

GET IN TOUCH
