Burning smell, sparking wiring, power out, safety switch won't reset? Call Tim direct - available around the clock for genuine electrical emergencies across Yamba and the Clarence Valley.
Electrical faults don't follow business hours. A burning smell at 10pm, a safety switch that won't reset after a storm, or power out across half the house - these are situations where waiting until Monday is not a reasonable option.
Electrical faults escalate quickly. These are the situations that can't wait until morning.
A plastic or burning smell from a power point, switch, or the switchboard means insulation is failing or a connection is arcing. Turn off the circuit and call.
If the safety switch trips again as soon as you reset it, there is an active fault in the circuit. Leave it off and get it diagnosed - don't keep forcing it on.
Visible sparks from an outlet, switch, or junction - or lights that flicker and then go out entirely - indicate a serious connection fault.
Brown or black marks around a power point or switch plate means there has already been a heat event. The wiring behind it needs inspecting immediately.
Partial power loss without an obvious tripped circuit breaker can indicate a fault in the main switch, meter, or incoming supply - call us or Essential Energy.
Water in the switchboard, lightning strike near the property, or flooding that has reached electrical fittings - do not restore power yourself. Call us first.

For every emergency job the priority is the same: make it safe, then find and fix the fault.
Phone Tim on 0418 632 253. Describe what's happening. We'll tell you if there's anything to do before we arrive - usually just turning off the affected circuit.
We come to you. Response time depends on location and time of day - we'll give you an ETA on the call.
Isolate the fault, protect the property, and confirm the rest of the system is safe before any repair work starts.
Find the fault, explain what caused it, repair it, and test. If parts are needed that aren't on the van, we'll make it safe and return to complete it.
Emergency callouts often reveal underlying issues. We can address them in the same visit or book a follow-up.
Emergency faults in older homes often point to degraded wiring throughout. We can assess and quote a rewire while on site.
View ServiceA damaged or overloaded board is a common finding after an emergency. We can quote an upgrade and schedule it immediately after making safe.
View ServiceAn electrical fault that caused a burning smell is a reminder to check smoke alarm compliance. We can install or upgrade alarms in the same visit.
