Emergency Electrician: Fast Response & Reliable Service

Electrical emergencies can happen anytime — often without warning. Whether it’s a sudden blackout, sparking wires, or a blown switchboard, you need help fast from an experienced and certified electrician who can restore safety and power quickly.

At No.1 Sydney Electrical, we provide 24/7 emergency electrician services across Sydney. Our licensed Level 2 ASPs respond to urgent callouts for both homes and businesses — day or night. If your safety or electrical supply is at risk, we’re ready to help.

When to Call an Emergency Electrician

Not all electrical problems can wait. Some signs you need urgent professional help include:

• Complete or partial power loss in your home or building
• Burning smells or smoke coming from outlets or switchboards
• Sparking wires or exposed live terminals
• Overloaded circuits causing repeated tripping
• Water damage near electrical fittings (after flooding or leaks)
• Blown fuses or breakers that won’t reset
• Defect notices issued by your energy provider

If you're ever unsure whether the issue is urgent — it's safer to call. Our team can assess the risk, advise next steps, and dispatch an emergency technician to your property.

24/7 Emergency Electricians for Sydney Homes & Businesses

We offer fast response electrical services throughout Sydney, including the Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, Northern Beaches, Hills District, South Sydney, and the CBD. Our mobile electricians are fully equipped to handle:

• Switchboard faults and emergency replacements
• Overhead and underground cable faults
• Loss of power or tripped mains
• Burnt-out fuses and short circuits
• Storm damage repairs
• Defective private power poles
• Emergency isolation and repairs to live wires

With our Level 2 ASP accreditation, we’re authorised to work on the electrical network itself — not just your internal wiring — so we can safely disconnect, reconnect, or repair mains supply if needed.

What to Do in an Electrical Emergency

If you’re dealing with an electrical hazard or blackout, take these safety precautions:

1. Stay calm and avoid touching any exposed wires or affected areas.
2. Turn off appliances and lights if safe to do so.
3. Check your switchboard for tripped breakers or signs of damage.
4. Call a licensed emergency electrician for professional assistance.

Never attempt DIY electrical work — it’s illegal, dangerous, and could worsen the situation. Our team arrives quickly, with full diagnostic tools and parts to restore safety as fast as possible.

Common Emergency Scenarios We Handle

Switchboard Meltdowns

Overheating switchboards are one of the most common emergency callouts we receive. These can result from outdated fuse boxes, faulty wiring, or excessive load on older systems. We can isolate the hazard, restore power temporarily, and provide a fast quote for permanent replacement.

Exposed or Live Wires

Whether from rodent damage, renovations, or accidents, live wiring is extremely dangerous. We arrive quickly to isolate the circuit, secure the area, and carry out repairs in accordance with Australian electrical safety standards.

Storm or Flood Damage

Wet weather and flash flooding can cause serious electrical hazards. If water has entered your switchboard or power points, call us before attempting to turn anything back on. We'll safely assess and restore your system.

Energy Provider Defect Notices

If Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy has issued you a defect notice for unsafe connections or wiring, we’re authorised to carry out emergency rectification to avoid disconnection. We’ll also manage compliance paperwork on your behalf.

How Much Do Emergency Electrical Services Cost?

Emergency service pricing depends on the time of day, type of fault, and urgency. We pride ourselves on fair and transparent pricing — no inflated callout fees or upselling. Typical emergency service fees start at $250 + GST for basic faults, with full quotes provided before work begins.
