24/7 Emergency Electrician in Auckland

An electrical emergency is any fault that is unsafe or leaves you without essential power. That includes a burning or hot-plastic smell, smoke, sparks, a hot or scorched power point or switch, exposed or damaged wiring, a switchboard that keeps tripping and will not reset, water reaching your electrics, or a total power loss you cannot explain. Anything that could cause a fire or a shock should be treated as urgent. If you are not sure, phone us on 09 390 9884 and we will help you work out how serious it is.

First, keep everyone safe and away from the problem. If it is safe to reach, switch off the affected circuit, or the main switch, at your switchboard to cut the power. Do not touch anything sparking, smoking or hot, and do not use water on an electrical fire. If there is a fire that is spreading, or anyone is hurt, call 111 first. Once things are safe, phone us on 09 390 9884 and we will talk you through what to do until we arrive.

We aim to get a Registered Master Electrician to you as quickly as we can, and because we are based on the Hibiscus Coast we are usually not far away from Coast and North Shore callouts. When you phone us on 09 390 9884, tell us exactly what is happening and where you are, and we will give you a realistic idea of how soon we can be there. In the meantime we will help you make the situation safe over the phone.

If your neighbours have lost power too, it is likely a network outage and you should check your lines company's outage page, as they will need to restore it. If only your property is affected, the fault is on your side and that is where we come in. A common cause is a tripped switchboard, so try resetting it once. If it will not reset, keeps tripping, or you smell burning, stop and call us on 09 390 9884.

Emergency and after-hours work is priced differently from a booked daytime job, which is normal for callouts outside business hours, but our approach does not change: we are upfront about it. When you call, we will be clear about the callout before we head out, so there are no hidden surprises. You still get fair pricing and quality work from a Registered Master Electrician. When it comes to safety, getting the fault made safe quickly is worth far more than the wait until Monday.

It can be. A switchboard tripping once and resetting cleanly is often a one-off. But if it trips repeatedly, will not reset, or trips together with a burning smell, warmth or scorching, treat it as urgent and stop resetting it, because the tripping is protecting you from a real fault. Leave it off and call us on 09 390 9884. We will find the cause, whether it is a faulty appliance, damaged wiring or an overloaded circuit, and fix it properly.

Yes. We respond to commercial electrical emergencies as well as home ones across Auckland, the Hibiscus Coast and North Shore, 24/7. Power loss, a tripping board, failed emergency lighting or a fault shutting down your equipment all cost a business money by the hour, so we get to you as fast as we can and get you running again.
