Who's coming out
A word from Trent, our owner
When you call an emergency line you deserve to know who's turning up. Here's Trent on how our team works and why we never subcontract a job out.

Three things that turn a fault into a disaster
Most serious electrical incidents in homes come down to one of these. All three are avoidable with one phone call.
01
Waiting until morning
A tripping safety switch or a warm powerpoint is a warning, not an inconvenience. Faults that are left overnight are how electrical fires start. Ringing us costs nothing.
02
Having a go yourself
Resetting a breaker over and over, or opening up a switchboard, puts you in front of live conductors. In Queensland this work is licensed for a reason. Please leave it to us.
03
Calling whoever answers first
Plenty of after-hours numbers route to a call centre that dispatches an unknown subcontractor. You get a stranger, a premium bill and no accountability afterwards.
"If it's after hours and you're not sure whether it's serious, ring us anyway. We'd rather talk you through it on the phone than read about it later."

Danger
Sparks, Burning Smells & Shocks

- Sparking or arcing outlets and switches

A real after-hours call
11:30pm, and the house had no power

Same nightPower restored
$0Charged for the advice
A customer rang close to midnight with the whole house dead. We couldn't physically get a vehicle there that night, so instead of taking the booking and leaving them in the dark, we worked through it with them on the phone.
They got the house back up and running that night. In their own Google review: "Absolute legend, even denied follow-up payment the next day. Will be returning for major works in the future."

When it's worth picking up the phone
It's dangerous right now
Sparks, smoke, a burning smell, exposed wiring or someone has had a shock. Isolate the power if you safely can, then call us straight away.
You've lost power
The whole property or just some circuits are dead, or the safety switch won't stay reset. We'll find out whether it's your installation or the network.
Your business is down
Stock at risk, machinery stopped or you can't trade. We prioritise commercial breakdowns to get you operating again.
Not an emergency?
If it can safely wait, we'll book you into a normal appointment at standard rates instead of charging emergency attendance. Just tell us on the phone and we'll be straight with you about which one you need.
