What causes these electrical emergencies in Melbourne homes?
Most after-hours callouts we attend across Melbourne come back to a handful of causes. Storm surges after a summer thunderstorm can knock out safety switches and, in older homes, take out an ageing switchboard that no longer has RCD protection on every circuit. If your board is a mix of ceramic fuses and old-style breakers, a single surge is often the trigger that finally forces an upgrade.
The next biggest culprit is water, a roof leak dripping into a downlight cavity, a burst flexi hose under a vanity, or moisture creeping into an outdoor power point. Water and electricity together will trip a safety switch every time, and the switch that "won't reset" is usually doing its job protecting you from a live fault somewhere on the circuit.
We also see plenty of overloaded circuits in period homes running modern appliances (induction cooktops, heat pumps, EV chargers, split systems) on wiring designed for a 1970s kitchen, and unsafe DIY additions, extra power points wired into a lighting circuit, downlights installed without transformers, unlicensed switchboard work. Any of these can present as a burning smell, a hot switchboard or a safety switch that keeps tripping. If that's you tonight, don't keep resetting it, call an emergency electrician and let us find the actual fault.
If there is fire, smoke or immediate danger to life, call 000 first.
Get everyone out, don't touch the switchboard, and call emergency services on 000. Once you're safe, call us on 0405 592 496 and we'll be on the way.

Emergency electrical services we cover 24/7 across Melbourne
Our emergency electricians attend the full range of after-hours faults for Melbourne homes and small businesses: total power outages, dead or partially dead switchboards, hot or buzzing meter boxes, safety switches (RCDs) that won't reset, sparking or scorched power points, burnt-out light fittings, tripped oven and hot-water circuits, storm damage, and hard-wired smoke alarms chirping through the night. If you're not sure whether it's an emergency, call us, a two-minute chat usually tells us whether it's safe to wait until morning or needs a sparky on site tonight.
For anything outside the meter box, fallen service lines, a pole down, or no power on the whole street, that's a network fault, not a wiring fault. Stay well clear and call your distributor (CitiPower, Powercor, Jemena, United Energy or AusNet) on 13 17 99, then dial 000 if there's any immediate danger. Once the network side is safe, we can come out and check everything inside the home is undamaged.
We service Melbourne-wide including the inner north (Brunswick, Coburg, Preston, Reservoir, Northcote, Thornbury), inner west (Footscray, Yarraville, Seddon, Kingsville, Williamstown), east (Hawthorn, Camberwell, Balwyn, Kew, Box Hill), bayside (Brighton, Bentleigh, Sandringham, Mentone) and south-east through Malvern, Caulfield, Oakleigh and Clayton. Same licensed A-grade sparky, same fixed price, same $0 callout fee, whichever suburb you're in.
