If someone has had a shock or there is a fire, call 000 first. If the whole street is dark, it is likely a network outage: report it to Ausgrid on 13 13 88.
Balmain's older homes and terraces often need a little more care. Balmain has postcode 2041. Balmain is in the Inner West Council area, and Ausgrid runs the local electricity network. We also work in nearby Balmain East, Birchgrove, Rozelle and Lilyfield.
In terraces, a fault in one place can affect a whole run of older wiring. We isolate the problem first, then find the cause.
In older houses that have been extended over the years, a tripping circuit can cover more rooms than you would expect. Labelling the board helps us find the fault quickly.
Often a tripped safety switch or a faulty circuit.
Usually means a fault is still connected.
Turn off the power at the main switch if safe and call us.
