When only your home or one circuit is out, or a safety switch trips straight away, the fault is usually inside the property, and that is where we come in.
Anything involving smoke, burning smells, sparking, water in fittings or exposed wiring is urgent. Turn off the main switch if it is safe to do so and keep people away.
Newtown's terraces, apartments and King Street shopfronts each bring their own electrical challenges. Ausgrid runs the electricity network in Newtown. Newtown has postcode 2042. We also work in nearby Enmore, Erskineville, Camperdown, Stanmore and St Peters.
In terraces, a fault in one place can affect a whole run of older wiring. We isolate the problem first, then find the cause.
For a shop or office, tell us what equipment is affected when you call, so we can prioritise getting the essential circuits back on safely.
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.
When you call 0421 772 661, we talk through the job, give you a written quote, do the work to AS/NZS 3000 and test it before we leave. The full process is on our emergency electrician page. Nearby suburbs with their own page for this service: Stanmore (1.4 km between suburb centres), Glebe (2.2 km between suburb centres), Petersham (2.3 km between suburb centres).
Emergency repairs are still electrical work under NSW law, so they must be done by a licensed electrician and comply with AS/NZS 3000.

If neighbours are also without power, it is probably a network outage, so call Ausgrid on 13 13 88. If only your home or one circuit is affected, call an electrician.
A safety switch that trips again straight away usually means a faulty appliance or circuit is still connected. Unplug everything on that circuit and try again. If it still trips, call us.
