Emergency Electrician for Petersham.

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.

Petersham has a mix of homes, units and small businesses. Petersham has postcode 2049. Petersham is in the Inner West Council area, and Ausgrid runs the local electricity network. We also work in nearby Lewisham, Stanmore, Leichhardt and Marrickville.

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.

Questions

What should I do first in an electrical emergency?

Matt arrived on time and was very helpful and polite. He and his colleague fixed my bathroom light switch and installed 2x sockets just as I wanted and ensured everywhere was left tidy. Highly recommended and I will be using his services again.

Had some switches and power points replaced, and the service was excellent. The work was completed efficiently and everything was left clean and tidy. Communication was clear throughout, and I was very pleased with the result.
