Emergency Electrician Melbourne FAQs

Emergency electricians provide clients with emergency assistance when the client cannot use power or is facing any sort of threat or danger.

Electrical emergencies include:

  • Electrical fires
  • Power trips
  • Burning smells
  • Hot outlets
  • Safety switch tripping
  • Exposed wires

Comparatively, non-emergency tasks are those that could be scheduled at any other time of day or week, such as:

  • LED downlight installation
  • Antenna installation
  • CCTV installation
  • General electrical checks

They are usually tasks a customer has thought about and consciously makes a decision to book an electrician to perform these sorts of home improvement jobs or fixes.

Luckily, Briggs offer services in both emergencies and non-emergencies! That’s why we’re the best choice for an electrician who you want to call your regular.

We can book an appointment for any planned electrical works, and can also come to you at a moment’s notice, when you need us most.

Yes. We offer 24-hour emergency electrical services, including nights, weekends, and public holidays. Electrical hazards can occur at any time and should not be left unattended.

If there is any sign of burning smells, sparks, exposed wiring, water near electrical components, or complete power loss, it is not safe to wait. These issues can escalate quickly and should be addressed immediately.

Response times depend on location and demand, but we prioritise emergency call-outs and aim to attend as quickly as possible. In many cases, an electrician can be dispatched within hours, including nights and weekends.

You should call an emergency electrician if there is an immediate risk to safety or loss of power. This includes burning smells, sparks, exposed wiring, repeated safety switch tripping, storm damage, or a power outage affecting only your property. If there is any risk of fire or electric shock, the issue should be treated as urgent.

In most cases, emergency electricians aim to make the situation safe and complete repairs immediately. If major replacement work is required, temporary safety measures may be put in place until permanent repairs can be scheduled.

1. Electrical shocks

Any contact with exposed live electricity may result in a shock, burns, and can even be fatal. In short, never try to fix or investigate an electrical appliance on our own. The risk is simply not worth it.

2. Short circuits

Short circuits can not only cause damage to your electrical system, but your appliances, too. A short circuit produces more heat which can lead to burnt power sockets, damaged plugs, and electrical fires.

3. Electrical fires

Electrical fires have many different causes, however in many cases, the cause can be attributed to faulty, broken, exposed, or otherwise damaged wiring.

This can be the result of disintegrating coatings or pests like rats eating away at wires.

Additionally, cheap or counterfeit products can also lead to electrical fires.

Coverage for emergency electrical repairs depends on your individual insurance policy. Most policies only cover sudden and accidental damage, such as storm or power surge-related faults, and usually exclude wear and tear or pre-existing issues. Work must be completed by a licensed electrician, and documentation should be kept for insurance claims.

Do you hear a constant buzzing or humming coming from one of your power sockets? The issue might seem small, but that humming is sending you a clear message that something is not quite right.

A buzzing outlet is usually a sign that there is a fault within your system, whether that is with the wiring that powers that sockets, a circuit breaker, or in any other location within your home’s electrical system.

If you hear buzzing from your socket or your switchboard, call an emergency electrician ASAP to get the issue investigated and resolved.

If you’re experiencing a power outage, follow these steps to stay safe and minimise disruption:

  • Check if it’s just your home – If your house is the only one without power, call an emergency electrician immediately, as it could be a fault with your electrical system.
  • Keep your fridge and freezer closed – This will help prevent food from spoiling during the outage.
  • Use candles safely – Keep them away from children, flammable objects, and never leave them unattended. If possible, use a torch instead.
  • Keep a torch and spare batteries handy – This ensures you have light when needed. Use this downtime to relax or engage in a quiet activity.
  • Do not investigate or attempt repairs yourself – Electrical faults can be dangerous. Always contact a licensed professional to assess the issue safely.

For fast assistance, our emergency electricians are available 24/7 to restore your power safely and efficiently.
