24/7 Emergency Electrician Sydney | Patra Electrical Services

When to Call an Emergency Electrician

Not every electrical issue is an emergency, but some situations require immediate professional attention. If you are experiencing any of the following, do not attempt to fix the problem yourself. Turn off the power at the main switch if it is safe to do so, and call us straight away.

Complete power outage - No power to your entire property when neighbouring homes still have supply
Safety switch won't reset - A tripped RCD that keeps tripping when you try to reset it indicates a fault on the circuit
Sparking or smoking outlets - Visible sparks, smoke, or a burning smell from any power outlet or switch
Exposed or damaged wiring - Storm damage, construction damage, or any situation where live wires are accessible
Buzzing or crackling from the switchboard - Unusual sounds from your electrical panel can indicate arcing or loose connections
Electrical shock - If anyone receives an electric shock from an appliance or fixture, call emergency services first (000), then call us
Fallen power line on your property - Stay clear, call your network operator, then call us for private pole and line assessment
Water near live electrical equipment - Flooding, burst pipes, or leaks near switchboards, outlets, or wiring

Common Emergency Jobs

Electrical Emergencies We Handle

Power Outages

If your home or business has lost power while your neighbours still have supply, the fault is likely on your property. We trace and repair mains faults, tripped safety switches, failed circuit breakers, and damaged consumer mains quickly.

Faulty Wiring and Short Circuits

Old, damaged, or rodent-chewed wiring can cause short circuits, tripped breakers, and fire hazards. We use thermal imaging and circuit testing to locate the fault and carry out repairs or replacement wiring as needed.

Switchboard Failures

A failing switchboard can cause intermittent power loss, overheating, or complete shutdown. We repair and replace faulty circuit breakers, safety switches, and bus bars, and can perform a full switchboard upgrade if the board is beyond repair.

Storm and Water Damage

Storms, flooding, and burst pipes can damage wiring, switchboards, and outdoor electrical infrastructure. We assess the damage, make the area safe, and carry out all necessary repairs to restore power safely.
