If there is fire, smoke, sparking equipment, electric shock or immediate danger, keep clear and call Triple Zero (000). Do not wait for this site, a web form or a contractor callback. Follow the emergency operator's instructions and do not touch a person who is still in contact with electricity.
For an urgent electrical fault that is not an immediate danger, call and explain what happened. Ask the electrical contractor about availability, attendance, timing, scope and price.
When an urgent electrician call may be appropriate
Sudden partial power loss, repeated tripping, storm-affected equipment or a burning smell that has stopped may still need prompt assessment when no fire or immediate threat remains. Keep damaged equipment unused and describe the problem from a safe position. Do not remove covers, touch exposed parts or keep resetting protection to see whether it holds.
If the whole house goes dark
Check whether your neighbours have lost power too. Energex suggests that check first and, if the outage is widespread, the Energex Outage Finder. If the neighbours have power and your home does not, or a safety switch will not stay on, call about the fault. Say which switch dropped if the board is labelled, but do not open it to find out.
Sending an enquiry does not mean a contractor has accepted the job. Until someone confirms they are attending, keep people away from any damaged equipment and leave a tripped switch off.
What to say when you call
Where and what
Give the suburb and say whether the whole property or one room has lost power. Describe smoke, heat, noise, smell, water or visible damage without approaching it.
What happened first
Mention a storm, appliance use or safety-switch trip that occurred immediately before the fault. Ordinary observations are enough; do not recreate the event.
Who can approve work
For a rental or managed premises, identify the access contact and the person authorised to approve investigation or repair if they are different.
Keep urgent repair and future upgrades separate
The first useful outcome is a clear finding and a safe next step. If testing leads to a proposal for switchboard replacement, rewiring or another substantial change, ask how it relates to the original fault and whether any part can be considered separately. A written scope helps you decide without treating every improvement as emergency work.
The contractor who accepts the job confirms attendance, price and the work it can undertake. Check that contractor's Queensland electrical licence and keep the applicable completion certificate with the property records after work is finished.
Emergency electrical questions
Should I call 000 or an emergency electrician?
Call Triple Zero for fire, smoke, electric shock, sparking equipment or another immediate threat to people or property. An urgent electrician enquiry is for an electrical fault after immediate danger has been ruled out or emergency services have made the situation safe.
How is urgent attendance confirmed?
Call and explain the fault and suburb. Ask the electrical contractor about availability, attendance, timing, scope and price.
What details help with an urgent electrical call?
Give the address or suburb, the rooms affected, what you noticed from a safe position and whether a storm, water, an appliance or a safety-switch trip came immediately before the problem. Do not touch exposed equipment or repeat the event to provide more detail.
Should I keep resetting a safety switch that trips?
Repeated tripping needs fault assessment. Do not bypass protection or repeatedly reset it to keep the power on. If there is smoke, heat, sparking or immediate danger, move away and use emergency services rather than waiting for a contractor enquiry.
Who confirms the repair price for urgent work?
The licensed electrical contractor accepting the job confirms its charges and proposed scope. Ask for the fault finding and any larger upgrade recommendation to be identified separately, then retain the applicable electrical completion record after the work.
