If you discover a serious electrical fault, your first priority is ensuring everyone's safety. Keep all people and pets away from the affected area, especially if there's visible damage, unusual sounds, burning smells, or sparks. If it's safe to access your main switchboard, turn off the main switch to isolate power. Never attempt to repair network-level electrical components yourself, as this is illegal and extremely dangerous. If there's an active fire or someone has been injured, contact emergency services immediately. Once you've secured the area, call our emergency Level 2 electricians who can safely assess and repair the fault in compliance with network provider requirements.

Coverage for emergency electrical repairs varies depending on your individual insurance policy and the cause of the damage. Most comprehensive home insurance policies will cover repairs resulting from insured events such as storms, lightning strikes, fires, or flooding. However, damage caused by lack of maintenance, gradual deterioration, or pre-existing faults may not be covered. It's advisable to review your policy document or contact your insurer directly to understand your specific coverage. We can provide detailed reports, photographs, and invoices that document the emergency work performed, which you can submit to support any insurance claims you need to make.

Regular electricians are not authorised to work on the electrical infrastructure that connects your property to the street power supply. This network-level work requires specific qualifications, training, and accreditation that only Level 2 electricians possess. Level 2 electricians have authority from network providers like Ausgrid to disconnect and reconnect properties, work on service lines, replace service fuses, repair points of attachment, and handle underground consumer mains. If a standard electrician attempts this work, it's illegal and potentially dangerous. When you experience an emergency involving your connection to the electricity network, you must contact a certified Level 2 electrician like our team to ensure the work is performed safely and compliantly.
