When Should I Request An Emergency Electrician Callout?
Many people think that emergency electrical is only for extreme circumstances like full power outages, explosions or exposed and dangerous wiring.
However, even many seemingly minor electrical issues should be looked at immediately, even if just to ensure they are rendered safe until the morning.
Many electrical issues are classified as emergencies and our technicians will be able to repair most problems on-site, or at least make your property safe until the proper materials can be sourced the next day.
It is never advised to just ignore electrical issues until the next day, as it is better to be safe than sorry.
After hours electrical services that O’Brien Electrical Camberwell provides can solve the following issues:
- Partial or complete power failures and outages
- Short circuits
- Fuse issues
- Any smoke or burning smells coming from electrical outlets
- Sparks coming from your outlet(s)
- Damages caused by the weather including storms
- Security system failure
- Emergency re-wiring
- Hot water system failure
What Should I Do In An Electrical Emergency?
The first step is to remain calm. If there is fire or sparking involved, leave the premises immediately and then call Triple 0 for emergency services. Always call them first when there is a risk of fire or a threat to human life.
The next call you should make should be to professional electricians like our team at O’Brien Electrical Camberwell. We will organise an electrician as soon as possible.
Our electrician will arrive as soon as possible with the materials needed ready to carry out the repairs that you need.

How do I know if the issue is an appliance or my electric system?
This is a good question. The last thing you want to do is call out an electrician only to find out the kitchen kettle was the problem.
If you have lost power, unplug the last appliance you plugged in from the wall socket and turn your safety switch back on. If the power is restored, that appliance was the issue.
If that does not help, try unplugging all appliances in the home. If power is restored, one of the appliances is the issue. Plug them back in one at a time until you discover which appliance is faulty and needs to be repaired or replaced.
Can I carry out minor electrical repairs myself?
Under no circumstances should you attempt to do any electrical work unless you are a licensed and qualified electrician.
Not only is it a major safety risk, but it is also against the law. You can void your home insurance, cause further damage to your home and electricity system and you may even cause injury or death.
What should I look for in an emergency electrician?
It is best to do some research before you find yourself in an emergency situation so you have a reliable contact at hand and ready.
Always ensure the electrician is licensed and insured, offers 24/7 services, has good reviews and testimonials and they are available for your specific location.
How long does it take for an emergency electrician to arrive?
This depends on a few factors, like your location, how many emergency callouts the electrician needs to attend and the capacity of the electrician themselves.
O’Brien Electrical Camberwell will always try to reach your property locally in Camberwell within the hour.
There may be delays if there are multiple callouts due to major events like storms.
How much does an emergency electrician cost?
This price will vary depending on the nature of the fault and the time and materials required to fix it.
There will be an after-hours call-out fee plus labor and materials.
Our reception will take as much information from you as possible while dispatching a professional and may be able to provide you with a rough quote in advance.
Do you provide emergency callout services for businesses as well?
Yes. O’Brien Electrical Camberwell is qualified and experienced to handle all commercial electrical jobs, including retail, hospitality, offices, schools, medical facilities, and much more.
