Don't wait on these.
Total or partial power loss
Especially if the neighbours still have power — that usually means the fault is on your side of the meter.
A breaker that won't stay on
A safety switch tripping repeatedly is doing its job. Something is causing it, and it needs finding rather than resetting.
Storm or water damage
Water anywhere near switchboards, wiring or fittings. Stay clear of it and ring before touching anything.
If someone has been shocked, or there's fire or smoke — call 000 first.
Ring Mac afterwards to make the property safe and sort the repair.
While you wait
A few things that help.
If it's safe to do so, these make the callout faster — but never go poking around inside a switchboard.
- ✓ Switch off the circuit at the board if you can do it safely
- ✓ Unplug appliances on the affected circuit
- ✓ Check whether neighbours have power too
- ✓ Keep everyone clear of any water near wiring
What it costs
After-hours work costs more than a booked job — that's true of every electrician. The difference here is you'll be told what you're up for before Mac starts, not when the invoice arrives.
