Common Emergency Electrical Situations

Switchboard Failure

A tripping switchboard, blown fuses, or a board that won't reset is one of the most common after-hours callouts we receive. Left unaddressed, a failing switchboard can knock out power to your entire home or create a fire risk. 

Our emergency electricians in Melbourne respond immediately to diagnose the fault on the spot and carry out switchboard repair or a temporary fix to restore power safely.

Power Outages

If your power goes out and it's not a street-wide issue with your network provider, the fault is likely inside your home: a tripped circuit, faulty wiring, or an overloaded circuit. Our team carries out power outage diagnostics to identify the root cause and restore your lights, heating, cooling, and power points as quickly as possible. 

Rapid assistance by our after-hours electrician Melbourne for situations where lights, heating, cooling, or power points are not working.

Safety Hazards

Burning smells, discolouration around power points, flickering lights, or sparks are never something to wait on. These are warning signs of a serious fault that can escalate quickly.
Prompt action on potential dangers such as burning smells, smoke, or heat coming from power points. Our emergency electrician in Melbourne treats these as the highest priority callouts.

Data & Communications Failures

Power isn't the only thing that can go down in an emergency. Quick resolution for data-related issues including network outages, damaged data cabling, and communications faults affecting your home or business.

Storm & Weather Damage

Melbourne storms can cause significant electrical damage, from blown fuses and tripped safety switches to water ingress in switchboards and damaged outdoor wiring.
If you've had a storm come through and your power is behaving strangely, call our emergency electricians in Melbourne before attempting to use any affected circuits.

Safety Switch Tripping Repeatedly

A safety switch that keeps tripping usually means there's a fault on the circuit. It's doing its job, but the underlying problem needs finding. Our electricians test each circuit systematically to locate and fix the fault rather than just resetting the switch and hoping for the best.

    What Our Customers Say

    Fantastic service received from O'Shea Electrical yet again! Prompt call out, reasonable fees and friendly team. Thanks again to Jarett and all the team at O'Sheas. Sonia
    Shannon was one of the nicest most pleasant and helpful tradesmen I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. He was absolutely punctual, neatly dress and very helpful. I will definitely call you again, should the need arise (and I won’t even mention Russell Crowe!!)
    Shannon did a terrific job very thoughtful – made sure that he co-ordinated turning the water off with the likely needs of the children. Very thorough in ensuring that other lines were not cut off by the repair process. Able to be directed to explore whether extra hidden lines were involved in the leak. I really appreciate his manner and thorough approach.
