Many thanks to The Local Electrician team who were all courteous, considerate and competent sparkies. Working in teams of two over 3 consecutive days they solved problems, installed new meters and re-cabled much of our double storey, double brick home in Earlwood. Built in 1939 it provided challenges but the team remained unfazed and got the job done with a smile and pats for our dogs. Special thanks to Dylan, Nick, John and Justin for leading the way. A truely admirable corporate culture and really nice blokes all round. Highly recommended!

My mother had no power throughout half her house last week and was in need of an electrician. She called the local electrician, and Dylan came out and found the fault within minutes, leaving my mother very pleased. They pointed out some safety issues at the switchboard and even asked to call a family member to discuss the findings and walk through some suggested solutions. My mother hasn't been doing too well lately, and I really appreciate that they called me to discuss the options. After the discussion, we came to a conclusion, and the team was out there the next day to rectify the issues. I really appreciate that they called before proceeding with the works. My mother is very happy with the work and will use them from now on. Based on my experience, I will also be enquiring about future work at my house. Much appreciated to the local electrician team!

Frequently Asked Emergency Electrical Questions!
Can You Perform A FREE Electrical Safety Inspection?
The Local Electrician proudly offers a free electrical safety inspection on all of our jobs. Save hundreds of dollars for what other companies charge. This ensures that all our clients have safe and clean electrical systems running 24/7.
What Should I Do While I Wait For An Emergency Electrician?
After calling one of our after-hours electricians, our team will give you clear instructions on what to do while you wait for our arrival. In any case, here are some general tips that you can undertake while you wait for your electrician:
- Isolate yourself and others from the electrical issue
- If safe to do so, turn your power off from your switchboard
- If safe, remove any obstacles that may hinder the electrical repair
- Please note: if an electrical fault brings on a fire – DO NOT throw water on it. Call triple 000 for the Fire Department, use a fire extinguisher if available and vacate your premises immediately.
How Long Will It Take For An Electrician To Arrive In An Emergency?
Because we have 24-hr electricians working around the clock, our average dispatch time is approximately less than 60 minutes. We are confident that we guarantee an on-time electrician, or we work for free! In the meantime, if it’s a severe emergency issue, you can have a look at the SES’s top electrical safety tips while you wait for assistance.
Why Does My Safety Switch Keep Tripping?
If you have a switch that trips too often, then the most common issue is faulty appliances. However, other issues may be nuisance tripping and faulty wiring. Contact The Local Electrician for a same-day electrician to fix your problem.
When Do I Need A Switchboard Upgrade?
The main reasons you need a switchboard upgrade are:
- The switchboard is overcrowded
- Your appliances trip
- Flickering lights
- Outdated fuse
- Burning smell
- Sparks
- Melted or blackened fuses
Contact The Local Electrician for a switchboard upgrade today!
Why Isn’t My Hot Water System Working?
A malfunctioning hot water system is usually caused by a tripped circuit breaker or a faulty thermostat. Regardless of the issue, The Local Electrician can fix it.
Why Are My Lights Flickering?
If your lights are continuously flickering, it may be due to a loose bulb, loose connection, voltage increase or the type of light. If not correctly handled, this could be a minor or a major electrical fault.
What Do I Do With A Beeping Smoke Alarm?
If your smoke alarm is continuously beeping, it may signal that it needs a battery replacement. It’s also possible that it has reached the end of its life span of 8-10 years. If you need an emergency electrician to install a new one, contact The Local Electrician today!
What Is The Difference Between A Fuse Box And Safety Box?

When Should I Call An Emergency Electrician Near Me?
Generally speaking, you should contact an emergency electrician when an urgent power issue threatens your family’s safety. Based on our daily experiences, the most common reasons for contacting an after-hours electrician are as follows:
- Power outage
- Switchboard defect (e.g. buzzing sounds or smoke coming out)
- Blown hot water meter
- Fallen power poles/powerlines
These are just some of the frequent emergency call-outs we regularly help resolve. However, hundreds of other issues can arise, and you should contact an emergency electrician just as much.
