When you're dealing with an electrical emergency in Perth, you need a licensed electrician who can respond fast and get the problem fixed safely, not just diagnosed. Nexus Electrical Co provides emergency electrician services across Perth for situations that can't wait until a normal booking: sparking outlets or switches, total loss of power, a burning smell coming from a wall or switchboard, and exposed or damaged wiring. These aren't jobs to leave overnight or attempt yourself. They're fire and shock risks, and they need a licensed electrician on site.

Every emergency callout is handled by a fully licensed and insured electrician (WA Electrical Contractor Licence EC14149), so the job is diagnosed and fixed correctly the first time, not patched and left as a fire risk waiting to happen again. Being based in Balcatta and servicing the wider Perth metro area, Nexus Electrical Co treats safety critical callouts as a priority, day or night.

If you're searching for an emergency electrician in Perth right now, the two things that matter most are: is this actually an emergency, and can someone get to you fast. Below covers both.

What counts as an electrical emergency:

  • Sparking power points, switches, or appliances
  • Total loss of power to the property
  • A burning smell from a wall, ceiling, or switchboard
  • Exposed, damaged, or chewed wiring
  • A safety switch that won't reset, or keeps tripping repeatedly
  • Visible smoke or scorch marks near electrical fittings

If none of the above apply, it can usually wait for a standard booking, which also saves you the after hours rate.

They were very friendly and listened carefully to what we said. In my place, we had an ongoing issue of water leakage in the shower for so long, however, it is now fixed permanantly. They also showed to me the actual issue and how they fixed it and that was the best part of thier service.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

0
1
When should I call an emergency electrician?

For sparking, total power loss, a burning smell, or exposed and damaged wiring, any situation that poses an immediate safety risk. If it's not urgent, a standard booking will save you the after hours rate.

0
2
Is an emergency electrician callout more expensive in Perth?

Yes. Across Perth, after hours and emergency electrical work typically carries a surcharge over standard daytime rates, reflecting priority response outside business hours. A full price is always confirmed before work starts.

0
3
Do you charge extra for weekend or public holiday callouts?

Every job, including emergency and after-hours callouts, comes with a fixed price agreed before we start, so you'll always know the cost upfront.

0
4
How fast can an emergency electrician get to me in Perth?

We prioritise emergency calls and get moving as fast as we can. When you call, we'll give you a realistic time based on your location and how busy we are at that moment, so you always know what to expect.

0
5
Is a tripped safety switch an emergency?

If it trips once and resets normally, it's usually not urgent. If it won't reset, or keeps tripping repeatedly, that points to a fault that needs a licensed electrician to look at properly.

0
6
Should I turn off my power before the electrician arrives?

If it's safe to do so, yes — switching off power at the main switch can help prevent further damage while you wait. If you're not sure how to do this safely, leave it to us and stay clear of the affected area.

0
7
Do you offer a 24 hour electrician service in Perth?

Emergency callouts are prioritised outside standard business hours for genuine safety critical faults: sparking, power loss, burning smells, or exposed wiring.

0
8
What should I do if I smell burning near my switchboard?

Leave the area immediately, don't touch the switchboard, and call us straight away. If you can safely do so, switch off power at the main switch on your way out.

0
9
Do you provide emergency electrical services for businesses and strata properties?

Yes. We provide emergency electrical callouts for shops, offices and strata properties across Perth. See our Commercial Electrician page for more.

0
10
What should I do if the power's out at my property?

First, check whether it's a Western Power outage rather than a fault at your property — you can check Western Power's outage map. If your neighbours have power and you don't, it's likely a fault on your side, and that's when to call us.
