Fast help when the power goes wrong

When you have lost power, can smell burning, see sparks, or your safety switch keeps tripping, you need a licensed emergency electrician in Melbourne fast. We respond quickly, make the situation safe, find what has actually gone wrong, and fix it properly. Electrical faults are not something to wait on or poke at yourself, so the safest move is to call someone who does this every day.

Whatever yours looks like, we handle the full range of electrical emergencies: total or partial loss of power, burning smells, sparking outlets or switches, a safety switch that will not stay on, storm and water damage, and switchboards that are hot to the touch. We come prepared to diagnose the fault on the spot and carry common parts so we can often fix it then and there.

If your safety switch trips repeatedly but there is no immediate danger, see Electrical Fault Finding & Repairs, and if the problem is an old board see Switchboard & Safety Upgrades. We are licensed and insured, rated 5.0 on Google across 600+ reviews, and every job is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee. If you can smell smoke or see flames, call 000 first. Acting fast on an electrical fault is not just about convenience, it is about preventing a small problem turning into a fire or a serious shock.

Office staff were really informative, she also followed up after the booking.
Kirk was great! I had an issue with my AC that he was repairing. He was helpful, efficient and professional.
Every interaction I have had with Melbourne Wide Electrical and Plumbing has far exceeded expectations. I needed an oven and stovetop install and they were able to quickly book in a plumber and an electrician at times that suited me. Everyone from reception to the technicians were accommodating, friendly and easy to deal with. Max (electrical) and Michael (plumbing) were exceptional. On time, friendly and efficient. They explained everything I needed to know about the appliances, they answered my questions clearly and patiently and they very obviously are very skilled in their area. I would 100% call on Melbourne Wide Electrical and Plumbing in the future for any work needed. Thank you for your outstanding work!
I would like to say how fantastic is was to deal with Melbourne wide electrical & plumbing. I had an electrician & plumber come out on the same day to do some work for me and they were fantastic. Excellent work and a great attitude. Thanks Milan & Kirk. Also a thank you to Sam who responded to me straight away with any questions that I had. Highly recommend & will definitely be using them again.

Melbourne Electrician Team

We make it safe, then fix it properly

Once the area is safe, we track down what actually went wrong rather than just resetting a tripped switch and handing the problem back to you. A safety switch trips for a reason, and we find it, whether that is a faulty appliance, damaged wiring, water in a fitting or an overloaded circuit. We carry common parts so many faults can be repaired on the same visit, and we test everything before we leave so you know the problem is genuinely fixed, not just hidden. We also explain what caused the fault and how to avoid it happening again, whether that is replacing a dodgy appliance or upgrading an old circuit.

Fast response when it matters most

In an electrical emergency, time matters, so we prioritise urgent calls and get to you as quickly as we can. The first thing we do on arrival is make the situation safe, isolating power where needed so no one is at risk while we work. We keep you informed about what is happening and what it will take to put it right. You are not left guessing or waiting around wondering whether your home is safe. If you have lost power completely, we also check whether it is your problem or a wider network outage, so you are not paying to fix something on the grid side. We treat your home with care and keep the mess to a minimum, even at 2am.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the time of the call and what the fault turns out to be: after-hours response costs more than a standard booking, and a quick fix is cheaper than a major repair. You get a clear price before any work starts, with no hidden fees, and we tell you on the phone what to expect. Call 1300 635 294 now.
Yes. We take emergency calls day and night, including after hours and weekends, because electrical faults do not keep business hours. Call 1300 635 294 and we will get to you as quickly as we can.
Burning smells, sparks, a hot switchboard, exposed or damaged wiring, total or partial power loss, or a safety switch that keeps tripping are all electrical emergencies. If something feels unsafe, treat it as one and call us. If you can smell smoke or see flames, call 000 first.
If it is safe to do so, switch off the power at the main switch on your board to remove the risk. Keep clear of any sparking, burning or water-affected fittings, and do not try to fix wiring yourself. If you can smell smoke or see flames, get out and call 000.
Often, yes. We come prepared to diagnose the problem on the spot and carry common parts, so many faults are repaired on the first visit. If a fault needs specialist parts or a larger job, we make the area safe and book the repair in quickly.
