What Qualifies as an Electrical Emergency?
Not every electrical fault requires immediate intervention, but certain issues pose serious risks and must be addressed without delay.
Power Outages
If your property loses power while neighbouring buildings remain unaffected, the problem may involve internal wiring faults, overloaded circuits, or a defective fuse board.
Exposed or Damaged Wiring
Frayed or exposed wires can cause electric shocks and fires. If you notice sparking outlets or burning smells, call a qualified emergency electrician immediately.
Electrical Fires
Overloaded circuits, faulty appliances, or outdated wiring can trigger electrical fires. If you detect smoke or burning odours, switch off the main breaker (if safe to do so) and contact a registered contractor right away.

Prompt, professional and genuinely helpful. I called 021 Electrician late one evening when our power went out unexpectedly. Brian and Dylan arrived within 30 minutes, found the fault straight away and had everything running safely again within 10 minutes. They explained what happened in simple terms and even tidied up before leaving. Couldn’t fault them, brilliant service all around.
I highly recommend 021 Electrician. I first contacted Brian on a bank holiday Sunday night. 021 Electrician provide 24 hour service. I was so lucky I could speak with Brian who kindly reassured me & advised me, which was great peace of mind for me. Both Brian & Dylan called to look after my issue. Two absolute gentlemen, most professional, efficient & skilled. Yesterday, two of their team completed other work. Unfortunately, I did not get their names, but again, most professional, efficient & skilled. The booking system is easy to navigate & Heather is very accommodating & will look after you arranging a time that suits. Absolutely, great professional service, deserves more than five stars.
Had the team in to rewire the fuse board and redo some outside lights and sockets at my parents’ house. They were very professional and well-mannered throughout. The quality of work was excellent, and they took the time to explain everything clearly to my parents before carrying it out. Highly recommended for any electrical work!
