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.

01.

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.

02.

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Overloaded circuits, faulty appliances, or outdated wiring can trigger electrical fires.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.

03.

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!

Called late on a Saturday night after losing all electricity. Brian responded immediately and did basic checks over the phone to ensure a call out was needed. He arrived very quickly and was able to quickly diagnose and fix a burning mains wire which was a serious hazard. He was very thorough in doing additional checks and testing afterwards to ensure there was no additional immediate hazards. Would highly recommend for any issues!

We went with 021 Electrical through the community solar scheme for our estate, and they've been excellent from start to finish. Brian put the proposal together and it was clear and properly costed — including the remedial electrical work our house needed before the system could go in, all itemised up front with no surprises later. They handled the SEAI grant side without fuss. Killian was our electrician and he was absolutely brilliant — knew exactly what he was doing, explained everything as he went, and nothing was a bother. The whole crew were incredibly clean and tidy too. You genuinely wouldn't have known they'd been in the house — not a bit of mess left behind. The system was up and running as promised, and they took the time to walk us through the settings so we could make the most of night-rate charging. Would recommend them to anyone considering solar in Cork

Huge thanks to Brian at 021 Electrician. We lost power to our sockets late on a Sunday night when the RCD tripped and seemed totally jammed. I rang the 24 hr emergency number and Brian answered the call straightaway. I explained my issue and he asked for a few photos of the fuse board and patiently talked me through how to safely get the switch back up and test the circuits. He even stayed online until we had everything working perfectly again. It is so rare to find a tradesman that responsive and genuinely helpful late on a weekend. Absolutely top-class service, I highly recommend him to anyone around East Cork.
