Situations in Which You Should Call Your Local Emergency Electrician

Many people do handle DIY electrical jobs in their homes; however, this isn’t something we recommend. If you tackle these jobs, there is always the risk of electrocution or worse; only certified and experienced professionals should handle electrical work. We at Quick Connect Electricals recommend you call for 24 Hour Electricians in Sydney  under the following circumstances:

• Smoking powerpoints– If you notice that any powerpoint is continuously smoking, it isn’t something you should ignore; this can quickly lead to a fire in your home. If you are able to, you should switch off the circuit breaker that’s connected to that particular room.
• Power outage– It’s not a very common occurrence for your home to lose complete power. However, if it happens, you should check with your neighbours to confirm whether they are facing the same issue as well. If not, it may mean you have a serious electrical problem on your hands.
• Exposed wires – This is an extremely dangerous situation and if you have noticed any exposed wiring in your home, turn off the circuit breaker immediately, but don’t try to fix the wiring. Call a Local Electrician in Sydney without delay to attend to the issue. If you accidently turn off the wrong circuit breaker, and touch the wiring, the chances of electrocution are very high.
• Wiring in water – This is something you should never take lightly and it’s a cause for alarm. Ensure that none of your family members approach the area and try to switch off the circuit breakers that you think are connected to that wiring. This kind of a situation could be caused due to a leaky basement, burst plumbing etc. If there is any flooding in your home, that increases the risk of electrocution to a great degree; and it’s important that you evacuate the space and call in an electrician to attend to the problem.

Preventive measures

While these are some of the situations that can be considered to be electrical emergencies, if you are uncertain about or feel unsafe about any electrical fixture or installation in your home, do not delay calling your local electrician right away. When it comes to electrical problems, you should never take any risk. It’s also a good idea to opt for preventive electrical maintenance.

The electricians you hire for this job will come over to your location at pre-decided intervals and inspect all the wiring and installations for signs of potential issues. If they do notice something amiss, you will be informed about it and can quickly get it fixed from them before the problem gets aggravated and poses a risk of fire or electrocution.
