Emergency Electrician Melbourne

Electrical faults don’t announce themselves at convenient times. A tripping safety switch before guests arrive, a total power loss on a weekend morning, a burning smell from the switchboard — these things happen without warning, and when they do, the last thing you want is to be searching for an electrician who might pick up the phone.

Another situation we’re called to regularly: the electrical distributor — CitiPower, Jemena, United Energy or AusNet — has issued a defect notice following a fault with a major part of your electrical installation and disconnected power to the property. Power stays off until a licensed electrician attends, carries out the required repairs, and issues the appropriate compliance documentation.

Most Melbourne households don’t have an electrician on speed dial. When something goes wrong, you’re working through directories and reviews under pressure, hoping whoever turns up knows what they’re doing — and isn’t going to charge you double because they know you’re stuck.

What Happens If You Wait

Electrical faults are not something to manage with a workaround. A switchboard that keeps tripping is telling you something is wrong — ignoring it increases the risk of an electrical fire. Exposed wiring, a burning smell near the meter box, or a safety switch that won’t reset are all signs of a fault that will get worse, not better, on its own.

A distributor defect notice is particularly time-sensitive: power will not be restored until the defect is repaired and certified by a licensed electrician. Every hour matters when a household or business is without power.

In Victoria, electrical fires account for a significant proportion of residential property fires each year. Most are preventable. A fault that costs a few hundred dollars to repair today can cost a great deal more — in property damage, or worse — if it’s left unattended.

A Fault Found, Fixed and Certified

A properly resolved electrical emergency means power is back on, the fault is found and fixed — not just reset — and you have written documentation of what was done and why. Your switchboard is safe, your circuits are protected, and if a defect notice was issued, the distributor has everything they need to restore your connection.

That’s what Luno Electrical delivers: not just a reset, but a resolution.

Emergency Electrical FAQs

How quickly can you get to me?

We aim to get to you as quickly as possible across inner Melbourne. Call (03) 9982 9737 for an accurate ETA based on the nearest available electrician at the time of your call.

What is a distributor defect notice?

When your electricity distributor (CitiPower, Jemena, United Energy or AusNet) identifies a significant fault with your electrical installation, they issue a defect notice and may disconnect power to the property. Power is not restored until a licensed electrician carries out the required repairs and issues the appropriate compliance documentation. Call us as soon as you receive a defect notice — we know the process and can turn this around quickly.

What qualifies as an electrical emergency?

Total power loss, burning smells from outlets or switchboards, sparking or exposed wiring, a safety switch that won't reset, a distributor defect notice, or any situation where you feel unsafe. When in doubt, switch off at the main switch and call us — we'd rather attend unnecessarily than have you at risk.

What our customers say

Andrew and the team installed a Tesla wall charger at my home. They did an outstanding job and went over and above to make sure everything was done professionally and worked properly. Before finding Luno I spoke to many electricians and they often hadn’t done an electric car home charger installation before and didn’t seem to know what was involved. Andrew and the team at Luno quickly put me at ease because it was clear they knew how to install electric car charging. Would highly recommend.

Andrew and Alex were very professional and friendly, they took measures to not leave mess and tidied up after themselves. They were thorough in asking if we wanted switches changed etc to look the best. We love our new fans and bathroom heating light. Thank you
