What is Considered an Emergency Electrical Repair?
Not every electrical problem requires immediate emergency repair. Understanding the difference helps you make the right decision and stay safe.
Immediate Emergency – Call a Licensed Electrician Now:
If you’re experiencing any of these situations, you have a genuine electrical emergency requiring immediate professional repair:
Safety hazards like burning smells from electrical sources, visible sparks or arcing from outlets or switches, smoke coming from electrical components, electric shocks from appliances or outlets, exposed or damaged wiring, or outlets and switches that feel hot to touch.
Power failures including complete power loss when your neighbours have electricity, circuit breakers that trip repeatedly and won’t stay reset, or switchboard failures affecting your entire home.
Fire risks such as burning odours you can’t identify, scorched or blackened outlets, crackling or sizzling sounds from walls or electrical components, or any visible arcing inside your switchboard.
Water contact situations where water has reached electrical outlets, switches, or your electrical panel.
Can Wait for Normal Business Hours:
These situations aren’t emergencies: a single light fixture not working, wanting additional power points installed, planned electrical installations or upgrades, or routine electrical safety inspections.
The Quick Decision Framework:
Ask yourself: Is there a safety risk? Is there a fire risk? Could someone get injured? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you need emergency electrical repair.
When it comes to electrical safety, don’t be shocking-ly careless. If you’re unsure whether something is an emergency, a quick call to a licensed electrician can help you assess the situation properly.
Common Emergency Electrical Repairs in Melbourne
Understanding what typically goes wrong helps Melbourne homeowners recognise emergencies when they see them.
Power Outages Affecting Only Your Property
When your neighbours have power but you don’t, this indicates a serious problem with your home’s electrical system. This could be switchboard failure, main cable faults, or severe circuit problems. These require immediate professional diagnosis and emergency electrical repair.
Sparking or Arcing Outlets
Any visible sparks from outlets or switches represent an immediate fire risk. Sparking is usually caused by loose connections, damaged wiring, or moisture in your electrical system. This emergency electrical repair cannot wait.
Tripped Circuit Breakers That Won’t Reset
If you reset a circuit breaker and it immediately trips again, you have an electrical fault that needs professional attention right away. This could indicate overloaded circuits, short circuits, or faulty appliances creating dangerous conditions.
Switchboard Failures
Unusual buzzing or humming sounds from your electrical panel, flickering lights throughout your home, or a burning smell near your switchboard all indicate switchboard problems requiring emergency electrical repair. Old switchboards in Melbourne homes sometimes fail without warning, creating serious safety risks.
Storm Damage
Melbourne weather can be unpredictable and severe. Lightning strikes, power surges from storms, water damage to electrical systems, or wind damage to overhead lines can all create urgent electrical emergencies needing immediate professional repair.
Burning Smells from Electrical Sources
Any burning odour coming from outlets, switches, appliances, or walls indicates overheating wiring and potential electrical fire risk. This requires immediate professional assessment and emergency electrical repair.
Hot Outlets or Switches
Outlets or switches that feel warm or hot to touch indicate dangerous overheating. This could be loose connections, overloaded circuits, or failing components. All represent fire hazards requiring expert electrical repair immediately.
Why You Need a Professional for Emergency Electrical Repair
You might be tempted to attempt a quick fix yourself, but emergency electrical repair is genuinely dangerous work that requires professional expertise.
The Safety Reality
Electrocution is the leading cause of death for professional electricians, and they have years of training and safety equipment. For homeowners without this expertise, the risks are even higher. Electrical work isn’t a DIY project unless you want a truly hair-raising experience.
Victorian Legal Requirements
In Victoria, all electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician. This isn’t just bureaucracy. It’s critical safety regulation. DIY electrical work is illegal, voids your home insurance, and puts you and your family at serious risk.
Registered Master Electrician Makes a Difference
Luno Electrical is a registered master electrician, which is the highest electrical qualification available in Australia. This means additional training beyond standard licensing, demonstrated expertise through years of experience, and higher levels of accountability for quality work.
For emergency electrical repair, you deserve the most qualified professional, not someone learning on your emergency.
Permanent Solutions vs Temporary Patches
Professional emergency electrical repair fixes problems permanently using quality materials and proper techniques. Our lifetime warranty proves we stand behind our work completely. Temporary patches fail, often creating bigger problems and costing more in the long run.
Insurance Protection
Your home insurance requires that electrical work be completed by licensed professionals. DIY electrical work or unlicensed repairs void your insurance coverage and leave you liable for any damage or injury that results.
What to Expect from Emergency Electrical Repair
Understanding the professional emergency electrical repair process helps reduce your stress when dealing with urgent electrical problems.
Initial Assessment
When you call, we’ll ask questions about your electrical emergency to understand the situation and determine urgency. We’ll provide immediate safety advice if needed, like turning off power at the main switch or avoiding certain areas of your home.
On-Site Professional Process
When our registered master electrician arrives, safety is the absolute first priority. We make the situation safe immediately, then conduct thorough diagnosis to identify exactly what’s wrong. You’ll get a clear explanation in understandable terms, not confusing technical jargon. We discuss repair options and provide upfront pricing before starting work.
The Repair
We provide quality permanent repairs using professional-grade materials, not temporary patches that will fail later. Every emergency electrical repair is completed to the highest standards and full compliance with Victorian electrical regulations and Energy Safe Victoria requirements.

Emergency Electrical Repair Cost Considerations
One of the first questions Melbourne homeowners ask is: “How much does emergency electrical repair cost?”
Every Job is Different
The honest answer is that every emergency electrical repair situation is unique. We provide free quotes after assessing your specific problem. There’s no one-size-fits-all pricing because electrical emergencies vary dramatically in complexity and scope.
Factors Affecting Cost
Several things influence emergency electrical repair costs: the problem’s complexity, time required for proper diagnosis and repair, parts and materials needed, difficulty accessing the problem area, and the overall scope of repair work needed for a permanent solution.
Value of Quality Repair
Permanent emergency electrical repair solutions cost less in the long term. Cheap repairs fail and end up costing more when you have to pay again for proper work. Quality materials and professional workmanship matter enormously for lasting results.
