ONE-OFF JOBS
Emergency electrician in Adelaide. One flat $320 after hours.
You know the price before I leave home. No meter running.
It's 10pm. The power's out. The fridge is full.
You flip the switch back on. It trips again straight away.
Or there's a burning smell near a powerpoint. Or a light is buzzing and hot.
You ring a few numbers. One wants a call-out fee, plus hourly, plus travel. Nobody will say what the total is.
Stay safe while you wait
- If you smell burning or see sparks, turn off the main switch if it's safe to reach.
- Don't touch anything that's wet, hot or damaged.
- If there's fire or someone is hurt, call 000 first.
- For fallen powerlines or a street-wide outage, call SA Power Networks on 13 13 66.
What happens if you leave it
- A burning smell can mean a connection is overheating right now.
- Food spoils, medical equipment stops, the house goes cold.
- Resetting a tripping switch over and over can hide a real fault.

FAQs
What does the $320 cover?
The after-hours call-out: coming to you, finding the fault and making it safe. If more parts or time are needed, you get the price first.
What counts as an emergency?
No power, a burning smell, sparks, a hot powerpoint, or a switch that won't stay on.
Is it my problem or SA Power Networks'?
If your neighbours are out too, it's likely the network. Call 13 13 66. If it's just you, call me.
What areas do you cover after hours?
Adelaide metro, with West Lakes and the western suburbs closest.
