Emergency electrician call-outs in Irvine

What counts as an electrical emergency
A burning smell, scorch marks on a socket, sparks, a buzzing consumer unit, water getting into light fittings or a complete loss of power that isn't a wider power cut all need urgent attention. If someone has had an electric shock, call 999 first, then call us about the fault.

What to do while you wait
If it's safe to reach, switch off the main switch on your consumer unit. Don't touch anything that is sparking, wet or hot, and keep children and pets away. If one circuit has tripped and won't reset, leave it off rather than trying it again and again.

Checking for a wider power cut
If your whole street is dark, the problem is likely with the network rather than your home. You can call 105 to report a power cut to your local network operator. If neighbours still have power and you don't, the fault is probably inside your property.
What to expect from an emergency electrician
When you call, we ask a few quick questions about what you can see, smell and hear, and talk you through making things safe. Once we arrive, the first job is to isolate the faulty circuit or appliance so the rest of the home can have power back where possible.
We then test the circuit to find the cause. Some faults can be repaired on the spot, while others need parts or a follow-up visit. Either way, we explain what we found and what it will cost to put right, and leave the installation safe before we go.

Emergency electrician questions
How quickly can an emergency electrician get to me in Irvine?
We aim to respond the same day, and emergency call-outs are available 24 hours a day. How quickly we arrive depends on where you are and what we're already attending, so we'll give you an honest time when you call and advise you on staying safe in the meantime.
Is there a call-out charge for an emergency electrician in Irvine?
No. There's no call-out charge, even for emergencies outside normal hours. You pay for the work needed to make things safe and fix the fault, and we tell you the price before any repair goes ahead, so there are no surprises once the job is done.
Should I call an electrician or the network operator in Irvine?
If the whole street has lost power, or there's damage to the incoming cable or main fuse outside the meter, call 105 to reach the network operator. If only your property is affected, or you can smell burning or see sparks inside, the fault is on your side and you need an electrician.
Can an emergency repair in Irvine be finished on the same visit?
Often, yes. Many faults, such as a damaged socket or a failed accessory, can be repaired there and then. If the fix needs parts or more time, we make the installation safe, restore power to the unaffected circuits where we can and arrange to come back.
