 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bill and his team at Electrx are passionate about their work and meticulous in everything they do. Choosing Electrx was an easy decision, given the care, passion and time they took to explain the electrical work required to modernise my recently purchased home.

Since completing the work, I’ve had other trades come on site who have independently praised the quality of their workmanship. The team were diligent, professional and hardworking, completing all the electrical works in a single day while ensuring the home was left clean and tidy.

There have also been a couple of minor rectification items, and despite being busy, Bill and his team accommodated me at short notice, which I really appreciated.

I have no hesitation in recommending Electrx to anyone looking for high-quality electrical work, backed by professionalism, attention to detail and workmanship built to stand the test of time.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Electrx have been a pleasure to deal with.  They return phone calls.  They keep me informed.  They arrive on time.
A very professional company who appear to take great pride in their work and reputation. Every staff member I have spoken to has been friendly and helpful.
The electrician (Hoz) notified me when he was on his way and what time he expected to arrive. He was courteous and efficient. I had a few jobs to be done around the house and he completed them with minimal fuss or disruption.
I would not hesitate to use Electrx again and highly recommend them to anyone requiring an electrician.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent experience from the initial consultation through to completion of the work. When I was looking to upgrade from a single-phase to a three-phase supply, I obtained quotes from several companies. One quote exceeded $10,000 just for the truck appointment, with an additional $5,000-$7,000 estimated for the switchboard upgrade.Curtis stood out because his quote was clear, transparent, and well explained. He took the time to walk me through each item so I understood exactly what was involved and what I was paying for which was less than what I had already been quoted for.
On the day of the job, the team arrived on time, completed the work as scheduled, and maintained a high level of professionalism throughout. What impressed me most was their attention to detail, including thoroughly cleaning up after the work was finished. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable, honest, and professional electrical services. Their quality workmanship and excellent customer service made the entire process stress-free.**

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hoz was outstanding in his work, communication & explanation of a few things that i was not aware of. The job was great & as a result Hoz is also arranging someone to contact for a quote to look at changing my switch board over. Your company came highly recommended by a work colleague & I can now see why. Well done and thank you

What to do in an electrical emergency in Melbourne

If you have sparks, smoke, a burning smell or a sudden blackout:

Turn off the main switch at the switchboard if you can reach it safely.
Do not touch exposed wires, damaged power points or anything electrical that is wet.
If there is any sign of fire, get everyone out and call 000 first.

Then call us. We can help fault-find on a phone call and start diagnosing before we arrive.

Emergency electrical problems our Melbourne electricians fix

Total loss of power: when the street has power and your house does not.
Half the house without power: a common western suburbs fault, usually a failed neutral or a tripped circuit on an older board.
Safety switch or circuit breaker that keeps tripping or will not reset.
Burning smell, buzzing or scorch marks at the switchboard or a power point.
Power points or light switches that are hot, cracked or scorched.
Blown fuse box on an old ceramic fuse board.
Flickering or dimming lights across the house, which can point to a supply or connection fault.
Storm, surge and water damage: safety checks and making the installation safe before power is restored.
Urgent repairs to damaged circuits and wiring.
Commercial emergencies: shops, clinics, offices and warehouses that cannot trade without power.
Exit and emergency lighting that has stopped working in a shop, office or warehouse.

We also attend Powercor defect notices where a deadline is close.

While you wait for your emergency electrician

Once you have called us, there are a few things you can do while our emergency electrician is on the way.

Leave the main switch off if you turned it off, and do not keep resetting a safety switch that trips straight away.
Keep children and pets away from the switchboard, the damaged power point or any wet area.
If the area is dry and safe, unplug appliances on the circuit that failed.
Clear the way to the switchboard so our emergency electricians can get straight to it.
Write down what you saw, heard or smelled before the power went off, because it helps with electrical fault finding.
If you smell burning again or see smoke, get everyone out and call 0447 139 493.

After the emergency: electrical safety checks for Melbourne homes

Once power is back and the fault is fixed, we tell you what caused it and whether anything else on the installation is a risk. Old boards without safety switches, overloaded circuits and ageing wiring are the usual culprits, and fixing them is how you avoid the next call-out. No pressure, just a clear picture of what is there.

In Victoria, electrical work on fixed wiring has to be done by a licensed electrician, and the electrician must give you a Certificate of Electrical Safety for it. You can check an electrician’s licence on the Energy Safe Victoria website.

If the emergency electrical repair points to a bigger problem, we can follow up with a switchboard upgrade, an electrical safety check or, where it is needed, house rewiring.

After hours electricians for Melbourne homes and businesses

Our after hours electricians take emergency electrical calls at night and on weekends as well as through the day.

Emergency electricians for Melbourne homes

For homes, the usual electrical emergencies are a house with no power, a safety switch that will not reset, a burning smell at the switchboard, or lights and power points that stopped working after a storm.

Our residential electricians in Melbourne make the electrical installation safe first, then find the fault and quote the repair before any emergency electrical work starts.

If you rent, call your property manager as well, but do not wait for them if there is smoke, sparking or a burning smell.

Emergency electricians for Melbourne businesses

For shops, clinics, offices and warehouses, a power failure usually means you cannot open or trade.

Our commercial electricians in Melbourne find the electrical fault, make the site safe and restore power where it is safe to.

If your business runs on three phase power, tell us when you call, because a fault on one phase can leave some circuits working and others dead.

We also look after exit and emergency lighting, which has to work when the power goes out in a commercial building.

Emergency electrician Melbourne FAQs

Sparks, smoke, burning smells, a board that is hot to touch, or exposed live wiring: yes, call a Melbourne emergency electrician now. One power point not working or a single light out: usually not, and we will book you in at a normal rate.

Usually a failed connection or a tripped circuit on one side of the board, sometimes a supply fault from the street. It needs a licensed electrician to find, and in Melbourne it is one of the most common calls we get.

After-hours and weekend rates can apply. We tell you the rate before we come out, and any repair is quoted before it is done.

Unplug appliances one at a time and try to reset it. If it still trips with everything unplugged, there is a wiring or appliance fault and it needs to be found. Call our Melbourne emergency electricians.
