Electrical Emergencies We Attend To
Not sure if your situation counts as an emergency? If it feels dangerous, it is. We attend a wide range of urgent electrical situations across Sydney homes and businesses including:
- Total power outages — loss of power to your entire property with no clear cause
- Partial power loss — circuits, rooms or appliances that have suddenly stopped working
- Burning smells or visible sparks — from switchboards, outlets or appliances
- Tripping switchboard or safety switch — switches that won’t reset or keep tripping repeatedly
- Exposed or damaged wiring — from storm damage, pests, renovations or accidents
- Electrical hot spots — power points, switches or cables that are warm or discoloured
- Flooding or water damage near electrical systems — an immediately life-threatening combination
- Electrical shocks — if anyone has received a shock from an outlet, appliance or fixture
- Storm and lightning damage — surge damage to wiring, switchboards and appliances
- Loss of power to critical equipment — medical devices, refrigeration, security systems
If you’re experiencing any of the above, stop what you’re doing and call 0450 509 691 now.
What Happens When You Call
We’ve made the process as simple as possible — because the last thing you need in an emergency is a complicated phone system or a long wait on hold:
- Call 0450 509 691 — a real person answers, any time of day or night
- We ask a few quick questions to understand what you’re dealing with and advise on immediate safety steps
- A licensed electrician is dispatched immediately to your location
- We aim to be on your doorstep within 60 minutes across Greater Sydney
- Our vans are fully stocked so most electrical emergencies are resolved on the spot
No waiting until business hours. No vague ETAs. No subcontractors who don’t know your job.
What To Do While You Wait
While you wait for your emergency electrician to arrive, your safety is the priority:
- Don’t touch exposed wires under any circumstances — even if the power appears to be off
- Switch off the main power at the switchboard if you can do so safely — particularly if you smell burning or see sparks
- Keep children and pets away from the affected area
- Don’t use water near any electrical panels, outlets or damaged wiring
- Unplug appliances in the affected area if it’s safe to reach them
- If you see smoke, smell burning or suspect a fire — leave the building and call 000 first, then us
- Don’t reset a tripping safety switch repeatedly — if it keeps tripping there’s a reason, and forcing it back on can cause serious damage or injury
Emergency Callout Pricing
You deserve to know what you’re paying before the work begins — even in an emergency. Tayar Electrical charges a transparent after-hours callout rate covering travel and the first assessment of your situation. From there all work is quoted clearly before we proceed:
- A clear after-hours callout rate — no hidden fees, no inflated emergency markups
- Upfront pricing before any work begins
- Card payment accepted on site
- Fully itemised invoice after every job
We will never take advantage of someone in a stressful situation. Our reputation in Sydney is built on fair dealing — and that doesn’t change at 2am.

Emergency Electrician FAQs
We aim to be on site within 60 minutes across most of Greater Sydney. From our base in Guildford we can reach Western Sydney suburbs in 20–30 minutes.

If you can smell burning, see sparks or smoke, or suspect the fault involves your main switchboard — leave the building and call 000 before calling us. For less severe situations such as a single tripping circuit or a power outage without other symptoms, staying in the home is generally safe. If you’re unsure, call us and we’ll advise you based on what you describe.
