24/7 Callouts.

Total power loss to a tenancy, a safety switch that trips every time you reset it, a hot or humming switchboard, a burning smell from a power point, or exposed wiring behind a damaged skirting — these all need a same-day or after-hours call.

If a fridge stops or one downlight is out, that can usually wait for a standard weekday booking. Where we draw the line is anything involving heat, smell or repeated tripping, because that's the pattern that precedes a fire or a shock.

Call us and we'll ask a few quick questions — is it the whole tenancy or the whole floor, is there a smell of burning, has the safety switch tripped once or several times. That tells us whether it's likely a tenancy-side fault or something in the building's common property.

We'll also ask whether the building needs a lift booking, a loading dock slot or a security sign-in, and whether the building manager needs to be looped in for meter room access — sorting that before we arrive saves real time once we're on site.

In older CBD stock we regularly find ageing common-property switchboards that were never upgraded to modern RCBO protection, sitting alongside newer tenancy fit-outs that draw far more load than the original supply was designed for.

In newer towers the fault is often a specific circuit — a kitchen appliance circuit or a shared services board — rather than the whole supply, which is why isolating the actual circuit safely, rather than just resetting the main switch, is the right first step.
