24/7 Emergency Electrician in Toorak
Toorak's larger homes are often set up with multiple sub-boards feeding different parts of the property — main house, garage, guest wing, garden lighting — so the first real job in an emergency is working out which board is actually affected before anything else.
Three-phase supply is common here too, and losing a single phase produces a distinctive pattern: part of the house or certain appliances go dead while others keep running normally, which understandably confuses homeowners who assume the whole supply has failed.
Basement and cellar spaces bring their own equipment — wine storage, home theatres, plant rooms — often on dedicated circuits that aren't always obvious from the switchboard labelling. And because these are heritage properties with original finishes, we work carefully, avoiding unnecessary disruption to plasterwork, joinery and period fittings while we trace a fault.

What counts as an emergency in a multi-board property
If one wing or area of the house loses power while the rest works fine, that's usually a sub-board or single-phase issue rather than a full property emergency, though it still needs prompt attention, particularly if basement equipment or wine storage is affected.
A hot or humming board, sparking anywhere, exposed wiring, or total loss of supply to the whole property are unambiguous emergencies. So is losing hot water or heating in occupied areas, which we treat as urgent regardless of the rest of the property.
How we work through a multi-board, three-phase property
We answer in about 5 minutes and ask which areas are affected, since that helps narrow down whether it's a single sub-board, a lost phase, or something at the main switchboard before we even arrive.
On site, we identify the affected board first, test each phase where three-phase supply is involved, and work methodically rather than opening up walls or fittings unnecessarily. Access via Grange Road and around Toorak Village is generally straightforward, and we're mindful of keeping disruption to a minimum in occupied, high-value homes.
Faults we typically find in Toorak's larger properties
Losing one phase of a three-phase supply is one of the more common calls, usually traced to a failed connection at the main switchboard or, occasionally, a distributor-side fault that needs to be reported and coordinated separately.
We also regularly find individual sub-boards that have aged differently to the rest of the property, particularly in guest wings or garages added or renovated at different times, along with basement circuits feeding wine storage or plant equipment that weren't clearly labelled.
- Lost phase on three-phase supply affecting part of the property only
- Ageing sub-boards in guest wings, garages or basements
- Unlabelled circuits feeding wine storage or plant equipment
- Faults at the main switchboard rather than a full supply failure
- Heritage wiring needing careful, low-disruption tracing

What Toorak customers say
"Three-phase board upgrade in an older Toorak home before the EV charger went in. Quoted fixed, done in a day, and nothing left to tidy up."
"Half the ground floor lost power on a Saturday. They answered straight away and had the fault traced to a dead junction box within the hour."
Emergency Electrician in Toorak: common questions
Why has only part of our house lost power?+
In properties with three-phase supply, losing one phase takes out only the circuits connected to it while the rest of the house keeps running normally, which can look confusing. It's usually a connection fault at the main switchboard, and we test each phase to confirm before deciding on repairs.
Can you work discreetly without disturbing our heritage finishes?+
Yes, we're used to working carefully in period homes — tracing faults methodically rather than opening up plasterwork or joinery unnecessarily, and being mindful of finishes as we access switchboards and wiring. We'll always explain what access is genuinely needed before doing anything.
Our wine cellar equipment has lost power — is that urgent?+
Yes, temperature-sensitive storage is worth treating as urgent given what's at stake. Call us and mention the specific equipment affected; we'll prioritise finding whether it's an isolated circuit fault or connected to a wider sub-board issue.
What should we do before your electrician arrives?+
If there's fire, smoke or anyone has been shocked, call 000 first, then call us on 0405 592 496. Otherwise avoid resetting switches repeatedly, keep away from any affected boards, and try to note which specific areas or equipment have lost power to help us diagnose faster.
