Emergency electrician: questions and answers
Can an emergency visit include making the fault safe?
Yes. The first priority may be to isolate the affected part of the installation. The electrician then explains whether a repair can follow or whether parts and another visit are needed.
What should I mention first when I call?
Start with the address and the immediate problem: loss of power, a damaged fitting, heat or a burning smell. Describe what you can observe safely; do not open electrical equipment to investigate.
What affects the quotation for emergency electrician?
Attendance time, the extent of investigation, parts and any return visit affect the quotation. A quotation should confirm the agreed investigation, repair and testing before work is arranged.
