Electrical Services in Hornsby

Having a good local electrician, you can rely on when you need one is one thing. Having one who will drop everything when you experience an electrical emergency is another thing. Once you are a Hornsby Electric customer, any emergencies you have will be prioritised. This is worth its weight in gold if you ever experience one of the following electrical emergencies:

  • Tripping of electrical circuit breakers. Even if you repeatedly replace fuses and reset circuit breakers, your system will continue to draw more current than they can safely provide. This may also indicate a dangerous fault on one or more circuits.
  • Power outage. Once you rule out the energy provider outage, it may be faulty electricals causing an outage in your home. This can be an emergency as you may not have hot water, your fridge and other essential electrical appliances may be out of power and need fixing quickly before food deteriorates etc. Certainly, this kind of electrical issue needs fixing immediately.
  • Heating of switches and power points. If an electrical system surface is warm to touch or gives off a tiny (or larger) electric shock, this can be an indication that at best there is excessive demand on the circuit, or possibly something much worse. This should be only be seen to by an electrician since this might require an upgrade of your electrical wiring.
  • Weird odours coming from outlets. If you detect an odd smell coming from an outlet, turn off and unplug anything connected to it. Until you bring in a qualified electrician to look into it, avoid using it again.
  • Deterioration of your home’s main service panel. Rust or moisture on or under your home’s main service panel are tell-tale signs of deterioration. Once observed, they should be immediately dealt with as they threaten the main wiring connections within the house.
  • Hot water electrical fault We consider electrical issues with hot water systems to be classified as a ‘same day service’ job. No one wants to be without hot water for long periods of time.

At Hornsby Electric, we make sure we prioritise emergency work, even if we have to shuffle around less urgent jobs on our schedule. If you need an emergency on-call electrician for all your electrical emergencies, give Hornsby Electric a call on 9477 2550.
