Emergency Electrical Repairs

Electrical faults can be dangerous and disruptive. When something goes wrong, you need a licensed electrician who can find the problem quickly and make it safe — whether it's a home without power or a business that can't trade.

  • Sudden loss of power and partial power outages
  • Tripping safety switches and circuit breakers
  • Burning smells, sparks or scorched outlets
  • Electric shocks from appliances or fittings
  • Storm and weather-related electrical damage
  • Hot or buzzing switchboards
  • Faulty wiring and fault finding
  • Commercial breakdowns affecting trade
  • Refrigeration and cool room power failures
  • Making unsafe situations safe

Stay Safe First

If you smell burning, see sparks, or someone has received a shock, switch off power at the main switch if it's safe to do so, keep clear of the area, and call us. Don't touch anything that may be live.

For situations involving fire or immediate danger to life, call 000 first.

Sebelec is licensed in the NT and SA. We'll diagnose the fault, make it safe, and carry out repairs with certificates of compliance where required.

The detail

When to Call an Emergency Electrician

Some electrical problems can wait for a scheduled visit — others can't. A complete loss of power, a safety switch that keeps tripping and won't reset, the smell of burning from a power point or switchboard, visible sparks, or anyone receiving an electric shock are all signs to stop using the affected circuits and get a licensed electrician out promptly. These are warning signs of faults that can lead to fire or injury.

For businesses

An electrical fault can bring a business to a standstill — tills down, refrigeration off, lights out. We respond to commercial breakdowns across Alice Springs, diagnose the cause, and get you trading again as quickly as safely possible. For sites with refrigeration or cool rooms, a fast response can also save stock.

Finding the fault

Electrical fault finding is methodical work. Rather than guessing, we isolate the problem circuit, identify the cause — a failing appliance, damaged cable, water ingress, an overloaded circuit or failed component — and repair it properly so it doesn't recur. Where a fault points to an underlying issue like an ageing switchboard, we'll let you know.
