When It Can’t Wait Until Monday
Power out in half the house, a safety switch that won’t stay on, a burning smell from a power point. Some electrical faults need someone now. M Tech Electrical takes emergency calls day and night across Perth, from our base in North Perth.
You speak to the licensed electrician who’ll actually attend, not a call centre. We’ll ask a few questions on the phone, tell you what to do to stay safe in the meantime, and give you an honest idea of when we can be there.
What Counts as an Electrical Emergency
Loss of Power
Part or all of the property has gone dead while the neighbours still have power.
Tripping Safety Switch
An RCD that trips again as soon as it’s reset is telling you there’s a fault on a circuit.
Burning Smell or Sparks
Scorch marks, a hot power point or a smell of burning plastic needs attention immediately.
Water and Electrics
Leaks into light fittings, ceilings or the switchboard after a storm or burst pipe.
Storm Damage
Fallen service lines, damaged poles or points of attachment pulled away after wild weather.
Commercial Shutdowns
A fault that has stopped a shop, office or strata building from operating.

What to Do Before We Arrive
- If there’s fire or smoke, call 000 first. Get everyone out and don’t try to fight an electrical fire with water.
- Don’t touch anything sparking, wet or damaged. Keep kids and pets clear of the area.
- If it’s safe to reach, switch off the main switch at the switchboard. Don’t do it if the board is wet or damaged.
- Don’t keep resetting a safety switch that trips. It’s tripping for a reason.
- Check whether the street is out too. If the whole street has lost power, it’s a network fault, so call Western Power on 13 13 51.
You deal directly with the owner. No call centre. You talk to Matt, and our own team comes out and fixes it.
Not sure if it’s urgent? Call anyway. We’ll tell you honestly whether it needs someone tonight or can safely wait for a booked visit.
