Emergency electrical work covers power outages, burning smells, repeated tripping, damaged wiring and storm damage. We make the site safe first, then find the cause and either fix it or isolate it so the rest of the house stays on. In Harkaway that work is done by our own crew out of Boronia, certified and quoted before we start.

Harkaway is part of our home patch — we're through Casey most weeks, so emergency electrical repairs here doesn't come with a travel premium or a long wait. Repeated tripping is information, not a nuisance. A breaker that keeps going is doing its job, and the fault behind it is nearly always traceable with proper testing rather than by unplugging things one at a time.
Because we're already working across Beaconsfield Upper, Narre Warren North and Berwick, a Harkaway job usually slots into a run we're doing anyway. That keeps the call-out honest and means we can come back if something needs a second look.
Isolate the fault, secure the site and get the danger out of the way first.
Proper fault-finding with test gear, not guesswork or part-swapping.
Fix it on the spot where we can, or isolate so the rest of the house stays live.
Repairs tested and certified, with what we found written down.
Every emergency electrical repairs booking in Harkaway runs off the same checklist, whether it's a 1960s brick veneer or a new build. Here's exactly what's covered in the price we quote you.
A-Grade licensed, REC 33326, fully insured and CEC accredited for solar design and installation. Emergency repairs are certified like any other work, and we tell you what actually caused it.
The part people underestimate with emergency electrical repairs is the prep. Isolate the fault, secure the site and get the danger out of the way first. We do that before anyone quotes a number, because a price written without looking at the board is a price that changes halfway through the job.
A burning smell or hot switch plate needs the circuit killed immediately. Loose connections generate heat long before they cause damage, and that's the window where a cheap repair is still possible.
“Quoted before we start, certified when we finish.”
Casey is mostly newer estate housing, so the board is modern and RCD-protected — the catch is what's behind it. Standard practice on these builds was one small sub-main to the garage sized for lights and a couple of outlets, so a charger needs a dedicated run or load management. Boards are also frequently full despite being new, which is a spare-ways problem rather than a compliance one.
Harkaway sits on the same run as Beaconsfield Upper, Narre Warren North, Berwick — if we're at one, we're usually minutes from the others.
Anyone can say they're licensed. Here's what that actually means when we're on your job — and the paperwork you'll hold at the end of it.
You see the number, the inclusions and the exclusions in writing. If the scope changes on site, we stop and ask — we don't invoice a surprise.
No labour hire, no subcontractors. The electrician who quotes your job is the one standing in your switchboard, on the same REC (33326).
Every job finishes with a Certificate of Electrical Safety, tested circuits, a labelled board and photos of anything hidden behind a wall.
Workmanship guaranteed and manufacturer warranties registered in your name. If something plays up, you ring us — not a call centre in another state.
Nobody can quote emergency electrical repairs honestly without seeing the job. What we can do is show you exactly what moves the number, so the price you're given in Harkaway makes sense before you agree to it. Most faults are diagnosed within the first hour. Repairs depend on what we find — you'll get told before extra work happens.
Plenty of Harkaway homes still run a board that predates RCDs. If yours does, it either needs upgrading first or it needs allowing for in the quote — we tell you which on the day, not after.
Roof pitch, subfloor clearance and how far the run is from the board move the labour more than the fittings do. We measure it before pricing, so the number holds.
Call-out plus the first half hour is quoted before we come out, with honest hourly after that. You'll know the rate before we get in the van.
Emergency repairs are certified like any other work, and we tell you what actually caused it. Where a rebate applies we handle the forms and the compliance evidence — you don't chase it.

Excellent service! The team arrived on time and completed the installation efficiently and up to scratch. Everything was done neatly, with great attention to detail. Ryan and Jack are top blokes and easy to deal with. Highly recommended!
Jeffrey Belvez · Glen Waverley
Absolutely fantastic service and work done! The boys were super accommodating, answered any questions I had without a problem, left everything neat and tidy and overall did an amazing job installing our battery and inverter. Cannot recommend enough.
Isaac Giblett · Battery + inverter
Zak and Ryan did a amazing job. Even with the obstacles of a double story home with a internal switch board they persevered in the heat and got the job done. Thanks guys we realy appreciate your work and polite attitude.

Ryan and Jack did a great job doing the electrical work on my new 4 head split system. They got the job done in no time, and my split systems were up and running. Once connected, Ryan made sure all 4 heads were working. Thanks guys, great job!
James "Mitchi" Mitch · Split system
The experience is very nice with them. Specially Roy and Jack did their best. We are so much happy about their service. They heard every single word of us and suggest us which is good and why. Highly recommend

If there's more than one thing on the list, tell us when you book. Doing it in the one Harkaway visit means one set-up, one clean-up and one certificate — and it's almost always cheaper than having us back a second time.
Call-out plus the first half hour is quoted before we come out, with honest hourly after that. You'll know the rate before we get in the van. There's no travel premium to Harkaway — it's on our regular run from the Boronia workshop.
Most faults are diagnosed within the first hour. Repairs depend on what we find — you'll get told before extra work happens.
Yes — we're A-Grade licensed electricians and a Registered Electrical Contractor (REC 33326), fully insured and CEC-accredited for solar design and installation. Emergency repairs are certified like any other work, and we tell you what actually caused it.
If there's a burning smell, switch off the affected circuit at the board. If the whole house is out, check whether the neighbours are too — that usually means a network fault rather than yours. Then don't touch anything else.
We work right across Casey — including Beaconsfield Upper, Narre Warren North and Berwick — plus the wider east and south-east, from Boronia to Berwick and Balwyn to Warrandyte.

Most of what's wrong with this industry comes down to one thing: the person selling isn't the person installing.
I'm a licensed A-Grade electrician, and so is everyone who'll be on your roof or in your switchboard. When we quote your home, we're quoting work we'll do ourselves — which is why we'll happily talk you out of gear you don't need.
If you're thinking about getting off gas, call us. Worst case, you'll hang up knowing more than you did.
