Are you available after hours?
Yes. We answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A real local sparky picks up — not a call centre. After-hours callouts attract a small surcharge; we'll tell you the exact price before we start.

What should I do if a socket starts sparking or smoking?
Switch off the main breaker at the switchboard, unplug anything in that socket if it's safe to reach, keep people clear, and call us straight away on 04 885 3562. Do not use the socket until we've inspected it.
