Gauteng-wide
Emergency Electrician in Gauteng
24-hour callouts for electrical emergencies — across Johannesburg, Pretoria, Centurion, the East Rand, the West Rand and the Vaal.
Electrical emergencies in Gauteng do not wait for business hours. We run a 24-hour line for the situations that genuinely cannot wait, and we tell you honestly on the phone whether you need us tonight or whether it can safely hold until morning.
If you have no power, a burning smell, sparking or visible damage to your board in Gauteng, switch off at the main and call. A registered electrician is safer, faster and cheaper than finding out the hard way what a damaged circuit can do.
Gauteng is not one market. A board change in a 1950s Kensington house, a tenant fit-out in Sandton and a motor fault in a Wadeville factory are three different jobs needing three different approaches. That is why we organise by area — so the person who arrives already knows what the properties around you are like.
What our emergency electrician service covers
Total power loss
Tracing the loss back through the main switch, earth leakage, supply and metering to find where it actually stopped.
Burning smells & overheating
Locating the overheating connection or failing component before it becomes a fire.
Tripping that will not reset
Isolating the faulty circuit so the rest of the property can be safely returned to service tonight.
Storm & lightning damage
Assessing surge damage, restoring supply and documenting what failed for your insurance claim.
Water ingress
Making safe boards, points and circuits affected by leaks, burst geysers or flooding.
Sparking & exposed conductors
Immediate isolation and permanent repair of anything that presents a shock or fire risk.
Failed mains & main switches
Replacing failed main switches, isolators and supply connections.
Make-safe & full repair
We make the installation safe first, then quote and carry out the permanent repair.

Common questions about emergency electrician
What should I do before you arrive?
If it is safe to reach, switch off the main switch at the DB board. Do not touch anything that is wet, hot or sparking, keep people and pets away from the area, and do not keep resetting a breaker that trips — it is tripping for a reason.
What counts as an electrical emergency?
Anything with a fire or shock risk: burning smells, smoke, sparking, exposed conductors, water on electrical equipment, or someone receiving a shock. Total power loss also counts, particularly where there is medical equipment, a business or security at stake.
How fast can you get to Gauteng?
We prioritise emergencies and work Gauteng routinely. Call 084 412 1814 and we will give you a genuine arrival time rather than an optimistic one.
What do after-hours callouts cost?
After-hours rates are higher than standard rates and we tell you what they are on the phone, before we are dispatched. There are no surprises added afterwards.
Can you make it safe tonight and repair it properly later?
Yes, and that is often the sensible approach. We isolate the fault so the property is safe and the rest of the power is usable, then return with parts to do the permanent repair in daylight.
