When to call

Electrical emergencies we handle

Some electrical faults are an inconvenience — others are a genuine fire or safety risk. If you’re seeing any of the following in your Taupō home or business, switch off at the board if it’s safe to do so and call us straight away on 07 809 5285:

Burning smell or smoke from a power point, switchboard or appliance
Sparking, arcing or scorch marks around outlets or switches
Total power loss when your neighbours still have power (a fault on your side of the meter)
A switchboard that keeps tripping and won’t reset
Buzzing, crackling or hot switches, outlets or light fittings
Damage from storms, flooding or fallen trees affecting your wiring or mains
Power lines or cables down on your property

What to do while you wait

If there’s a burning smell or sparking and it’s safe to reach, turn off the main switch on your switchboard. Keep clear of any fallen lines and water near electrical fittings. Then call us — we’ll talk you through making the situation safe and get an electrician to you as quickly as we can.

Honest emergency pricing

We’ll always tell you the call-out basis before we head out — no nasty surprises on the invoice. For genuine emergencies, getting you safe comes first; we sort the rest once the danger’s dealt with.

Serving the whole Taupō district

We cover Taupō town, Acacia Bay, Wairakei, Kinloch, Turangi, Reporoa and Mangakino for after-hours and emergency electrical work.

Emergency electrician FAQs

Do you really answer 24 hours a day?

Yes — our emergency line is staffed day and night, including weekends and public holidays. Call 07 809 5285 any time for an electrical emergency in Taupō.

How fast can you get to me?

We’re locally based, so response times across Taupō town and nearby suburbs are quick. For outlying areas like Turangi or Mangakino we’ll give you a realistic ETA when you call.

My power is out — is it an emergency or a network fault?

If your neighbours also have no power, it’s likely a network outage (contact your lines company). If only your property is affected, it’s usually a fault on your side of the meter — that’s us. Call and we’ll help you work out which it is.

Should I turn the power off myself?

If you can safely reach the switchboard and there’s sparking or a burning smell, switching off the main switch is a good idea. Never touch fallen power lines or wet electrical fittings — keep clear and call us.
