Our emergency electrician service in Coventry covers power loss, burning smells, sparking sockets and tripping that won't reset. We take call-outs 24/7, with no call-out charge.
Call straight away if you smell burning, see scorch marks or sparks, find exposed wires, or the power won't come back on. Water leaking near lights or sockets is also an emergency. A single dead socket or a blown bulb can usually wait for a normal visit.
If everything is off, look outside. If neighbours and streetlights are off too, it's likely a power cut, so call 105, the free number for your network operator. If it's only your home, check whether a switch or RCD on your consumer unit has tripped.
When we arrive, our first job is to isolate the fault so your home is safe. Then we test the circuits to find the cause and repair it if we can. If parts are needed, we leave the rest of the house working and come back to finish.
When you call, we'll ask what's happened and talk you through switching off at the consumer unit if it's safe to do so. Don't touch anything that's hot, wet or damaged. We'll give you an idea of when we can get to you.
On site, we make the fault safe, test the affected circuits and track down the cause. Many emergency faults can be repaired on the same visit. Before we leave, we test the repair and explain what happened and whether anything else needs attention.
Tell us about the leak, fault or project. We aim to respond the same day, and there's no call-out charge.
We look at the job in person and give you a free, no-obligation quote before any work starts.
We finish the job, test everything we have fitted and certify the work before we hand it back to you.
Unplug everything on the circuit that's tripping, then reset the switch. If it holds, plug things back in one at a time to find the faulty appliance. If it trips with nothing plugged in, the fault is in the wiring, and you'll need an electrician to test the circuit.
No. There's no call-out charge, even for emergency electrical call-outs. You pay for the repair work, and we tell you what's needed and what it will cost before we go beyond making the fault safe, so you're never left guessing about the bill.
Yes. Water getting into light fittings, sockets or the consumer unit can cause shocks, short circuits and tripping. Switch off at the main switch if you can do it safely from a dry spot, and keep away from wet fittings. We can test the circuits once the leak is fixed.
An electrical burning smell is often described as fishy or like hot plastic, and it may come from a socket, switch or light fitting. Switch off that circuit at the consumer unit if it's safe, stop using the fitting and call an electrician straight away.
