Quick triage
Is This an Emergency?
Call during business hours if you have:
- Complete loss of power to your home
- Sparking, burning smell, or smoke from a power point, switch, or the switchboard
- A safety switch (RCD) that trips repeatedly and won't reset
- Exposed or damaged wiring
- A downed power line on or near your property (also call Western Power on 13 13 51)
- Burning or hot switchboard, meter box, or power point
These usually aren't an emergency (but still worth a call):
- A single power point not working
- Flickering lights in one room
- Planning a switchboard upgrade or new circuit
Planning ahead instead? See our Switchboard Upgrades page for the non-urgent fix.
During business hours, call if you're not sure which one you've got. Glen will tell you straight whether it needs an urgent visit or can wait for a normal booking.
Outside 7am–5pm, Mon–Fri
Reading This Outside Business Hours?
Glen isn't on the phone right now. Glen is a local sparky, not a 24-hour call centre, so there's no point pretending otherwise. Here's what actually helps tonight.
Immediate danger? Call 000
Fire, smoke, someone hurt, or sparking you can't shut off at the main switch. Don't wait for an electrician: call 000.
Street dark or a line down? Western Power
Network faults aren't house wiring, and Western Power runs around the clock on 13 13 51. Stay well back from any fallen line.
Can it wait for morning? Send it now
Power off to one circuit, a dead room, an RCD you've left off. Send Glen the details and he picks it up first thing on the next business day.
Make it safe, then leave it

Quick answers
Emergency Electrician: Quick Answers
How fast can you get to me?
During business hours, Glen will give you a realistic arrival time when you call. JEC is based in Joondalup and covers the northern suburbs, but does not promise a fixed response time.
Is there a call-out fee?
Yes. The call-out is $180 + GST and includes the first 30 minutes on site. If the job needs more than that, Glen tells you what it will cost before he starts, so the price is agreed rather than discovered on the invoice.
Are you available after hours?
No. JEC's emergency electrical service operates during business hours only: Monday to Friday, 7am–5pm. If there is an immediate danger or fire outside those hours, call 000. For a network outage or damaged power line, call Western Power on 13 13 51. If it can safely wait, send Glen the details through the contact form and he picks it up first thing on the next business day.
What if it's a power outage across my whole street, not just my house?
That's usually a network issue, not a house wiring fault. Check Western Power's outage map or call 13 13 51 first. If you're not sure whether it's just your property, call us and we'll help you work it out.
