Emergency Call-Outs

Some electrical problems can’t wait. Sparking outlets, burning smells, complete power loss, exposed wiring, these need someone out fast, not a booking next week. We handle emergency electrical call-outs across Scarborough and Perth. We offer a priority response during business hours, with after-hours availability for genuine emergencies.
Signs You Need an Emergency Electrician

● Burning smell or visible sparks from an outlet or switchboard
● Complete loss of power (with neighbours still on)
● Exposed or damaged wiring
● Safety switch that won’t reset
● Water near electrical fittings or switchboards

What To Do While You Wait
If it’s safe to do so, turn the power off at the main switch. If you can see flames, call 000 first. Keep everyone clear of the area and don’t attempt to investigate or touch anything yourself, then call us.

Why Cove

You’ll speak to someone who actually understands the problem, not a call centre reading from a script. We’ll talk you through what to do safely and get to you as quickly as we can.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as an electrical emergency?

Anything posing an immediate safety risk: sparking, burning smells, exposed wiring, a safety switch that won’t reset, or a total loss of power. If you’re not sure, call us, we’d rather check a non-emergency than have you sit on something dangerous.
Yes, we charge after hours for emergency call outs and emergency call outs during the day
Generally, we try to get to you within 1hr.
That points to a fault at your property rather than a wider outage. Turn off the main switch if it’s safe to do so and call us. If your neighbours are out too, it’s likely a Western Power outage and worth checking their outage website first.
