What we fix
An electrical emergency is anything that could hurt someone, start a fire or damage your property, or that leaves you without power you can't do without. As an emergency electrician in Sydney, Impulse Electrical Enterprise handles these faults day or night.
Lost power to the whole house, or just the kitchen? We trace the fault and get your power back on safely.
A safety switch that won't stay on has found a fault, so don't keep forcing it back on. We find the cause, make it safe and can check the rest of your switches with our safety switch testing.
If your switchboard has failed, is buzzing, hot or scorched, or an old fuse box keeps blowing, we make it safe straight away. If the board needs replacing, we quote a switchboard upgrade for you to approve.
A burning smell, sparks or a scorched, hot power point is often a sign of a loose or overheating connection, and it can be an early sign of a fire. Call us straight away so we can find it.
Storms, water leaks, rodents and accidents can all damage fittings and cables. We make the area safe, find the damaged section and repair or replace it so the power can go back on.
We also attend urgent faults for shops, offices and strata buildings, from a business with no power to common area lights that have gone out.
Not an emergency? See everything we do.
Arrival times
We attend emergency call-outs in every suburb we cover, from the Inner West, Strathfield, Burwood and Canada Bay to Glebe, Ultimo, Hunters Hill, Gladesville and Riverview. As your emergency electrician in the Inner West, we give you an estimated arrival time when you call and text you a live tracking link once your electrician is on the way. Outside these suburbs? Call us anyway and we'll tell you straight away whether we can get to you.
For faults that can't wait but aren't dangerous, such as a power point that has stopped working or lights out in one room while the safety switch holds, call us and we'll try to book a same day electrician visit in the Inner West, depending on availability. For work that can wait, see all the suburbs we cover.
How it works
In business hours, our office team answers. After hours, you speak with Matthew or one of our electricians. We ask what's happening and talk you through staying safe until help arrives.
We confirm the call-out price on the phone before we send anyone. After hours, it's $250 + GST, so there are no surprises when your electrician arrives.
Once your electrician is on the way, you get a text with a live tracking link showing when they'll arrive. When they get there, they find the fault and make it safe.
We explain what's needed and what it will cost, and nothing goes ahead until you approve it. When the work needs one, you get a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW).
Prices
An after-hours emergency call-out costs $250 + GST. We confirm the price on the phone before we send anyone, and you approve any repair before we start.
| After-hours emergency call-out | $250 + GST |
Every fault is different. Beyond the call-out, the final cost of a 24 hour electrician visit depends on what's causing the problem, the parts needed, how long the repair takes and how easy it is to reach the wiring. We talk you through it on site before any repair goes ahead.

Yes. As a 24/7 electrician, our phones are answered every day of the year, including weekends and public holidays. Call-outs on public holidays depend on electrician availability, and public holiday rates may apply.
It can be. If it trips again as soon as you reset it, or you can smell burning, leave it off and call us. If it tripped once and has stayed on, it's less urgent, but book a check so we can find the cause.
If the whole street has lost power, it's usually a network fault for your electricity network to fix. Report it to Ausgrid on 13 13 88, or to Endeavour Energy on 131 003 if you're in its area. If only your home, or part of it, has lost power, the fault is likely on your side, so call us.
We attend emergencies in every suburb we cover, from the Inner West, Strathfield, Burwood and Canada Bay to Glebe, Ultimo, Hunters Hill, Gladesville and Riverview. If you're further afield, call us and we'll tell you straight away whether we can come. The $250 + GST after-hours call-out applies wherever we attend.
Yes. We attend rentals for landlords and property managers. We contact the tenant directly to arrange access, and we confirm who approves the work and receives the invoice before we start.
