Common Electrical Emergencies
Our team is equipped to manage a wide range of urgent issues. Contact us immediately if you encounter:

These scenarios present significant safety hazards. Immediate response is essential to protect property and lives.
What You Can Do Immediately
Before the electrician arrives, take the following precautions if it is safe to do so:
- Turn off the main switch on the switchboard if smoke or fire is visible.
- Avoid contact with any exposed or water-affected wiring.
- Keep children and pets clear of impacted areas.
- Unplug sensitive devices if it is safe to do so.
- Call Connected Electricians and Cablers immediately.
Note: Under Queensland law, it is illegal and dangerous to attempt electrical repairs without proper licensure.
