About This Service
Emergency Electrical
Electrical emergencies don't wait for business hours — and neither do we. ElectricalPro provides 24/7 emergency electrical services across Murray Bridge and the Adelaide Hills, with response times that set the standard in the region. Our fastest documented response was just 10 minutes, as experienced by customer Dirk Jay, and we consistently arrive on-site within 60 minutes for urgent situations throughout our service area. With over 20 years of experience since founding in 2003, our emergency team has seen and resolved every type of electrical crisis — from complete power outages during summer storms to dangerous switchboard faults detected by smoke or burning smells. We maintain a fully-stocked service vehicle at all times, carrying replacement safety switches, circuit breakers, cable, connectors and common switchboard components so that the majority of emergency repairs are completed on the very first visit without needing to return for parts.
What We Offer
Emergency Electrical at a Glance
Power Outages & Storm Damage
Whether it's a complete power outage from storm damage, a damaged meterbox, or downed lines affecting your supply, our emergency team responds fast with the equipment to diagnose and restore your power on the first visit.
Safety Switch & Breaker Faults
A safety switch that trips repeatedly or won't reset needs urgent attention. We systematically isolate each circuit to pinpoint the exact source of the fault rather than applying temporary fixes that leave underlying issues unresolved.
Sparking & Burning Smells
Sparking at power points, burning smells from your switchboard, or exposed wiring are serious fire risks that demand immediate response. We carry thermal imaging equipment to detect hidden hotspots in switchboards and wiring that aren't visible to the naked eye.
Thermal Imaging Diagnostics
Our thermal imaging equipment identifies dangerous hotspots in switchboards and behind walls before they become catastrophic. This advanced diagnostic approach allows us to detect fire risks and overloaded connections that traditional testing alone would miss.
Systematic Fault Finding
Our fault detection process isolates each circuit individually to identify the exact source of the problem. We don't apply band-aid fixes — we find and resolve the root cause so the issue doesn't recur.
Follow-Up & Prevention
All emergency work receives full compliance certification. We follow up after every callout to ensure the issue is fully resolved and recommend preventative measures like switchboard upgrades, surge protection or safety switch installations on unprotected circuits.

Safety Verification
Before we leave, we test all affected circuits, verify safety switch operation, and issue a compliance certificate for any work performed. We also advise on any preventative measures to reduce the risk of future emergencies.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as an electrical emergency?
Power outages, sparking or smoking outlets, burning smells from switchboards, exposed wiring, safety switches that won't reset, and any situation where you feel electricity poses an immediate safety risk. When in doubt, call us.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency?
For urgent safety situations in the Murray Bridge and Adelaide Hills area, we aim to be on-site within 60 minutes. Response times may vary depending on time of day and current callout volume.
Is there an after-hours callout fee?
Emergency callouts outside business hours do attract a callout fee, which we'll communicate upfront before attending. There are no hidden charges — you'll know the cost before we arrive.
My safety switch keeps tripping — is that an emergency?
A safety switch that trips once and resets is usually not an emergency, but one that trips repeatedly or won't reset at all should be treated as urgent. It may indicate a serious fault. Call us and we'll advise whether an immediate callout is needed.
Local Knowledge
Emergency Electrical in Murray Bridge & Adelaide Hills
The Murray Bridge and Adelaide Hills region is prone to severe summer storms that can cause power outages, damage overhead lines and trip safety switches across entire neighbourhoods. The rural and semi-rural nature of parts of our service area means that some properties rely on longer supply runs that are more vulnerable to storm damage and wildlife interference. SA Power Networks manages the distribution network, but faults on your side of the meter are your responsibility — and that is where ElectricalPro steps in. Our local knowledge of the area, built over 20 years of serving the community, means we know the common fault patterns, the properties most at risk, and the fastest routes to reach you when minutes matter.
