⚠ If You Have an Active Electrical Emergency Right Now
If you can smell burning, see sparking, or believe there is an immediate risk of fire or electrocution: switch off the mains power at your switchboard immediately, leave the building if there is visible smoke or fire, call 000 if there is a fire or someone has been electrocuted, and then call Monaco Electrical on 1300 092 853 once you and your property are safe. Do not attempt to investigate or repair any electrical fault yourself.

When to Call an Emergency Electrician in Sydney
Some electrical issues can wait. These cannot. If you are experiencing any of the following, call Monaco Electrical on 1300 092 853 immediately.
Burning Smell from Switchboard or Power Point
A burning smell from any electrical fitting is a potential fire risk. Switch off the mains immediately and call us. Do not use the property until the fault has been diagnosed and repaired by a licensed electrician.
Sparking or Arcing from Any Fitting
Visible sparking or arcing from a power point, switchboard, light fitting or appliance connection is an immediate electrical hazard. Stop using the circuit, switch off power to that area and call us immediately.
Electric Shock from a Power Point or Appliance
Any electric shock — even a mild one — indicates a dangerous fault. If someone has been electrocuted, call 000 immediately. Once safe, call Monaco Electrical to diagnose and rectify the fault before the property is used again.
Circuit Breaker Tripping Repeatedly
A circuit breaker that trips repeatedly and will not stay reset indicates an overloaded circuit, a faulty appliance or a wiring fault. Resetting without identifying the cause is dangerous. Call Monaco Electrical to diagnose the fault.
Complete Loss of Power to the Property
If the power has gone out and it is not a network outage affecting your street, the fault is likely in your switchboard, service connection or internal wiring. Monaco Electrical diagnoses and resolves power outages across Sydney.
Flickering Lights Combined With Other Symptoms
Flickering lights alone may indicate a loose fitting or failing globe. Combined with a burning smell, tripping breakers or hot power points, they indicate a more serious fault requiring urgent attention.
What Does an Emergency Electrician Do in Sydney?
An emergency electrician in Sydney responds to urgent electrical faults that pose a safety risk, have caused loss of power to a property, or require immediate repair to restore normal operation. Emergency electrical work includes fault finding and diagnosis, switchboard fault repair, power outage restoration, damaged wiring repair, tripping circuit breaker resolution and urgent safety inspections.
Monaco Electrical Services has provided emergency and reactive electrical services across Greater Sydney since 1999. Based in Alexandria, our licensed team responds to electrical emergencies for homeowners, strata managers, commercial property managers and facility teams. When you call Monaco Electrical with an emergency, you speak to a person who can help — not an automated answering system.
All emergency electrical work carried out by Monaco Electrical is performed by licensed electricians, documented with the required compliance paperwork, and completed to AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules. Every emergency job ends with a clear explanation of what was found, what was repaired and what steps, if any, should be taken to prevent recurrence.
In NSW, ceiling fan installation is classified as electrical work and must be carried out by a licensed electrician. It is illegal to install a ceiling fan yourself unless you hold a current NSW electrical licence. Unlicensed electrical work also voids home and contents insurance and can create serious safety risks.
Monaco Electrical Services installs ceiling fans across Greater Sydney for homeowners, strata managers, property managers and commercial clients. Whether you need a single fan installed in a bedroom, multiple fans throughout a home, an outdoor alfresco fan or a fan and light combination unit — our licensed team handles the full installation from mounting bracket to final test.
A correctly installed ceiling fan can reduce air conditioning usage by up to 40% and significantly lower energy bills year-round. In summer, ceiling fans create a wind chill effect that makes rooms feel cooler without lowering the actual temperature. In winter, reversing the fan direction pushes warm air trapped at the ceiling back down into the living space.

The Benefits of Ceiling Fans in Sydney Homes
Sydney’s climate makes ceiling fans one of the most cost-effective comfort upgrades a homeowner can make. Here is why so many Sydney homes have one in every room.
Lower Energy Bills
A ceiling fan uses as little as 15 to 75 watts — a fraction of the cost of running an air conditioner. Running a fan alongside your air conditioner allows you to set the thermostat 2 to 4 degrees higher without any loss of comfort.
Year-Round Comfort
In summer, ceiling fans create a cooling wind chill effect. In winter, reversing the fan direction (clockwise at low speed) pushes warm air down from the ceiling, reducing heating costs significantly.
Environmentally Friendly
Ceiling fans consume far less energy than air conditioning systems and produce no refrigerant gases. For Sydney homeowners looking to reduce their environmental footprint, ceiling fans are one of the simplest changes available.
Quiet and Low Maintenance
Modern ceiling fans operate almost silently and require minimal maintenance — typically just an occasional clean of the blades. A properly installed fan on a rated bracket will operate reliably for many years without service.

What counts as an electrical emergency in Sydney?
Electrical emergencies include a burning smell from a switchboard or power point, sparking or arcing from any electrical fitting, a circuit breaker that trips repeatedly and will not reset, complete loss of power to the property, exposed or damaged wiring, electric shocks from power points or appliances, and flickering lights combined with burning smells. If in doubt, switch off the mains and call a licensed electrician immediately.
What should I do if I smell burning from my switchboard or power point?
Switch off the mains power at your switchboard immediately, do not use the affected circuit or fitting, leave the area if there is visible smoke, and call Monaco Electrical on 1300 092 853. A burning smell from electrical fittings indicates a potentially serious fault that could cause an electrical fire. Do not attempt to investigate the fault yourself.
Why does my circuit breaker keep tripping?
A circuit breaker that keeps tripping indicates one of three things: the circuit is overloaded with too many appliances; there is a fault in an appliance connected to the circuit; or there is a wiring fault on the circuit itself. Repeatedly resetting a tripping breaker without finding the cause is dangerous. Monaco Electrical diagnoses and resolves tripping circuit breakers across Sydney.
