FAQ
What Situations Count as an Electrical Emergency?
An electrical emergency is any fault that poses an immediate risk to safety, causes a full loss of power, or could result in property damage if left unaddressed.
Common scenarios that may warrant an urgent call-out include:
▸ A safety switch that has tripped and cannot be reset.
▸ A complete loss of power to the home or business with no identifiable cause.
▸ Burning smells, scorch marks, or signs of heat near power points or switchboards.
▸ Exposed or damaged wiring following storm activity or accidental damage.
▸ Sparking outlets, flickering circuits, or intermittent power across multiple areas.
▸ Power outages affecting medical equipment or refrigerated goods.
If you are unsure whether your situation is an emergency, treat it as one and call. Prolec Tas can assess the fault and advise on the safest course of action.
How Quickly Can an Electrician Reach Me?
Response times can vary depending on location and the nature of the fault, though Prolec Tas aims to attend urgent call-outs as promptly as possible across the Greater Hobart region. Whether you are in Howrah, Moonah, or further out toward the Huon Valley, the team endeavours to reach you without unnecessary delay.
For non-life-threatening faults that still require prompt attention, a switchboard inspection or electrical safety check can often be scheduled at short notice.
What Should I Do While Waiting for the Electrician?
While waiting for a licensed electrician to arrive, there are several steps that may help keep your household or premises safe:
▸ Do not attempt to reset a safety switch more than once if it keeps tripping.
▸ Switch off and unplug appliances from affected circuits where it is safe to do so.
▸ Avoid using water near any area where electrical damage is suspected.
▸ Keep others away from exposed wiring or damaged power points.
▸ If there is any risk of fire, evacuate and call 000 immediately before calling an electrician.
