Immediate action by emergency electricians, like us at Down to the Wire, is necessary to address and rectify the underlying issue to ensure your safety.
My safety switch is tripping. Is this an emergency?
Indeed, tripped safety switches are considered an emergency. They’re designed to cut off electricity instantly to prevent shock or fire hazards if a fault is detected.

Lack of regular electrical maintenance.
These situations can significantly increase the risk of an electrical fire, underlining the importance of prompt intervention by professionals like us at Down to the Wire to ensure safety and prevent damage.
Is there a call-out fee for emergencies?
Yes, there may be a call-out fee for emergency services. We ensure that we discuss all fees upfront when you contact us so you’ll clearly understand the costs involved before we proceed. Transparency is key to our service at Down to the Wire.

Regular Checks: Frequently inspect cords and outlets for wear and tear.
Avoid Overloading: Don’t overload power boards or sockets.
Safe Installation: Ensure electrical systems and appliances are installed by a professional.

Stay Informed: Educate yourself on basic electrical safety practices.
These tips can significantly reduce the risk of electrical emergencies in your home or business.
