Urgent electrical calls in Ashfield often come from apartment blocks: flats and apartments make up 69.9% of homes here. The suburb is wholly in the Inner West Council area on Ausgrid's network, and renting is common, so many after-hours calls involve a tenant, an agent and sometimes a building manager.
We make the place safe, find what failed and explain it simply before any permanent repair is quoted.
When the power goes in Ashfield
In apartments, the usual faults are a tripped safety switch on your own board, a failed oven or cooktop element, or an overloaded circuit. In the suburb's Federation and Inter-war houses, worn switchgear, perished roof cabling and loose joins are more common. Burning smells, heat or sparking mean switch off at the main and call.

Absolutely outstanding electrician and genuinely one of the best people to work with. He diagnosed and fixed the issue within a couple of hours. He was professional, efficient, and reliable.

VERY HIGHLY recommend! We had an issue with power at home and needed someone urgently to restore the electricity service. They responded quickly, showed up on time, and got everything back up and running without any hassle.

I highly recommend Joe, he's very skilled, kind and does honest work. He did a massive last minute job for us, installing an entire 17.4kw ducted aircon system after our old unit broke.

I am so glad I called Empire Electrical. Joe is a very honest person which is hard to come by. He explained everything to me and charged me an incredibly fair price.

It was an extremely exceptional service from Joe! He came to replace my cooktop on my rented unit then went above and beyond liaising and explaining with my property manager.

I recently had Joe fix two exhaust fans at my place, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service. Joe showed up on time, explained everything clearly, and fixed the issues quickly.
Common property
If corridor lights and the lift work, the fault is likely in your unit. If the whole block is dark, the problem may be on the main board, which is common property. Tenants, who live in 50.5% of homes, should notify their agent as well. We restore your power and leave a written note about anything shared for the strata manager.
Street outage or home fault
If street lights and neighbours are also dark, Ausgrid is dealing with a network fault, and its outage map shows restoration estimates. If yours is the only home without power, the fault is on your side and we can attend.
Hot days
Canterbury Racecourse, the nearest open weather station, has a January mean maximum of 27.8°C. On hot days, older circuits running several air conditioners can trip repeatedly. We find the overloaded circuit and get you running safely.
Shops and the hospital precinct
Shops in the Liverpool Road precinct and Ashfield Mall, and suites near The Sydney Private Hospital, call when lighting, refrigeration or equipment fails. We restore a safe supply first so the business can keep going, then quote the permanent repair.
Urgent repairs on period houses
Ashfield's conservation areas include Federal-Fyle and Harland Estate. An urgent fault is made safe first, then the permanent repair is planned so new fittings and cable runs suit the house. If a temporary fix is needed overnight, we come back to finish it properly.

Questions from Ashfield
My Ashfield apartment lost power but the hallway lights are on. What should I check?+
Look at your own board, usually inside the front door or in a cupboard. If a safety switch or breaker has tripped, unplug appliances and try resetting it. Should it keep tripping, ring us. We find the faulty appliance or circuit and restore the rest of your unit. Note which rooms are out before calling.
I rent in Ashfield and the power failed at night. Can I call you directly?+
Yes, for a safety issue. Let your agent know as well. We make the property safe, record what we found and send details to the agent so the owner can approve the permanent repair. Keep the fridge closed while you wait for us.
There is a burning smell from a power point in my Ashfield house. What do I do?+
Turn off the main switch if you can do so safely, unplug anything in that outlet, and call us. A burning smell usually means an overheating connection. We isolate the circuit, replace the damaged parts and check nearby wiring. Do not use the outlet again until it has been checked.
