NICEIC registered · Available 24/7

Emergency Electrician in Northern Ireland

Electrical emergencies never happen at a good time. Day or night, weekends included, we connect you with a NICEIC registered emergency electrician fast.

Safety first: if anyone is in immediate danger, there is a fire, or someone has had an electric shock, call 999 straight away. If you can safely do so, switch off the power at your fuse board.

When to call an emergency electrician

Some electrical problems simply cannot wait until Monday morning. A sparking socket, a burning or fishy smell from a switch or plug, scorch marks around a fitting, or a fuse board that keeps tripping and will not reset are all signs that something is seriously wrong. A complete loss of power to part of your home, when your neighbours still have lights, usually points to a fault on your own installation rather than a wider power cut.

Water getting into light fittings after a leak, damaged cables after building work, and a hot or buzzing consumer unit are also emergencies. Do not touch anything that looks damaged, and keep children and pets away until an electrician has made it safe.

24/7 help across Belfast, Lisburn and all of NI

Our network covers every corner of Northern Ireland, with especially quick response across Belfast and Lisburn. Whether it is a Victorian terrace off the Ormeau Road, a flat in the Cathedral Quarter or a family home on the edge of Lisburn, we will find a qualified local electrician who can get to you quickly.

If there is a wider power cut in your area, check NIE Networks first, as the fault may be on the network rather than in your home.

Why WhatsApp is the fastest way

Instead of ringing round and waiting on hold, send us one WhatsApp message. Mark it URGENT, tell us your area and describe what has happened. A photo of the fuse board or the damaged fitting helps the electrician arrive with the right parts. We prioritise urgent messages and get your details to a local electrician straight away, so you can focus on keeping everyone safe.
