Every so often, local residents require an emergency electrician in the Northern Beaches for an unforeseen power outage or electrical safety risk. This case in Newport was no exception.
At 9pm on a Monday night, we received a phone call from a Newport resident who experienced a sudden power outage. The customer explained they had several blackouts over the last week where their lights would dim and flicker, especially when using other appliances.
At this inconvenient hour, the family had begun cooking dinner using the induction cook top when the power suddenly went out. Checking the switchboard thinking it was the safety switch tripping, they discovered the switch was still turned on but there was a strong burning smell coming from the box.
Alarmed by the smell and needing power ASAP, they called us immediately.
