When the power goes and it can't wait
An electrical emergency doesn't keep office hours. A DB board that trips and won't reset at eleven at night, a burning smell behind a wall plug, half the house suddenly dark before a dinner in Morninghill — these are the calls we take, and we take them at any hour. Electromech runs a genuine 24/7 emergency service for Bedfordview and the surrounding East Rand, staffed by wireman-licensed technicians who fix the fault properly, not just quiet it down.
With around twelve years behind us, we've seen most of what a Bedfordview property can throw up — from failed inverters during load shedding in Senderwood to overloaded older boards in Bedford Gardens. Call, tell us what's happening, and we'll talk you through making things safe while a technician heads your way. If it turns out to be less urgent than it felt, we'll tell you that too, and book you in for our standard electrician in Bedfordview service instead.
Common Bedfordview electrical emergencies
If any of this is happening right now, don't wait it out — pick up the phone.
Total power loss
The whole property dark while the neighbours have lights? That points to a fault on your side of the meter — we'll trace and restore it.
Tripping DB board
A breaker that trips the moment you reset it is protecting you from a real fault. We find the cause instead of forcing it back on.
Burning smell or smoke
Hot plugs, scorch marks or that acrid smell means switch off at the main and call now. This is how electrical fires start.
Sparking & exposed wiring
Arcing sockets, a sparking board or bare conductors after a knock or a leak — a genuine shock and fire risk we treat as urgent.
Backup power failure
Inverter won't switch over, generator won't start, changeover stuck — see our generator repairs in Bedfordview.
Water & electrics
A burst geyser, a leak into a light fitting or a flooded DB — water and power together need isolating fast and safely.
What to do while you wait for us
Your safety comes first, and a few simple steps make a real difference before our technician reaches you. If you can reach your DB board safely, switch off the main breaker to kill the supply and isolate whatever's faulting. Unplug the appliances on the affected circuits so nothing surges when power returns. Keep everyone — children and pets included — well clear of anything sparking, smoking or hot to the touch.
Please don't do two things: don't keep flipping a breaker that trips straight back, because it's warning you of a live fault, and don't touch anything wet or scorched with bare hands. Leave the diagnosis to us. When you call, describe what you can see, hear and smell — it helps our technician arrive ready with the right parts and a head start on the fix.
Proper diagnosis, not a temporary patch
Anyone can flip a breaker back on and call it fixed. The point of an emergency electrician is to find what actually tripped it — a failing geyser element, a shorted circuit, a water-damaged fitting, an overloaded board straining under an inverter and a pool pump at once. We carry the test gear to pin it down and the parts to put it right there and then, wherever we can.
Because our technicians are qualified across electrical work, we handle the whole picture in one visit rather than sending you off to someone else. And every emergency repair is still done to SANS 10142, with a Certificate of Compliance issued where the work calls for one.
