When the power fails in Sandton, minutes matter
An electrical emergency in Sandton is rarely just an inconvenience. A dead board on a Friday afternoon in a Rivonia office park can stall a whole business. A burning smell in a Bryanston home at midnight is frightening. A tripping main in a Sandown complex leaves gates, lifts and security lighting down. When something goes wrong with the power, you need someone who will answer the phone and act — not a message telling you to try again in the morning.
That's what our emergency line is for. Electromech is based on the East Rand, and we extend a genuine 24/7 service to Sandton and the northern suburbs. Registered, wireman-licensed technicians, close to twelve years of fault-finding behind them, and every repair made safe and signed off to SANS 10142. Call the number, tell us what's happening, and we'll respond fast while helping you stay safe until we arrive.
Common electrical emergencies we handle
Total power failure
Not area-wide load shedding but your building alone in the dark? We trace the fault — mains, board or supply side — and restore power safely.
Tripping DB boards
A main that won't hold, or a circuit that trips the moment you reset it, points to an overload, earth fault or moisture. We find it and fix it.
Burning smell or sparks
Smoke, arcing or a hot, discoloured board is a fire risk. Isolate it and call us — we make it safe first, then repair.
Water & electrics
A leak into a DB board or fitting, or a flooded plug point, is dangerous. We isolate the affected circuits and put it right.
Failed backup changeover
Generator or inverter not picking up the load when the grid drops? We get changeover and backup power behaving again.
Geyser & circuit faults
Tripping geysers, dead sockets and burnt-out fittings sorted before they become a bigger — or unsafe — problem.
Keeping Sandton's businesses trading
In Africa's richest square mile, downtime is expensive. When a fault hits an office in the CBD, a suite along the Rivonia corridor or a shopfront near Sandton City, the cost isn't just the repair — it's the lost trading, the idle staff, the servers at risk. Our emergency work is built around getting you operational again quickly and safely.
We diagnose faults on mains, distribution boards and standby systems, and make sure changeover and backup power do their job when the grid drops. For businesses that can't afford a repeat, we'll flag the underlying cause and suggest planned commercial maintenance so the next outage doesn't catch you out.
Backup power solutions
What to do while you wait for us
A few sensible steps can keep everyone safe and stop a small fault becoming a serious one before we get there:
- Don't keep resetting the board. If a breaker trips straight back, leave it off — repeatedly forcing it can make a fault worse.
- Switch off the main if you smell burning, see smoke, or notice a hot or discoloured DB board, then keep people well clear of it.
- Unplug sensitive equipment — computers, servers, TVs — so a surge on restoration doesn't damage them.
- Keep away from water and electrics. If there's a leak near a board or fitting, don't touch it; isolate the circuit if you safely can.
- Note what happened. What tripped, any smell, whether the neighbours also lost power — it helps us diagnose faster on arrival.
Then call us. We'll talk you through anything urgent on the phone and let you know honestly when to expect us. If it's outside Sandton and you're elsewhere in the city, our service areas hub shows where else we respond.
